Hi, I'm currently researching a project i've been thinking about doing for a while however I've run into a bit of a brick wall.
Basically what i want to make is a Nuka Cola Bottle with a miniature replica of the fallout 4 Prydwen inside.
For this project i am in need of a transparant Fallout 4 Nuka Cola bottle now to my knowledge no one has made a glass version of this bottle yet. All i've seen are solid 3d printed bottles or casts of that. I am willing to make one myself but i dont really know how. I dont care if it's actually made of glass although that would be the ideal version. so long as the end result looks like glass i'd be happy.
So i am looking for some advice on how to best go about making one.
I've been thinking of making a silicon mold and slosh casting it in clear resin (if thats even possible) but i have no idea what the result would be. my previous attempts with resin ended riddled with bubbles. and that was with opaque resin.
Another idea i had was making a hard 2 part mold and heating up a smaller transparant plastic bottle sandwiching it inside the mold and then blowing pressurized air into it. forcing the soft bottle into the mould shape.
3d printing the bottle in transparant material will likely not be transparant enough.
my last resort would be learning how to blow glass and try to make an actual glass one myself. but i dont have access to the facilities to do that or someone to teach me.
Of course if there is a server that i am unaware of that can make me a glass or plastic nuka cola bottle that would be great as well. i'm willing to shell out some cash if such a service exist however my google fu seems to fail me
So i am looking for some advice. does anyone have any idea how i can best proceed,
I'd be grateful for any tips/tricks or suggestions you might have.
