Hello all,
I have purchased myself a Disney thermal detonator hot potato game as a substitute for the prop. Photo below for those that haven't seen it:
I bought it mainly because it only cost $35.00 and it's the correct size with working electronics. My questions is I had a thought to spray it like the Master Replica version but the "as first built" again because I think it looks nice and it would seem easier by comparison than doing a weathered version:
The difficult bit being the chrome look on plastic. I read some articles on getting the Alclad 2 chrome and spraying it with my model gun as I read that will produce the best looking chrome effect I'm after but I wanted to ask any modelers or prop makers on this forum if they have tried Alclad 2? Or if anyone had a better suggestion for getting the chrome look as above?
If it comes out good I will get a display stand and a plaque done up as above for display . Look forward to hearing some thoughts.
