Aliens hand Welder - 3D printed

[Buissonland]

Hi there,
With the recent auction from Propstore, we had the chance to get some great close up pictures of the real prop.
So I decide to make my own 3d model and print it based on those references.
I tryied to be as accurate as possible with my knowledge.

So here, I'll post some updates on my build !
Stay tuned Alien-fans !

Here is my 3D model :

Let's the build begin :

Stay tuned for updates !

Very very nice. What software did you use to model it with ?

Beautifully made: Pro-Job realizing an obscure prop

 

[Jediguy]

that is amazing work!

 

[Triin]

Nice !!! Now to put a butane nozzle on it and make it work!! ( not really but wishful thinking!! )

Final pictures of the project !
I'm really happy with the result. I'll probably add a little weight to make it feel more real...

I'm considering selling this one.... but now, I'm hesitating !

Beautiful work.

This is a beautiful replica! The painting and weathering is gorgeous.It looks completely real. Any chance that you might consider selling the STL files in the future, do you think?

You beat me to it! Admittedly, I've been dragging my heals on this one a bit, but you did an amazing job I love it!

I just found this thread. Nicely done! Is this the same one that is being offered on eBay? I mean are you selling these kits on eBay? I considered picking one up there.
