I want to share with the RPF fan community my intention to offer a true screen accurate all aluminum Chewie Bowcaster from The Force Awakens. This is a project I been working for the past 18 months and is ready to become a reality. This Bowcaster prop is based on the Barnett Commando Crossbow used to design the original screen used prop and the one made by Prop Shop in Pinewood Studios for the production. I was very very lucky to acquire a Prop Shop Bowcaster and a Barnett Commando crossbow and use the latest 3D scanner technology to produce perfect flawless scans. The original screen used Bowcaster was made of 3D printed resin, aluminum bow, aluminum solid scopes and aluminum barrel and front sight. I am going to offer this beautiful prop entirely made of high grade aluminum, with hollow see through scopes, spincast pewter discs and knobs, and real sling/strap. The Bowcaster will be offered all painted, weathered and assembled, ready to display or cosplay. It will come with a custom base stand. A 3D printed Bowcaster was already made to check any issues and the first aluminum prototype will be machined in the next three weeks. This prop will be possible in cooperation of four local machine shops. There are already 6 people interested. The base paint coat will be CERAKOTE and then painted with the very same color gunmetal/gray color used on the original prop and hand weathered like the original. Here are some pictures of the parts already made. The last two parts to make are the aluminum crossbow frame and the scopes. I will be posting pictures of a full assembled unpainted Bowcaster before I have it painted, weathered and assembled. I am still calculating all the production costs, but the price range will be between $1,900.00 and $2,200.00. Since all the files are made and most of the parts were also made and tested, this run should go pretty smooth. I will add the names of the six people that already signed up to the run.
Depending of the number of people that sign up the production will be done is batches of 20 Bowcasters, since this will be a fully painted and assembled piece.
Thank you in advance,
Manny Romero
