Rubber Jango Fett Westar-34 Blasters - Praetorian Blasters

[postmortem01]

Is there any interested in Jango Fett Westar-34 Blasters made of rubber? I just started working on my Jango costume again and was thinking that I don't want to carry around aluminum blasters. If I were to make a mold, would there be any interested in rubber blasters?

Ok. I have a 3D model that I would use to make the master. The concern I have is that people won't know how to paint them with a flexible chrome paint. Chrome finishes aren't that difficult (ie. Mandalorian's armor) but when it's on rubber, It's tricky. Rubber will flex and the paint needs to flex with it. Maybe it's something where we would paint the chrome finish on the entire blaster and people would need to mask and paint the brass and metallic silver grips themselves.

This is a chrome and candy test we did to show the high level of flexibility we're able to get out of our paints. This was painted a few weeks ago and it's still highly flexible with no signs of cracking or wrinkles.

That chrome finish in the video looks great.

I think that shipping the blasters with the flexible chome paint would be a great selling point! I would definitely prefer that, but wouldn't be opposed to painting them myself with the proper flexible paint.
