A few weapons I made for a sci-fi short...

Incredibly awesome work, my friend!

This is really cool, the pistol looks like something from Mass Effect universe with D9 paint job.

But still completely original. Again, very cool.

(Are there going to be more things coming out of that mold?)

 

[ThrowingChicken]

There were actually 4 pistols in total. The other three were painted a metallic blue of sorts, as they were supposed to be police/security issue. The one shown here was going to be the only one to have any close up shots so I thought it would be interesting to differentiate between it and the others in hopes to get across the idea that it was received through illegal means, and perhaps it's an earlier and long forgotten model without having to actually build a whole new weapon.

Have the mold also affords me the ability to cast up my own somewhere down the line

Wow I love seeing projects like this. What did you use to cut that styrene/abs? Those cuts are incredibly clean.

 

[ThrowingChicken]

Just a bandsaw. I think I have to thank the mouse sander for the smoothness.

 

[Utherpend]

Very impressive work.

What's the break down in man hours on each one if you dont mind me asking?

 

[Atlas]

Looks exactly like pulled off an asteroid mine =)
I love the industrial feel.

Beautiful work TC! Great designs as well.

 

[DanielS]

I love that you put "caution, hot" on the barrel
'it's funny, cause it's true' lovely work here.
/D

These are GREAT! As a filmmaker I just want to say that I only wish I had props like this in the past!!! Keep it up!

 

[Snowflake]

Those are very inspiring! I think I'm definitely going for the red/white color scheme for some weapons I'm making! Love the weathering!

 

[Volpin]

Details like this are fantastic - the way to communicate auto, semi and safety graphically in a new way without spelling out the words is really what makes weapons like these work in their own universe.

You do fabulous work man, bravo

 

[Rocker]

Great work, it's fun to see the progress pics.

 

[ThrowingChicken]

Thanks! Graphics like that were just on a whim, didn't have time to think but I guess in retrospect I thought right!

I have yet to see anything from the film yet. Last I heard it was all edited together and the CGI guys and music and sound guys were working on it. I am pretty eager to see how it all looks in motion.

 

[FuseNova]

Great weapons - reminds me of D9.

Fantastic work on the weathering - I love a dirty gun.

 

[chachov]

Can you tell us how much time does it take you to build both props? They´re amazing!

 

[ThrowingChicken]

I think I had three weeks to get everything done. The rifle, 3 pistols, brief case, and a few smaller props.

 

[cephalopodprods]

some really nice custom work here! I really like the style of your designs.

 

[Steamtech]

I love the guns, they look awesome!

Thanks for the tips on the paint job too. I can't wait to try some of those techniques out

Wow man, I am most impressed with your paint job. Good stuff!
