Depends on where you are.. and it'll be fairy lightweight... but yeah.. not a great time for shipping costs lollove this prop so much. Wish shipping costs weren't so high. Shipping to me would probably be killer
Sorry! Haven't even had time to update this with better pics of the other 6 I made!! So there are a few little greeble changes.. but I'd say 95% accurate.. especially with the overall dimensions and form. I worked on Avatar 2 for a year at Weta with the original screen used one hanging over my desk.. So lots of reference images were takenjust found this thread
only question I have is, how accurate is yours compared to the one released by Weta in 2010?
When I get a second to track down photos I'll post more of the other 7 I madeI can't stop staring
Really interested... are you still making these? How do I order?Hey all!
After 5 years abroad building props for movies, I am home and looking to make some cool stuff!
I will be doing an extremely limited run of District 9 Arc Generators. They will be full hero film quality: 900 mm long (movie scale), SLA printed for maximum detail, and the casts themselves will come from a matrix mold, and feature a brushed-skin coat (Smooth-On), fibre reinforcement with West Systems epoxy, and a semi-rigid final inner coat (Smooth-On). They will require minimal cleanup, and will be movie-quality durable. High-quality paint jobs will be available.
RAW CAST- $1050 CAD (Smooth-On prices + takes longer than expected with the set times of the products I'm usin getting clean and strong casts though!!)
CLEANUP AND PAINT- $975 CAD
Wall or Desktop Display Stand looks like rusted metal/rubble/prawn tech - $235 CAD (est)
The MASTER is done and I am building the matrix mold now. Delivery est. Mar-Apr 2022
More pictures to come! I'm excited to paint one of these beauties!]

UPDATE!
First casts are a success! First order nearly painted, More units coming soon. Have I fulfill existing orders but pre-reserve a spot now as I won't be doing a lot of these! It may be the last tie you'll get one this accurate for a while...
UPDATE 2
Added pictures of the raw cast for those ordering unpainted. I've worked out most of the kinks in the gelcoat so you should get very little in the way of surface issues , no soft spots, just the mold line and some minimal flash (just cleaned with my fingers for those pics).
This is the main reason for the larger price tag on the casts.. it's big.. and I'm laying down 4x brush on layers per side plus a rotocast seam.
