Hi, I have had the components for some time, well most of them. I finally found a T10 calculator panel ( had to buy the whole flash generator!!) and the Hama viewer two weeks ago.

So here we go....will not bore you with the build as its covered well enough at the Hyperdynelabs.com site which is pretty much the guru build site...very usefull. Many Thanks to those people for the build assistance through the photographs and text.

The pump widget is a resin unit, I guess cast from the original pump.

I have removed the overly thick base plate and replaced it with a more practical ( to my idea of how they would have added this plate to the original pump) and thinner styrene sheet which can be curved at the edges to meet the curve of the Kango body where it is to be mounted.

One thing I did want to do was replicate the trigger as the one my Kango had was very small and incorrect so I started to build it up with styrene, but in a way that it could still be depressed ( not emotionally :lol )

Paint is Krylon Flat Olive Drab, which I have used on my Pulse Rifle ( that thread is on here somewhere but PR to be finished within a month )

I have added weight ( approx 600g ) so that the finished prop has a good feel to it.

Three tictac packs filled with lead shot and resin.

Using brass tubing for the cable bits on the side, so its sturdy.
 
This looks really good. Subtle, convincing weathering. Looking forward to your end result!
 
Thanks people...looks great next to my Pulse Rifle..which I am just finishing the electrics on....will re-start my PR thread V soon ( so excited, it looks the dogs b )
 
BTW. jodocast has said that if anyone wants the files, he is happy to share so feel free to contact me and I will email them to you.
 
Cheers L0B0, just need to work a way to get the sound out now! Must admit for such a simple approach it works really well, and Jodo's vid files loop automatically so it just keeps running.
 
ok....try this:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B5tjGcv3lscONGNid09id0ROY2M?usp=sharing

The files are named 1-7, movie and alien attack.
1. is no motion detected
2. is the furthermost away through to 7 being right on top of you.
Movie is them joined in sequence with the alien attack video at the end and alien attack is the scene when the aliens break through and Hudson gets some lol

Enjoy ;)

Thanks for sharing but now that I'm ready to use those files they are no longer there I can't find them. Is there any way you could send them to me again id really appreciate it
