Mar 31 2008Bronze Boba Fett PEZ Dispenser Looks Niiice
Scott, a man who loves both fruit flavored sugar cubes and Star Wars, cast a Boba Fett PEZ dispenser in bronze.
I made this using the lost wax casting process with an organic burnout. The material is silicon bronze. The original sleeve for the Pez broke, so I cannibalize dparts from another dispenser: Simba from the Lion King. The hole in the body resulted from an incomplete casting of the thin part; probably could have had better sprue placement. I like the results, though. The replacement sleeve was modified for the "battle scar" effect, revealing the Pez. Finishing was minimal, with a pretty standard bronze patina.
Great job, Scott. And you were right about the battle scar, that turned out pretty awesome. Now you'll always know when you're running low on on your sugar fix. Speaking of fixes *shoots 50cc's of granulated sugar into arm* Ahhhh, that's the stuff. Wait, something's not right. *reads box* Iodized salt! Not again.
Several more pictures of Boba PEZ after the jump.
Thanks to Scott, the man, myth, and legend behind the dispenser, for the tip.

#1 & #2: jealous?
Believe it or not, while he may have been bored, he did something productive and creative (DIY). And who cares if he's getting laid. Married people don't get laid a lot of times, and few make fun of them for it. If getting laid is the ultimate experience or reward for you, then you have much to learn about life.
Granted getting laid is amazing, but the way you said it makes you sound like an immature high schooler.
I actually like and appreciate what this guy did, good job!

I'd like to take credit for this seeing as we both have the same name but that would depend heavily on 3 and what she (?) looks like.
Oh who am I kidding, I'd have sex with a spare shoe.

I'm not a fan of Star Wars. Or Pez, really. But that thing is pretty damn cool.

I am a PEZ addict and that is freaking sweet. If anyone knows the artist and would tell him I'm interested in one, that would cool. Cause come on, wouldn't you be the coolest kid on the block with a dispenser of pure ADD that could be used to knock another kid out?
