Rubber Jango Fett Westar-34 Blasters - Praetorian Blasters

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.
 
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.
 
Yeah. The problem is the paint is complicated BUT these blasters really aren't that flexible. You really just need a paint that will stick to the rubber.
Man I would love to get my hands on a set of these. There is definitely a lack of Jango blasters in the market right now and a lot of in-progress Jango builds that I am seeing on Instagram, Facebook and TikTok. I think that these would be a hit despite the lack of activity on this post. Unfortunately TheDentedHelmet isn't as active as it used to be so this thread might not be a good gauge on the interest level.
