Sky Captain Atomic Disintegrator Pistol

Just recieved the one I bought from eBay from Wilco Models. I'm liking it so far. 2 pieces, a fair amount of work to do but should build up into a cool replica. Here's my idea. Do we have anyone here who could make up a small, I mean really small pc board that when activated by a trigger would play the sound effect from the movie> I'd sure love to have my pistol sound real.....I know I didn't describe what I'm after very well but if anyone has any ideas I can PM them and we can discuss it further.

Thanks
Steve

Reelprops does custom sound boards, send him a Pm

How is this project going? Would be awesome if you could add sound.

Does anyone know if anyone is making (or still stocking) a kit of this pistol?

I had considered scratch building this prop, but after getting the small scaled chritmas ornimate of this prop, and seeing the structure wasn't cylindical (wider from the top view than the side view), and watching the scene with the disintegrator a number of times and determinig the ornimate was correct, I had to pause and rethink how to make this.

Unfortunately, I haven't been back to it since.

Which Christmas ornament used to the gun?
I quite liked the film and especially liked the Retro Atomic pistol used.

I'm not sure when, but shortly after the movie was released, there had been some merchandise connected to it. An ornament of the diintegrator gun had been one of these items.

Pictured here as well. They also made one of eth flying robot ships.

Yep. I have the ornament too and was looking to avoid sculpting a full-sized replica. But I think that's where I'm headed. Thanks, guys.

There are still some good pics on the propstore site if anyone's interested in good reference (or just to see that squashed look BAK55 mentioned).

Thanks for the link.
This wouldn't be too difficult a prop to scratchbuild as long as there were some decent measurments.

you can get the flying robot ship and the Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow sculpted pin from tfaw.com for about 14 usd plus shiping. thay look great for the price.

Loved that movie. Cool to see some interest in props from it.
