Cosmic Rod Starman Prop help

[angelbolt]

Hi, everyone

I'm planning on making Starman's Cosmic Staff
And would like know what i need to create one as
A prop for cosplaying and the correct Size & shape
for the Top piece. I'm aware that the staff is either Gold
or Bronze in colour.

Please & Thank you

That's a great costume choice! I'd take a nose in local hardware stores for random things your can piece together. Maybe start off with a pole/wooden staff and adapt? Use foam and pva, clay or polymorph plastic to mould the detail and then spraypaint? You can get some really good metallic sprays!
