Re: DON'T PUSH THIS BUTTON: Baby Groot detonator project UPDATE 5/22 FIRST PROTOTYPE

Awesome !!!

Nice!

This looked great to start with, but with every new set of pictures it blows the previous one out of the water. Great job! :clap

Thanks for the kind words, everyone. This has been one of my most fun and exciting customs. I can't wait to work out the remaining details so I can get working on actual production for you guys. Finishing it up will also allow me to formulate some pricing finally.

That thing is sooo cool!!!! Will both lights be able to light up? Forgot which one lit up in the movie.

Thanks so much! I'm not sure about the light up buttons...What does everyone think? One or both?

Alright, guys, I think I have the batteries figured out!

Proof of concept using real glass bulbs. I have some plastic bulbs on order to try and minimize breakage issues and to make it easier to light, but these just look fantastic as a first trial.

I also noticed while I was rewatching this today, the death button has a crack in it

If I recall correctly it's only cracked after Groot is freed, not before?

Yeah I realize I put two non cracked buttons on there. I remember the general consensus is that people want the one button cracked? I'll be checking the blu Ray soon to confirm the exact look.

Thank you that's very nice

We're nearing the final prototype for this!!! I am working on some techniques to get the Annulax batteries to look like there is a helix inside. I will also try to get some better photos as the batteries are not showing up nearly as lit up as they do in real life.

Updated Annulax batteries!

The top battery is with clear "DNA" whereas the bottom I made it frosted. I think the frosted clearly looks best.

Finalizing last pieces and details before the prototype is finished...

These are the little decorative end caps on the Annulax batteries, ready for printing.

Also, I'll mention again, there is some REALLY messy stuff going on with the batteries due to my attempts at quick prototyping with hot glue. Final batteries will be MUCH cleaner (and in fact I am already working on a second set of batteries that will be finished as if final product).
