Ok, let's brake this sucker down. I don't have any good pics of the Naboo version yet, so let's start with this pic of Watto's version. (it's the VD pic, I just blew it up, cleared away some of the other junk on the page, and numbered some parts)
1. As they say at POSW this dish is most likely just a hemispheric Dom. You can get these from plastruct, but I'm just going to see what I can dig up around here. (this part seems to be on both versions)
2. POSW says this part of the antenna is a casting from one of those nifty little Naboo com links. I have a metal one of those coms, but I think I'll probably rig something up, out of hardware parts. (this part seems to be on both versions)
3. Some call this the "Mohawk". I have know idea what it's made of, but I kind of get the feeling that it's a found object. Since I'm doing the other version, it's not my problem. lol Just kidding, if I find anything out about it, I'll pass it on.
4. POSW says these are most likely those black, tubes, you find in the automotive section, or places like Radio shack, painted black. It dose look that way, but as I mentioned before, I may do metal ones. (this part seems to be on both versions)
5. These kind of look like those round LED covers, like you see on the ESB Hoth Rebel troops, rank badges. Does anyone know where to get these? (this part seems to be on both versions)
6. I know I've seen these somewhere before, but I just can't place them. It seems like they were something that goes on your car. like maybe those things that make noise to keep dear away wall your driving, or something. Any thoughts? (this part seems to be on both versions)
7. I have know idea what this yellow bracket thingy holding the R2 holoprojector is. Again, any thoughts?
8. R2 Holoprojector. (see POSW, for info on the actual found part)
9. These little things aren't on my "action packer", but they may be part of the accurate one. They may have been added. They look to me, to be either small switches, or some kind of screws, or something. (this part seems to be on both versions)
10. Just mask these stripes off before painting it yellow, to get this effect. ( they didn't do a very good job, so don't worry if yours is off a bit.
)
11. This may be Chrome tape, or sheet metal. I think other metallic spots on this prop are done with chrome tape, but this section, because it has raised lettering under it, makes me think it's either sheet metal, or they would have to have ground/sanded off the text before using the tape. (this part seems to be on both versions)
12. Like POSW says, this is the same kind of circuit board you see on Watto's handheld datascreen. There's a pretty good shot of the back of Watto's pad in the VD so maybe those of you doing this version, could get them made up, or I'm sure you could just find some cool looking circuit board out of some piece of old junk laying around.
13. Chrome tape. ( I got mine at Wal-Mart for a few $, it's really cool stuff. )
14. POSW says "This version also has a piece in common with the grappling hook on the
Security S-5 Blaster. It's located on top between the pair of silver hoses. The part is a section cut from a resin casting of the grappling hook, originally made from a metal knurled ring with four woodruff keys glued on as fins. You could make one of these, but I have one of those laser tag versions of the gun, and we could do a cast of that part if we wanted to. (I don't think it's one the version I'm doing though.)
15. These may have been custom made, and I'm sure someone here could machine them for us, but I wouldn't rule out them being found items just yet. They kind of look like those large spark plugs. (plus the spark plugs are just a few $ for a set of 2.

Thoughts?
