Clara's Vortex Manipulator

[madgirlinabox]

So in DotD, Clara acquirers a vortex manipulator. I now want one so how would I go about making one? I've never made a prop before so any and all help will be very much appreciated! 
Here is the best picture I can find:

Considering it is said to be Jack's Vortex Manipulator, base it off of that. I need to watch DotD a few more times, but from the initial watch, it looks correct to be Jack's, albeit a bit more beat up, but that would be appropriate.







There is a toy VM on the market that a number of Jack cosplayers use that is ok, and I've seen some listings for custom builds (at least for the strap) on Etsy.

A friend of mine locally is working on a prototype VM right now. I'm hoping to see final pics and get a price sometime soon, as I'd love to buy one from him.

Rubbertoe replicas have just announced a pre-order for an official replica, but be prepared to pay £215 for one, also, they're only making 200.

I actually own the toy. The majority's made out of this rubbery plastic including the strap (which is probably the worst part of it, especially because it isn't that big), and it isn't that great in terms of quality. But it's probably okay in getting the idea across, if that's what you want. Really I'd say that the main tech part of it could probably be used as a decent base, but the rest of it just looks very plasticky if you ask me.

So I had been oggling the Rubbertoe Replica's VM on Facebook the other day, and my friend Thomas mentioned he may try his hand at building one because he was bored.  I get tagged in these pictures tonight:







It's sized to fit my Ipod, completely with sneaky earbud jack (haha).

I now have a Vortex Manipulator.  O.O
