Doctor Who: Cybermen gun

[Roughneckone]

It wasn't really ready to be pressed, but the table was already set up, and I just could not help myself.
Well I'm very happy with how she turned out, I had it with me today at the east coast prop party but know one knew what it was. I need to show this thing to some "Who" fans and get their response. If you know of a forum that has a lot of Dr Who fans please let me know.

I have to say it looks great finished :eek, real nice job :thumbsup.

My only minor thought looking at it is that the fins on the top (the ones above the trigger) need to be spaced out a little further apart.

Apart from that it looks pretty spot on thumbsupthumbsup.

Try these Dr Who sites out they will definitely recognise the weapon -

Thank you so much every body. There are a few small problems with the proportions, but seeing as my table saw burned up earlier this month there is nothing I can do about it at this time. I'll have to come back to this item at a later date.

As I said, apart from the (very minor) fins problem it looks pretty good to me as is!

Its fairly difficult to size/scale a prop from photos, I think you have done a teriffic job, and the finished vac form is very cool indeed.
If you paraded it in front of us hardcore Who proppers over here in the U.K. , you certainly wouldnt get nit picked, so pat yourself on the back. Its instantly recognisable as preacher gun.

There are only few who prop websites over here, try http://whoprops.proboards.com/index.cgi

No one in the who world is as picky as the Garrison people are over their Star bores props, if it looks good do it!!!!

In fact Id love a pair of presses myself to add to my who guns .

Well done.

Thank you I'll give that a try. thumbsup:thumbsup

Inspired by MrNotWrongs work , and using Damster and Clanger 68`s photos as refrence,
I decided to build the huge Gun Rose uses in the episode "stolen earth".
This is a Preacher gun like MrNotWrongs but with extra additions shown in Clangers pictures.

I started by printing out some of Damsters photos , and using a picture of Rose holding the gun , and scaling it against my wife who is the same height as Billie Piper, I camu up with a pencil drawing that I cut out to use as a template for the profile.

I transfered this to a piece of MDF to use as the backbone of the piece.

I then used varying thicknesses of MDF to build up the profile and details.

Then I just continued with the mdf, continually comparing it to the photos on previous pages of this thread and adjusting dimensions as I went along .

Plenty auto filler was used , both as quick setting glue and as filler.

Basically I used the tools and experience from making my Dalek to allow this build to happen.

Its currently finished except for the side decal and stencilled number on the stock.

 

[CatfoodRob]

Ive built a display stand for it , but still havent got around to the side decal ...

And a picture of it with my Daleks in Manhatten tommy gun.

 

[Risu]

That's really impressive, both of them are. I wish I had the tools to do stuff like this.

 

[Roughneckone]

That's a really beautiful piece, you should be very proud of it. :thumbsup

00MrNotWrong00 has kindly gifted me with a copy of his Preacher gun and I will (in the fullness of time) add the Rose modifications to it, hope mine will come out half as good as the one you have built.

I'm really impressed with your gun CatfoodRob! Glad you found my pics useful! It makes the time I spent leaning awkwardly over a display cabinet embarrassing my girlfriend well worth it! :lol

 

[wizardofflight]

Both these builds are fantastic! Thank you for showing them off. I may have to give one a try.

Does anyone know where I can find some reference pics of the Daleks in Manhatten tommy gun? It is just too cool.

These big Dr Who guns are SO cool to play with ..Im suprised more of the American RPFers dont have a go at them .
We had a prop party at a DrWho event recently here in the U.K. and we had quite a few Dr Who guns present. I had my BFG and tommy gun , Birdie had his bolt gun and torchwood guns, and another guy (not a member here) had the Ice Gun that Rose uses in the ep "Girl in the Fireplace"
Trouble is, the display was that mobbed by spectators all weekend, that I dont think we got any photos...
