TLJ Executioner / Judicial Laser Ax

[gmrhodes13[Staff]]

Finally the EL wire has arrived, took some time to fit it through, had to cover some of the wire with heat shrink as I only wanted the wire between the claws to illuminate. Then the task of adding the heat glue without going overboard so there is enough light shining through.

 

 

 

Pretty happy with the outcome.

 

Some video of it in action with it hooked up to my Aker Amp.

 

 

Next version will hopefully be folding.

Pose with it! You need your FOTK with it!

[Shanester[TK]]

Stunning.  I commend your work.  Simply stunning.

Well after the next couple of days of trooping looks like I'll be back in the workshop and doing a mod to the "Claw", Hot Toys just release some images and what I thought was a blaster magazine is more a rectangle with 3 slits on two sides, I gather it will still have lights.

 

 

I didn't do too bad with the sound and lights though, pretty similar

Still doing some updates, I'm after accuracy not speed

Top and bottom blades don't seem offset either. I guess it was only an optical illusion caused by how the distance between the top and bottom blades is different on each side.

I noticed that some time ago with one of the photos so I made them straight and overlapped and the different sizes

We have an informal name for it now. The "Laser Ax".

Small update, since the Hot Toys photos emerged, a little bit more detail added, now for some more paint

Looking great. Will need one of these myself at some point.

I'm wondering here if I should do a scratch build or wait for the inevitable kit.

Awesome Job!  Can't wait to build one!

Amazing work mate!  I don't think I saw it posted...what material did you use for the claws?

 

Thanks!

[starsaber25[Admin]]

Wow this whole thread was simply amazing.  You are very talented Glen.  Great work!  I was never a real fan of the FOTK but I'm really digging this Executioner fella.

Many thanks for the kind words Steve.

What an amazing job!  I am getting all of my materials ready to start this same project and was wondering what you used for the blades?  I couldn't tell from the images what you cut those out of.  I want to make sure it's not to top heavy.

 

Thanks again for all of your post and sharing the process.

 

Much appreciated mate! 

 

Cheers!

Many thanks. I used some scrap pieces of ABS plastic I had lying around, but you could use any type of plastic. I tried to keep it light as I could and it has worked out quite well.

 

God luck with your build hope to see some photos soon

That's what I thought.  Thanks so much!  I am just finishing up on my oldest boy's TLJ Executioner suit and then on to the weapon!  It will be a scaled down version for his size.  I will be setting up my thread once I get started.  Really appreciate all of the information you provided.  Cheers!
