A few years back i made my first attempt at a replica prop. A GB2 Slime blower. knowing little about building props and with minimal tools and supplies mostly bought at home depot and other hardware stores i was able to make a pretty kick ass Slime Blower. Here's how it started off. PVC pipe, quick crete tube some acrylic domes and a few solar garden lights.
To give the domes some strength i filled them with foam, this also locked the mounting spikes for the garden spotlights in. A mixture of PVC plumbing parts, electrical junction boxes, flexible wire covers, and furnace exhaust pipes rounded out the rest of the parts.
Not the best job but some bondo to get rid of the lip where the domes meet the ends of the tubes. Then a paint job over it. I found some non-skid safety tape with a pretty spot on design and used it on the main tank.
A few pieces of MDF board and some metal brackets hold the side tanks and boxes to the Alice frame. The main tank was bolted and glued in place.
Finished product:
