Hey all,
Already had a thread over at the RPF, but figured there may also be some interest in the build process here.
The first batch of the final prototypes is being hand-finished, sealed, and painted as I type this. Each was hand sanded, filled, and then epoxy coated for this set only. (and the set to be molded and cast)
Check out the RPF thread for details on how this replica was painstakingly 3D modeled. This was all done with the intention of scaling the lights down to 50% (which is done) to make a kit for my JPJeep event displays (put a 'fence' around the vehicle to keep fans from touching at certain gatherings). However, the below are all 100% scale, and true in almost every way to the originals, minus a few watermark elements that no one would ever notice but me (to spot recasters). I planned to decorate my garage bays with these full-scale versions.
For the moment, here's some pics of the final steps before they're finished:
Lockrings after sanding, filling, more sanding, and even more sanding and filling on the left, and on the right after epoxy coating and more sanding, and two coats of filler-primer:
Base bodies after filling and initial epoxy coat:
Lockring after additional sanding and 1st coat of paint (still some finish to do)

These are looking great brother. I got one of the Props from Universal Studios, so when it arrives I can send you some pictures if you want to see anything / details in depth If you haven't yet.
I might have to get some of these from you as well
