Custom District 9 weapon - group build?

dropshipbob · 02-15-2010, 09:40 AM

So with all the recent news on Weta releasing D9 gun replicas, is anyone else interested in creating some custom weapons based on the film designs?

I've got some designs of my own in mind and I've started mining for parts, here's what I've got so far...

That last part is one of those circular bag dispensers from a diaper genie.

SO WHO'S ONBOARD WITH THIS??

Let's see what the creative minds here on the RPF can come up with, and at the same time, bring back one of the old traditions that made this board what it is today!

Yeah...good luck with that. I don't think we can talk about things like this, which we can't talk about anymore

Did you see what happened to the Wikkus I.D. thread?

G17RDY · 02-15-2010, 10:34 AM

Yeah, but it's not like we are profiteering from this

Im in.....sound's like it this may be quite good fun, off to plan something out now!!!

Moocricket-Perhaps I didn't make myself clear, this will be a CUSTOM build...not a recreation of anything seen on screen. I was hoping I could get some others to join in on building their own ideas.

Sorry, jumped the gun on ya! I do love the idea though, I just expected someone to put the kabash on it, simply because it mentioned District 9 build.

No problem.

Sounds like fun. Do it, do it!

yeah you could call it District 8

Scapey · 02-15-2010, 04:56 PM

Any chance of someone filling me on on what happened in "The Wikus ID thread" please?

Mike J. · 02-15-2010, 05:01 PM

Short answer: nothing.

Long answer: Weta politely requests that we do not sell unlicensed replicas from properties they hold licenses for

Hm.
I'd hoped they'd be OK with items they don't currently produce but I guess their hands must be tied lest they set a precedent.

I was so amped (is that word still used?) to get to work on this, I didn't have time to set up my light tent and gels and do a proper photo shoot.
