Chewbacca’s Bowcaster from Star Wars. This is the second time I’ve built this piece but I’m so stoked with how this iteration turned out! I think it’s the closest I’ve gotten to the original prop while still adding some fun alterations like the ash hardwood body stained with createxcolors and programmed LEDs and battery built into the scopes for some added movement. The Bowcaster has gone through a few iterations throughout the years and I added design elements from each into this piece.
