Here's the full sized replica of Sokka's water tribe warclub I made a while back from Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Materials used:
• Plywood body with wooden railing sphere
• Covered completely in Bondo Auto Body filler to hide the wood grain & provide a "whale-bone" smooth finish
• Sheep skin handle wrap

I intended it to give away as a prize for a forum contest but had to back on off on that idea after realizing that it's solid, wieghted & constructed just like a real native warclub and could be used to seriously bludgeon others if given to the wrong individual.

The build-up pics can be seen in my scraps here: [link]

Wow, completely covered in Bondo? You must've had hours of fun sanding... But with great results!

The following petition represents us wanting M. Night Shyamalan to give us his ORIGINAL 2009 version of "The Last Airbender", which he filmed before Summer-2009....MUCH better than the version that's in theaters right now, which he filmed after the February-2010 reviews.

I appreciate the thought but I'm afraid I have to decline. I know the movie was heartbreaking and we all wish it had lived up to just an ounce of what we know it could have been, but I don't personally believe the original uncut version of the film has any more to offer in making 'Last Airbender' a better film. Unless all the actors in the theatrical cut were completely different, there's still no erasing or re-editing things like Noah Ringer's consistently dead line delivery.

I actually had the opportunity to read the shooting script before I saw the film. It contained all the cut scenes like the Kyoshi warrior stuff, etc. I can't say in my opinion it would have been any better with that material left in. Even without the terrible acting, the writing and story structure was still just as quick & choppy as the theatrical cut. Katara still made her annoying "Twitter-Update" style voice overs. Scenes still consisted of the barest form of unnecessary expiratory dialogue. The worst offender of them all- the firebenders still couldn't bend fire unless it was right in front of them.

The right elements for telling the story well just weren't there to start with from what I read. What was filmed simply reflected what wasn't there to start with in a fundamentally flawed script.

That said, I do wish everyone all the best in the petition though. I'd be interested in seeing the cut scenes out of morbid curiosity myself. Though more as special features rather than a re-cut.
