Hey yall!
This is actually my first build, and I realize how big of a undertaking this project will be, and it's probably going to be a while till it all comes together, but hey gotta start somewhere first right?
I've really enjoyed my time playing destiny and was inspired by some of the great fan projects and cosplay I've seen come out of the Destiny universe. Bungie games have always had such a great and devoted fanbase and Destiny is no different. Currently at the time of writing this, the Grasp of Malok is one of the most powerful and sought after guns in the game for PVP encounters. Anyone whose faced an opponent with a god roll Grasp can tell you how much this thing rips.
Starting off I know I needed great blueprints or this was a doomed project from the start. After scouring the internet I finally found out that while there was no direct blueprints of the Grasp, the in-game model was based around the base model of the pulse rifle gun class archetype. SOLID. Was able to find a great Hi-rez image of the base pulse rifle and was able to use Illustrator to turn those into blueprints.
I will post the image below incase any other destiny foam-smiths would like to use that base image.
My intentions are to go all out on this build. I want to end with a screen ready prop that features a working mag release as well as turning that front bottom cylinder into a flashlight.
Since this is my first build, I wouldn't mind some advice from the community. Should I complete a full foam build and then cast as one big prop?, or cast piece by piece and assemble it into the final build?
Thanks!
