Bomb Can US

Last crawled date: 4 years, 2 months ago

This is a remake of Turbostars Can Bomb to fit a US 12oz CAN,
I used Tinkercad and lengthened it to 138mm for this remix.
I used CURA to slice the file and printed 6 of them on my ENDER 3. All of them fit the US can perfectly.
To finish them I sanded with 120 grit on the sand mouse but didn't go crazy about removing all of the lines.
Primed with 3 coats of Krylon Colormaster primer
Sanded lightly with 400 grit
Sprayed a base coat of Krylon SATIN ITALIAN OLIVE on the body.
Sprayed a base coat of Krylon SATIN BURGUNDY on the lid
Taped of the center with painters tape and sprayed the yellow line using Krylon FARM AND IMPLEMENT John Deere Yellow.
Did some Acrylic aging using Burnt Umber and Burnt Sienna (Adam Savage has a video on how to do this)
Sprayed a clear KRYLON to lock it all down
Used some silver RUB N BUFF carefully on the sharp edges to give it the worn metal look.
Finally, I used a small amount of PX Marine Pro Epoxy mixed with EBAY glow powder and carefully laid the bomb on its side and filled the Trifoil with this epoxy mixture with a medicine syringe. It takes about 24 hours for the epoxy to cure then you flip it over and do the other side.
The glowing Trifoil completely blew my buddies away on our camping trip!
It seems like a lot but I did 6 at the same time so it was like an assembly line.
I hope you guys like it!
Thank you Turbostar for a great conversation piece!
