Hit the attachment button and look for the file, then attach, and you should get it
So i decided to finish the rest of the gun..i want to make it motorized..but i would need to make it with pvc maybe unless i can fiberglass this one n will get really hard..but anyways i went to Walmart and found these 5/8 craft stocks for 95 cents each..i will trim them down but hers a rough estimate of how it will look..beats pepping the barrels....i want to finish it after I'm done with whole armor i week try the guns again.. Ill finish the details later... If you never pepped this gun before ours kinds odd cool it actually rotates up n down and side to side and right to left...i edit this added another picture here out is fixed now i have to trim the extra..i will try to resin parts this weekend...

"my friends call it uncle gazpacho or puff the magic dragon"Badass, when we finish our armor, what can we use for the undersuit? I have some ideas but not sure, the gun is great, im going to put a rotation dummy camera in my predator cannon, mAybe with uncle gazpacho will look cool too
Thanks....feels great coming from one of the great onesSTEALTH said:
Well i haven't done much cutting..My index finger hurts..lol..well I'm almost done with one hand...put it on a glove that i was thinking of using..they are not that great looking but they will look better after some resin once they are aligned right..my idea is something like the helmet glue it Together then do the resin and bondo then cut them apart..lots of work but i think that's the way to go..hers some pictures..also i might use some hot glue to build up the ridges or lines inside the glove where you can see black..
Ps.....i think this is the part i want so into..to top it of i have to do the other hand..lol
Nice progress, i did the same with my helmet, glued all togheter then cut the pieces out after resined the whole thing, damn seeing all those folds .........and i have to do them too
I think it's easier to do the fingers..well the tips without the numbers that way you get to see the flaps..i cut the tiny flaps off...is easier to glue...I'm going to try that on the next hand......
Looking great! Still not sure when I'm doing the gloves. Probably nearer the end. Great progress Don.
Working on ideas for the boots too!
M
so heres how my first hand came put its not perfect but when i put it together it will look better..I have a question for those who are still following this thread does the hand have to be glued together..upper and lower? The reason i asked its that it does fit right but if i want to slide my hand in or out it wont fit. would i have to trim the edges?...that's with out the glove so I'm thinking is going to be a tighter fit with the gloves...i will try to post some pictures tomorrow i only took one now
I am in Awe at this build, great job, I cannot wait to see the whole completed suit!
Im finishing my chest/back right now, im glad i used 1.64 scale it looks perfect now, its raining like hell and i dont think i can glass it today
Looking great Don! Your minigun is looking awesome. You're way braver than I am. I ordered a partial minigun kit from wondersquid (just the armature and the barrel spacers) and I'm building the minigun motor myself. I used 3/4" PVC from the hardware store cut down into 12" sections. Once I get back on my feet it should be one of the first things I get done. Good luck on motorizing it!

Those look good; I'm making mine that snaps in half; it is easier to put on and secure it; but I was looking at the gloves surreal has; they use a different type of foam and they look comfortable. One idea is attach the upper part to the glove and fingers and leave the palm removable...that may help; also make them a little bigger that way when you glass them they still fit...
Thanks..i posted more pictures not sure why they didn't show...i still need a little piece but was excited to share..zanebw01 said:
