‘The Riddler’ Question Mark Cane

I decided to go to a fancy dress party as Batman’s ‘The Riddler.’

With a budget of nothing, I had to use some ingenuity to make his cane, a variant of which he is usually seen with. The result was  surprisingly effective and comfortable as a walking stick! I shall use it when I’m old and decrepit.

I used

  1. A polystyrene sphere
  2. Some black/silver/iridescent green paint
  3. Some pipe insulation
  4. Some cable ties
  5. A bit of old pipe
  6. Some time, mainly hammering the bit of old pipe into roughly the right shape!

Look out! A baddy! The stick part was painted again with black and an iridescent green modelling paint.
