Answer 1

Hi fyi,

You might consider using Styrofoam sheathing like used on the outside of houses on a wood frame like suggested. http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/stor... Cheaper, lighter, and accepts paint easier.  For the detail on the front you could use thick sheets of foam that can be cut, milled, or shaved with cheap tools rather than those needed for metal.  Liquid Nail could be used to glue on the detailed pieces.  Use wooden dowels for the handle lookin' thing.  I am assuming this is for theatrical use rather than actually burnin' people up in it.  :)

Answer 2

It depends on what you are going to use it for.  The one in your picture looks like metal that is riveted at the seams.  You could build a basic frame out of wood and cover it with sheet metal.  s***w into the frame or rivet the seams.  

Answer 3
