FORCE PIKE BUILD
SO.... I am starting my forcepike build
so far I am using a carbon fiber fishing rod as the base (nice and light)
stacked zinc washers and rubber o ring spacers for the emitter tip
I am concerned the rings are too wide ... tried smaller ones but you could hardly see them
the rod is too long and I need to knock a bit off the top and add the little pointy part of the emitter tip to it

Re: FORCE PIKE BUILD
It's looking good but the emitter needs to be a lot closer to the end. As far as lenght it just needs to look good on you, meaning you hold it in hand and the end should be a few inches over your helmet. Look at the references, and the movies.

Re: FORCE PIKE BUILD
I like the pommel, there tends to be a lot of variation permitted on that, due to restrictions of parts availability.
But I like it anyway. Your coils at the top may be a bit large, but I've certainly seen larger.
Can I ask what you're using as the base, I don't recognize it as anything and it looks like a really good foundation to build off of?

Re: FORCE PIKE BUILD
Thanks.
Have hae made the coils smaller... found some better zinc washers to use ... much much better
The base is a collaspable fishing rod. I bought it from ebay for $7 then I pulled all the crap off it and cut the top piece down to a nice height. I have joined the two middle segments together and sanded it smooth before painting it silver... more pics to come ...

Re: FORCE PIKE BUILD
As long as you get the basic right shapes its not going to be a deal breaker. A square pommel for example would not work.
