To the Examiner

Just in case my project get assessed I would like the examiner to know that the killer bee was broken from viewing on the exhibition and the clown knuckle duster was stolen also on display at the exibition. I hope this does not effect my mark, Richard Price.

Killer Bee

My final weapon for a child is influenced by the spinning top and the Tomy car as they both use the mechanism of the toy to flick out a blade. So my version for the weapon for a child is to create a bee that when you squeeze it a blade will come out instead of a stinger. I achieved this by creating a box which contains a sharpened blade with a spring attached. Another flat piece of sloped wood is put on a pivot with another spring attached so that when this is pushed it will allow the spring to flick the blade out of the box but when the blade is then pushed back in it will be held in place due to the sloped catch and the pivot with a spring.

Teddy Bear Mace

Wieght and hardness is what turns the babies brick into a weapon so to develop this so that it is a weapon for a child i have created a mace but disguised as a teddy bear with a pull to talk chord as the chain and handel. I achieved this by filling a 2 litre bottle with cement and inserting a coiled piece of metal rod with a loop in the middle. I have then attached a metal rope using metal wire to secure to the loop and inserted this into the the teddy with a hole at the top to allow for the wire to come through. The rope is disguised as the pull to talk chord by covering the metal rope with the outer ring of a skipping rop then this is secured in a handel.

Clown Knuckles

The jack in a box i have transformed so that when needed spikes appear through the top and it can be used as a punching weapon. To develop this into my weapon for a child i have taken the clown theme and converted it into a knuckle duster which would be worn as a decorative ring, but when the nose is removed a sharpened spike lies beneath
giving this weapon a surprise like a jack in a box.
