Roman Props Thermal Detonator

After seeing this I think I might have to get it now. Question is to no go for the clean or weathered.

Edit: ended up ordering the clean version as that is the one my daughter wanted.

Funny how our brain works, and misguide us. I recalled it being a perfectly ‘closed’ round sphere that poped open separating the hemispheres in 2 revealing the 3 leds, while sliding back the top slider activated the red led , and the arming sequence. I was wrong. Tricks our minds play.

Well I'll go to the foot of our stairs! If anyone had asked I would have said the same thing.. In fact, its the first thing it would have checked for. Just called up the scene on YouTube. Well I never
 
I just picked mine from the post office. Roman did it once again! This thing is so beautiful!

The factory made weathering is really nice looking but it really does start chipping off pretty easily. (Hey, free extra weathering!) I just did clear coat to protect it. Also weathering of the mid-section is a must.

Mine was supposed to be delivered today but my lazy post office sucks. They felt like not delivering it and marked it as delivery location not accessible so delivery not made which is a lie. I was home all day and no roads were blocked off.and our house was fully accessible. This is like the 10th time they have pulled this and I have complained multiple times to the post master. Wish he would get fired as he could care less about his employees not doing their job
 
This was actually my first attempt to weather a prop. But I think it turned out okay. Maybe a bit lighter weathering would have been more subtle looking but it doesn't look that hard for naked eye. I used black, brown and beige for the dirt and orange for bits of rust.

Finally arrived today! (I don't think they rush things down in London) :sleep:

Smaller than expected. Not disappointed at all, just a little surprised. The cup holder I use to temporarily hold my training remote is too big for it so I'll have to look for a different stand.
 
Damn that is really nice. I had been looking at possibly getting a thermal detonator, mostly searching on etsy. Nothing comes remotely close to Roman's.

KR's version is VERY good too.

Oh that's nice too. I think I'd go for Roman's though as it's already finished. It's about the same price for both if you get all the electronic components needed for KR's kit.

Actually, I think the KR would cost more.
