Current project status as of Aug. 9, 2015 - FINISHED
I have been a huge fan of the Call of Duty franchise since its start in 2003. Since then I’ve watched and played as the game franchise grew into what it is now, one of the foremost first person shooter video game series on the market. In 2008 Treyarch released World at War, which is to this day my absolute favorite Call of Duty release. It was also the first game in the series to introduce a new game mode called Nazi zombies. With this new game mode came some less than conventional weapons to fight the endless waves of undead SS soldiers. While there are now many different "Wonder Weapons" the Ray Gun was the first, and will always be my go to.
In all honesty, I had started a Ray Gun replica about 5 years ago. It was a colossal failure, so I scraped the idea. But a couple months ago I came across the drawings in a desk drawer and so I sat down at the computer and started 3D modeling a new, much more improved design.
Now that I’ve wasted enough of your time with the back story, here are some pictures of the build! As of now its not quite done, so keep checking back in.
I always enjoy hearing opinions and thoughts, so feel free to comment what you think!
It All Starts With A Design.
Nearly a full week of drawing and designing went into the final version of the gun (there were a lot of different versions). Unfortunately the in-game model I pulled was very low poly and was essentially useless, so I started from scratch. This new model was designed using SketchUp in case anyone wanted to know.
3D Printed Assembly.
22 separate pieces printed by Shapeways in their Strong White and Flexible material. Yes, it was costly. $$$.$$
Mock Assembly.
Snug as a bug.
