Custom gaunt blade top

[Paintninja]

Greetings and Salutations all,

After having purchased a blade animatronic from Nightslayer666 and gaunts + comp top
from Mr. Fett, I found myself needing a custom blade top that would both fit the gaunt bottom
and cover the animatronics. So I began sculpting a blade top to suit my needs, complete with
a static net launcher on top. So without further adue here are some pics of the first casting with
a quick paintjob. Critique?

The fit is splendid!

Thanx for all the kind compliments, "brothers and sisters of the blade"!
Indeed, necessity IS the mother of all invention, LOL! Plus having it come out
exactly the right size...........small triumph!

Really really nice!
Its hard to find gaunt tops that can enclose a blade device and still look great and original. What would you ask for them?

I was thinking maybe $40.00 usd painted to customer prefference,
$25.00 for raw, postage included, still working on the international rates.
Any thoughts on price given the market? Am I too high or low?
Faken feel free to chime in, O' mighty appraiser of all that's Yautja!

Ok, pics and video requested. First, sorry for the shakey camera work
by my youngest son while fighting with older brother. Punkasses......
Second, I cane straight home to do this then realized I hadn't any
fresh AA's. So I'm scavenging every AA I can find, probably semiweak
as some came out of remotes and stuff. It takes 8 AA's, Ouch!
The first time I ever "played with it" I had lithiums in it which seem to
last alot longer and the action is alot more rapid. Maybe we'll have
some HD video of us shot at DC. Anywho, without further adue......

Niiiice! Awesome animatronics dude. And nice house shoes also rofl.

 

[predator666]

Nice work man!

 

[A Hunters Moon]

Nice. I was thinking though . . . wouldn't you get a quicker release if the blades weren't so heavy? Maybe P1 style. I know they're probably not all that heavy. Just an idea.

 

[Mr Fett]

Animatronics always rock!
