how can i make a cheap realistic 'prop' torpedo for a theatre/stage production?
Sounds like a silly question but its an imporatnt prop in the play and i havent a clue where to start! Have tried google and not returned much in the way of novelty / toy missiles - does anyone know where i can find one (it would be about a metre or so in size) or how best to make one?
It all depends on size needed and how the prop will be USED (will people sit on it ?) and now long you need it to last.
Nibbles is headed in the right direction... carpet roll is cheap and easy to work with and light weight. PVC Pipe would work also... the end-cap is the perfect detector head. A fan will work for blades, or cut from sheet material (Aluminum or plastic). Ir a larger diameter is needed, it's down to ribs & stringers covered with hardboard or canvas
A metre in size (Length or Diameter) ?? The smallest US torpedo (airdropped) is about 8.5 in length and about one foot in diameter.
A submarine or ship launched torpedo should be at least 10 feet x 18 inches in diameter the (US Mk-48 is 19' x 21")
Good Luck
