The thick red paint has to be filed and sanded off... and some residue still remains... sigh...
Masking is done with some lousy masking tape and this caused paint to seep in and stain the not-to-paint parts together with the masking tape's glue... Sigh... More sanding has to be done on this (silver) parts... and this also means need to paint over these silver parts... Finally done... Now left the handle (yes, I know the original is supposed to be / look like a pipe too) and the pipe connecting the "blow-piece" to the cane itself...
A quick comparison of the WIP Hamel Cane to the original DX Metal Shaft (belonging to my little nephew)...
Added handle and pipe... More sanding after painting the handle... and repainting... Sigh.... Complete!!!! Posing with the DX White Wizard Driver... Nice...
The rings have to inclined at an angle due to limited space especially at the last ring (nearest to the mid-body of cane)... Looks good though...
A closer look at the blade part... I cut off a section of the original sword blade and reattached them back to form the spear blade... Looks good but a little bit too large... And it can be extended (using the original DX MEtal Shaft's gimmick)!!!
The middle part (close up)... Original idea is to put in the DX AxCalibur's sound-light circuit inside, but the circuit board is too big to even put inside the Gaia Memory slot... no choice but to give up the idea...
Closer look at the tail part... and yes, the tail part retains the extend-retract gimmick too...
Can put in Gaia Memory and activate!!!!
Can also slot in the Gadgets too!!!
Here's a video clip of the "DX" Hamel Cane...
