Just trim the top with a knife and fill it with putty. What's the brand name of the product? I assume you got it from a dollar store or something.

Oh my dear *****. This is exquisite. How much machining experience do you have?

GIS has failed me. Does anyone have shots of the Male Bag from Home Improvement, so I can add it to my list of projects that I'll never get to?

The shirts are cool, but what about the sonic drill?

I think what increased the cost of the project was the fact that I budgeted for extra materials in order to allow for mistakes. Thanks for your help! Now all I really have to do is wait for my girlfriend to return the money she owes me.

I'm discussing the prop with my friend, who is now a potential client. The price of all the parts is about $117! I have a lot of plywood lying around, and some of it is subfloor grade. Could I use that in place of the MDF to help bring the price down? (If I ever get up the cash to build this...

Thank you! I haven't built anything in a while now, so I probably don't even have any skill left. (Employment is scarce around here. I was lucky to find a seasonal job!) Anyway, I noticed the link a little before you replied. I couldn't help but think, "Man, my observational skills suck!"...

I can't seem to find a link to the plans you used. It's driving me crazy! I really want to build this gun!

LOL, it seems I made a mistake. Mr. Davis worked on the special editions of the Star Wars movies in the '90's and was added to the original credits because they are viewed as the same films. No matter...he still worked on a bunch of cool stuff! Check out his IMDB page.

For those who are curious, Fon is credited with working on The Return of the Jedi. He was born in Saigon, Vietnam in 1970- meaning he was only 13 when the film was released!

Fon Davis, a former ILM employee and friend to Mythbuster Grant Imahara, is starting a new series called MORAV. The series explores the human condition in an age of robotic warfare. Most work is being done in-camera with models! Please help if you can by visiting his Kickstarter page...

This is absolutely incredible. I would love to see more threads like these- some of them are lacking in detail.

Mad Mod's tin soldiers from Teen Titans.

:eek You have WHAT?!

I was waiting for something like this! There are lots of original weapons ideas knocking around my hard drive, so I'll dig one of those up. Now all I need is a camera to snap pictures with, LOL...
