Figrin D´an kloo horn 1:1 UPDATE!!!!

[thawn_es]

After my Cantina band member mask and hands I have decided to start with the instruments.
And of course the first is the kloo horn!!!
I started with the design in 3D using Maya and then 3D printer to make the master of the parts...
My intention is make silicone molds and a limited number of copies for sale in 2 options: as a kit or full built and painted!
IT IS HUGE!!! ( 93cm long)
Here we go....

This should be an interesting project. Sounds pretty kloo... I mean cool.

Re: Figrin D´an kloo horn 1:1

Are you going to provide casts of this

 

[megajelly]

How long is a Kloo Horn supposed to be? Wookiepedia says about 1.5m!! What?

Just curious what approximate lengths most cosplayers use.

Thanks!

hi meggajelly!
My Kloo is about 98cm long...

 

[Space In Vader]

mine is 120 cm standing. But if the tube with the mouthpiece would not be curved but in a straight line (provided that the tube would be totally flexible) I think 150 cm would be a suitable lenght specification.

... and when I look at this picture, I dare to say that even my 120 cm kloo horn looks a little bit tiny. So 150 cm without taking the flexible tube into account seems to be reasonable to me:

Nice job.

I did one of these too but decided to stain it instead of giving it a metal look. Here is my build thread: https://www.therpf.com/showthread.php?t=278556

Hi these pictures are amazing. I don’t suppose you would consider selling a copy of the 3D files you used for this build? I am looking to build a kloo horn myself. I am in the UK. Thanks, Guy

Hi,
acutally no 3D printer was used to build this kloo-horn.
I used pipes, wood, foam, rubber rings and some greeblies.
You can find some pics of the making here: https://vaderbase.com/bith.html

If you want to know specs or details, drop me a line- I would be happy to provide help.

 

[Nimrod]

Thanks for getting back to me. I will continue to pursue the 3d option for now but might well come back to you if I dont succeed!. Thanks again, Guy

Hello I really like this build from a few years ago. I am interested in putting together a Kloo Horn myself. I am based in the UK. Would you consider selling the 3d files (just for my personal use - not to use to make and sell the item)?
Many thanks, Guy
