Interest Dune Thumper in Metal

[Jediguy]

My team and I have sorted out some accurate thumper 3D files. Would anyone be interested in metal thumpers? Probably machined in aluminium.

That would be awesome! I've wanted one since I first read the books in the 80's. I think, even for it's flaws, the production design on the new Dune movies is brilliant!!!

Metal will likely be out of my price range, but a resin kit is very appealing to me!

This I can do for you easily. Let me work out the costs and we can do a run.

Sounds awesome! Definitely interested!

A few questions:

• Which version of the thumper are you going to do? The 1984 version or the new one?
• Is it going to have moving parts?
• Will it mimic the action of the thumper as seen in the movie with electronics?

Thanks for asking.

-The new one.

-Basically open or closed position. This props more for display.

-No because it's doubtful we will get enough interest to recoup the costs involved.

I would be interested in either aluminum or resin as well! Been waiting for someone to make a good replica of this.

Will it be made hollow so we can add the movement with a linear servo and an Arduino?

Evetime I see this title I wonder why Thumper would be made in metal:
