hopefully this is the correct thread, and if not im sure the mods will move me to the correct queue
so i am still pretty new to 1/6th scale diorama props and the materials that are used to make them so noob alert. anyways here we go with my question.
I want to take this
and turn it into a energy container for my 1/6 scale bounty hunters for a diorama i want to build for them.
My thought process is to model the bumps and grooves on the top and bottom halves with super sculpey
(kind of like of this
and/or 
make a mold and resin cast the lid and bottom halves, then cut off the bits (corner bits, side armoring, handles) and then cast those in a sprue style so it can be kind of like a kit. i want to make five boxes total, so i figured that would be the easiest way to make multiple parts and then just glue them to the containers i have, then light, paint and voila! i have little lite containers to dress up the set. I'm also still toying with the idea of having the lid split open from the middle, which means i have to figure out inside hinges, i love making things harder for myself.
as a PS i am going to use these little guys i have been collecting from my GF for the canisters that fit inside.
a little more like this 
thanks again for any insight on where to start, i wanted to sculpt the pieces out of sculpey then throw them in the oven and then just cast those. But when i made a corner piece it wouldn't come off the damn container so i figured i am just going to have to cast them on the thing.
