Hi all, so I recently have delved into the world of aliens props a little bit, and while I don't have anything specific in mind, its one of those things that would be fun to make one day. One of the big things I've heard about is humbrol brown bess paint, something that was discontinued decades...

Damn, looks like you guys beat me massively to my project of trying to make a somewhat functional/ moving version of the map. I've had a crappy thingiverse model printed out in a couple parts for well over a year, not sure exactly when, but I had printed it in clear petg to allow for lighting...

So, I didn't want to remove the acrylic in the end, it seems to just be hot glued in and might even have some leds behind it, even though this specific one wasn't a light up version, but I don't want to risk damage or really tamper with the prop to keep it original. I've measured what I can...

I could also make a version which has the spikes all connected if the whole thing was going to be printed out in resin, or sintered nylon, I might be tempted to have one like that made for myself, but finishing it would probably be tough and I'm sure it would be expensive.

Hi all, so, this is a bit of a necro for sure, but I kind of forgot about this project. I got stuck trying to do the details on the front half of the baton in 123d design because of how limited it is. Well, I've recently started using fusion 360,and spent the last couple hours on this from...

I don't need to paint this, or at least I shouldn't need to, as it's basically just flat black, so dying the rubber or whatever it is I need to cast will probably have the desired effect, as long as it didn't come out glossy somehow. Interesting, if that can be colored that might work well as...

Thanks for the input guys, maybe I don't need as much as I thought to cast then, I'm just limited in the size that the distributor here has. Annoyingly email notifications didn't work for this post though hence the late reply which is annoying. I'll definitely have to look into glove...

Hey all, so a while back I posted progress on making a 3d model of the shock baton from ghost in the shell, however I did get a little stuck on it, and I also realized that for what I want to do, it would be a lot of work to clean up the print lines, and it also would probably feel quite...

Re: Ghost In The Shell Shock Baton Pictures/Measurement Refference Album + 3d model W That's all for today, looking into getting some sections printed to compare, unfortunately I don't think I'll be able to be as precise as I want, I am pretty OCD about this sort of thing, but then again this...

Re: Ghost In The Shell Shock Baton Pictures/Measurement Refference Album + 3d model W Got a tad more done during lunch, but I can't figure out how to mirror the whole object lol, I'll have to figure that out after work to get the other grip done.

Re: Ghost In The Shell Shock Baton Pictures/Measurement Refference Album. Well, it's pretty slow going but I'm figuring out tricks with this software that gives me results that are at least pretty close to what I need, I don't think I'll ever be able to exactly replicate the curves in the cut...

Hello all, so this kind of slipped my mind, but I got my first ever movie prop, a shock baton from ghost in the shell. Now, unfortunately I had wanted something else, and I kind of regret how much I paid for it, I wish I had gotten something with the hanka robotics logo but that was all way too...

Hey all, so after years (since 2013) I finally got an alright ish way to display my NECA portal gun, and it reminded me of some of the mods I wanted to do. The main thing would be adding circuitry with an lm317 and grabbing an input off the LED lighting I put in my shelves to power the gun, and...

what the **** $112, LOL, nobody is going to pay that, the alarm clock was $40 at most. Guess it was a good investment? XD

Hey all, don't know if this will come in handy for anyone, but when watching the (awesome) show almost human, I had cool moment where I recognized what they used for a prop exactly, because I have had one for quite a long time. It was a neat feeling. It's an ElectroHome model # CR916E I'm...
