Arkham Asylum/City Grapple Gun VIDEO Build - Progress pic added

your videos are engaging, informative , and show everything about th' build Awesome job matt. and thanx for doin them.
 
Woah, that was like five posts with high praise in a row! Thanks guys!!!! :)

I've got two more videos just about done, both of which are focused on being informative, not just showing the build. It looks like that motif is getting some good reaction, so i will keep it up. Thanks for all the feedback :)
 
I'm rendering the latest video right now. This one is PURELY techniques and materials, so I'm curious to see how it will be received. It's a little over five minutes, but it's packed with information. I believe. You tell me.
 
You ought to collate all think links in the first post. It's a bit hard to jump through 160 posts to find 19 links.

Any word on a box set? with limited edition collectible case - of course :)
 
These videos are the essence of what make the RPF great. I can't wait to use some of these skills on future projects. I have a styrene R2 percolating in the back of my head.. and these videos sure are feeding the fire.

With the 321 blocks, could you put a pin in your work surface to lock them in place while you are working with them?
 
Looking good Munson!! Any reason why you didn't mold the majority of it in one piece?

Had I molded it in one piece, there would be many seams that would be impossible to reach to clean up. Like between the handle and the body. Same thing with the front assembly. I actually DID think this through, you know :lol
 
I really like the informative nature of the videos. It's always nice to learn about new materials/tools/techniques. People approach projects differently so it's great to see how someone else does something.
 
What did you use for the mold box? Looks like either thick styrene, sintra, or foam-core display board...

I just wanted to let you know that when using the liquid plastic glue you don't have to prewet your piece or seams. Just hold the 2 pieces together and brush along the seam. The wet stuff work by capillary reaction, The glue will find the gap and flow in to it.This sometime may leave a brush stoke. I find those are easilly sanded away. Also the needle bottle work great for this but require a little practice.
