This is the first of a few "scale" prop builds that I've recently finished. These do not contain kit parts but thought I'd share in case any were interested.
My interest is classic Sci-Fi. While I like the popular laser weapons as much as anyone, I really enjoy an opportunity to build an obscure prop. Although only used once (but like most BSG props, reused in Buck Rogers) and on screen for just a few moments, when I spotted this prop from Battlestar Galactica's "The Young Lords," it immediately went on the list.
The bomb has a switch and internal lighting source. The original prop was probably held together with hot glue but I wanted to make something a bit more durable.
First step was to identify the canister which turned out to be a Swiss made aluminum water bottle.
