I thought I'd share with you all my newley constructed Forcepike, using the one on Wookieepedia as a reference. I've been meaning to build this for some time only just in the past few weeks pulled my finger out an done something about it.

In all it probably cost me around £25 to do. Parts used - pool cue, ribbed water hose, boat navigation light, plastic tubing (from a redundant vacuum cleaner), silicone sealer nozzle, lid from a aftershave bottle, the cap from a childs food pouch, the switch from a torch and black and chrome spray.

I know I should have taken some WIP photo's so show how I made it to share with others!

Hope you like it - I'm VERY pleased with it especially as its my first real go at making something like this!

A suggestion you might do on the coils on the top of the pike is to match them with the silver of the pike.

Great work, I was wondering, could this be 501st aproved ? Cause I am working on my own Guard and need a Force Pike. And this one I think I can replicate.

As per 501st policy, weapons are not a required part of a costume for approval...

That being said, yes this is an acceptable force pike.

Very cool. About how many hours did it take you to put it together? I'm still trying to decide on a tutorial to follow but I want to get my robes together first.

Remember....ROTJ pikes have rasps (or something similar), prequels have coils. It looks fantastic though! Great job!
