FINISHED Scratchbuilt 1:1 'Ole Painless' Replica

[Laser Brain]

I've been going into work early and utilising my break time to make a Vulcan M134 replica.

It is mainly acrylic and tooling board with a butchered joystick.

I still have a long way to go with the detailing I haven't started the right side yet), but the basics are there, if a little rough in places.

Here's a shot with my Matsuo/HCG hybrid Pulse Rifle.

Re: Another 1:1 'Ole Painless' M134 Replica

Thanks guys. I'm not sure what I'll do with it when it's done....it'll probably sit in the loft...in a box.

Progress has been slow the last couple of weeks but I've done a bit of work on the right hand side.

Re: Another 1:1 'Ole Painless' M134 Replica

Thanks Patrick.

I've almost finished the build. I've removed the standard handle and made the add-on handle that 'Ole Painless' had. No pictures yet though. I've got to scratch the M60 grip, which I'm not too happy about.

I did have a metal serial number plate made, just for fun. Check the serial number

Re: Another 1:1 'Ole Painless' M134 Replica

Wow, that looks like it could fire... awesome build! The gun collector in me is drooling. The brass serial plate takes it up a notch, the level of detail you cover is incredible. Too cool.

How heavy is it?

Cheers guys.

She's almost done. I'm just making a load of clips to add and then I'll Zeebo the final finish (once the 2-pack lacquer has dried). I'm going to start the pattern to vac-form the M60 part next week.

Excellent work, love the level of detail specially on the feeder-delinker.

What kind of reference material did you use?

Re: Another 1:1 'Ole Painless' M134 Replica

That is very impressive! Most M134 builds are PVC pipes and the dimensions come out all wrong. Tell us some of your building secrets How was the brass plate made? cnc? or acid etching? I took would like to know your reference material? perhaps cad drawings?

thanks for sharing!

Re: Another 1:1 'Ole Painless' M134 Replica

This is insanely cool, do you plan on making it rotate?

 

[Laser Brain]

Re: Another 1:1 'Ole Painless' M134 Replica

Cheers guys.
Matsuo, I just did a bunch of Google searches for the M134 and found shots from all of the angles I needed. As far as the 'Ole Painless' upgrade parts, I found the ref here.
T2SF, mine is still mainly pipes, but acrylic. The rest of the details are turned from chemiwood (tooling board) or cut from flat acrylic sheet. I didn't have any drawings, but once I knew the barrel length for the weapon I could kind of scale the rest from there.
Simpletom, no plans to have it rotate. I did think about it though. The barrels can be removed from the body and the body is hollow, could I could retrofit a motor I guess.

Vos are you going to be building the back pack with all the ammo in it?

Some great photos (mostly screen captures) of old painless about 1/4 the way down the page.

Did you know that the gun used is the same gun to be later used in Terminator 2 they just changed it back to the chainsaw grip.
