It's amazing what you can make from Poof Balls

I basically painted it blue, gave it a wood circle, and a white frayed wire and viola: the bombs from Legend of Zelda.

Wow Great job you are going to SBPLI regional right? If so bring it and show people because I think many people would be interested in seeing it in person. I know I would like to have a look at it...very nice job there

or dont bring it and not cause a bomb scare.

probably not a good idea to bring it. even though it's obviously not real to those who know what it really is, it could be real to someone else.

Re: It's amazing what you can make from Poof Balls

its so ridiculously fake I cant see anyone thinking of it as a real bomb.
<edit> I don't believe it would cause any sort of panic. maybe a few more opinions on this would be nice but I showed it to my brother who has never played any Zelda games and he knew it was fake instantly.

Yeah, as fun as it would be to bring it, it would definatley cause an uproar, but don't worry, I have a plan with the Poof Balls that will still be entertaining.

And hey, if the airport puts pictures of bombs like these on their posters, then they must surley consider it a threat still.

yes, it's obviously fake.. but think of it this way:
Hallow a poof ball out, fill it with ... stuff. . . and there you have it, a real bomb, that looks completely fake.

Don't forget that some schools (and places) have a zero tolerence policy. Most of the trips the teams make to these comps count as class trips in which the school's rules will apply during these trips. It only takes one person to complain.

Not to rain on your parade but I just wanted to make sure people are aware of that if they think of copying it. I personally think it's neat and you're the first one's I've seen do that to a puff ball.

Re: It's amazing what you can make from Poof Balls

One thing has been bothering me and it could have been my TV but, weren't the bombs a darker blue?

Yeah, but I only had so many paints in my shop class that work on porous surfaces.

Re: It's amazing what you can make from Poof Balls

Maybe you should ask your mentors and such to see what their opinion is on whether you should bring it in or not. I guess if you really are nervous about it then you should leave it because you don't need to worry about something like that at the competition.
either way Its really cool

Re: It's amazing what you can make from Poof Balls

In light of recent news events one would think that you could make something else "...amazing...from Poof Balls". I think this thread should just end quietly here....
