My company is going to have a May the Fourth happy hour. I volunteered to help turn our company bar into a more appropriate Star Wars Cantina. So, on a budget, I'm going to build the crazy canister and tubing structure you see behind the bartended in A New Hope.
I know all about those canisters being the Rolls Royce aircraft engine part, AND that they were also used for IG88's head. Sadly, thats not in my budget.
What is ... a trip the the Dollar Store. Each finished canister is build from a beach pail, a giant cheese ball container, and the metal shade from a small clamp on light. After lots of drilling. ... So. Much. Drilling. I glued and screwed everything together. I also added some additional greeblies on the surface I'm trying my best to honor the look of the original design seen in the film.
After a coat of primer, they are starting to look like something.
