I found myself inspired by Adam Savage building The Samaritan, and wanted to machine a gun-like object myself. However I'm not a machinist, and have no access to a machine shop. So I thought how about I design and build a gun for 3D printing, AS IF I were machining it? I chose Mal's gun, as it's...

The Silk trigger active return bolt laser pistol was a weapon owned by the character Rance Burgess, played by Frederic Lehne in the 13th episode of the single season of Joss Whedon's Firefly. Only one "hero" prop was made for the production as I understand it, custom machined parts making up...

Yes, I know, there's been LOTS of them, and it's not a prop I would normally have thought of making for myself, but its a commission for a friend, and I'm not a great one for metal working, turning, milling etc., so I took it on as a challenge. First job, disassemble to see what to do: Then...

Hey all! So i got these metal Replicas but the finish is terrible and just dark... any tips or the right color or some good paint tips to get them to the right look? thanks!!

I was wondering if this Alliance Prop weapon could be modeled and 3D printed? Since the Psycho Ballistics Silver Bullet LCD Paintball Gun with the rubber grips that it was created from is no longer available and getting harder to find, it occurred to me that maybe it could be printed already...

I've been working on my collection for a few years now and I'm always adding new items. Most of what's in my collection is scratch built. Full size 3D printed baby Groot I finished. Mal's gun from Firefly - 3D print. SE-14R blaster - scratch build with a couple 3D printed parts. E-11B...

Finally had the time to finish this one. The first time I had the idea about doing this replica was back in 2010, but it didn't get any further than the drawings. No it felt like the right time to finally get it done ^^ In the end and holding it in my hands I think it's a bit to large, but...

Hey guys. So I'm a big fan of Firefly, Serenity and the guns they wield, especially Jayne's guns. Already made myself a Boo... But the real beauty is of course Vera! "This is my most favourite gun..." Looked at a few options over the past few years, but nothing came together. That was...

I'm working on Malcolm's gun from Firefly made of EVA foam. I'm planning on coating it in plastidip when I'm done. I'm using blueprints from Punished Props. https://m.imgur.com/a/mcrnK

Update 8/21 - Ship tray start! And inquiry.... My hubby and I are making a kick-arse box for our Firefly game that HAPPENS to be filled with all sorts of goodies and props as the components holders. First up? Card deck holders. These are the furthest along, so I figure I'd show them off...

Howdo, Long time fan of the site, first time posting! So the story goes that my Mother has offered to make me a coat as she's taken to sewing in quite a big way. She has asked if there is any style I'd like and a Browncoat, a la Firefly, immediately sprung to mind along with Doc Brown's...

Hi, everyone I'm wondering if anyone one might have a tutorial or the like for what materials and/or steps it would take to modify or add to the casing of an airsoft gun. I'm wanting to build sci-fi guns with working parts, but I don't have access to real fire arms and airsoft is the next bast...

Okay, so I'm a massive fan of the firefly series and serenity film, I'm also fairly good with my hands especially working with reference and some sort of base (so I'm thinking revolver or pistol that suits the shape of Mals pistol). My question is, has anyone ever tried to build the pistol from...

Hey everyone, These models are the result of my long running quest to make a metal Mal pistol. I'm still plugging along with that project, but I thought some here may be interested in a resin parts kit. Here's a shot of all the components: And here's a shot with the parts roughly assembled...

My daughter wanted me to help her make a Kaylee Frye costume. So far we bought the coveralls, removed the sleeves, and one pocket. We then bleached the coveralls to make them look old, worn and faded. Sewed the seams on the arm holes, added the patches, asian script, and a trace blood stain...

I picked this coat up on ebay about a year ago. I can't find the original price of the coat. I don't know how accurate it is. I have searched and searched and still, I can't find anything. Thanks! -Zach

Hello all! It's been ages since anyone did a new Firefly prop that hasn't been replicated before. This is a kit I've been tinkering with for a while- a very iconic prop from "War Stories": Niska's "Torture Spider"! It can be displayed with arms extended or (manually) retracted. Or just...

Hey all, this build has been sitting on my computer for a while, I figured I'd finally post it. It's a little embarrassing at one point, but I ended up with a final product I'm really happy with! The first step was finding the lovely recreation known as Alice from joatrash (sp?), which was all...

Hey guys and gals, I host a YouTube channel and later this year we are having a Sci-Fi themed Family Feud battle. Toughest part, getting 100 legit poll question answers! Daunting task! I have come here for your help...I believe I am among the world of awesome nerds, yes? :) Here is the link to...

Hoping this is the right place to discuss this - but spotted this today https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1752543891/reliquary-own-a-piece-of-movie-history Which seems to be a capsule comprised of bits of screen used costumes? All seconds, or broken down parts I assume, but one thing they're...

Hello there! This is my first thread on the forum and it's about my first atempt at replicating a TV/movie prop. I decided to replicate the Model B (Mal's pistol from Firefly). I really love the design on that gun, it is futuristic enough and grounded on reality enough and (of course) it's...

I made this several years ago and it's getting a lot of views all of a sudden because Man at Arm's channel "AWE me" posted a similar tutorial.

Inspired by Jayne's "Troublemaker" tee, I have created this "Problem-Solver" design. Non-canonical and original. Available in 'like new' and 'worn / weathered / vintage.' More details at my blog: https://gndn.wordpress.com/2016/01/19/problem-solver-shirt-design/ "Let's be bad guys." -MJ

The long, long version: https://gndn.wordpress.com/2016/01/06/firefly-jaynes-perfect-cat-shirt-replica/ The short version: This design was seen in concept art for the TV show, but never made, AFAIK. I have painstakingly recreated it. Buy it here, before I get et by Reavers...

These say "Spring Festival" (AKA Chinese New Year) in Traditional Chinese. They have a kind of Jayne-like vibe to them, I think. https://www.teepublic.com/t-shirt/387673-spring-festival I have also included some non-traditional but complementary colors, not just red (blue, black, gray, etc)...
