Hi everyone 
,
For my new project, I'd like to get into Naboo detonator replicas.
On the one hand the detonator of the security forces of Padme.
On the other hand the smaller Gungan Booma (15cm/6”).
Regarding the security forces detonator, the prototype is already well advanced. The 3D model was done by eethan, it's based on the Propstore sale photos and so the shape is super accurate (the shapes on the ball aren't perfectly symmetrical and that's respected in the model). The idea is to offer a finished and painted version. You can see the first test below. They will be offered in cast resin in rotocast and coldcast metal powder. They will be supplied with the belt clip.
The price should be around 150€ (painted and with the belt clip) + shipping
Gungan boomas, at the moment it's just an idea I'd really like to get into, but I'm afraid there wouldn’t be enough interest. So if there were enough people who might be interested I could make a prototype.
My idea, after a little thought, would be to have a ball about 15cm with an empty center containing a dichroic film to represent energy. The outer shell would be cast in blue resin. You can see the wanted idea on the instagram of the super artist Ktoctopus with its iridescent dices:
In the video, the film is cast into the resin, but for the Gungan energy balls, I would like it not to be too heavy, hence the idea of the hollow center (it's energy anyway ). Otherwise the ball cast in full would weigh around 2kg (4.409 lb)
For the price, I would like to be in the same range as the security force detonators, but without a prototype it is still difficult for me to calculate it.
If you are interested in either of the projects, do not hesitate to tell me in the comments. For the detonators it will help me to know the quantity of material that I have to order. And for the Boomas, to know if I can invest myself in the project (please like this project, because I want to do a run so much…)
Now here are some references and pictures:
