Forbidden Planet Rifle

[Lost in Trek]

I picked up one of the Forbidden Planet Rifles offered by Nicksdad in the JY recently. Really nice kit, main body is metal, grips cast in resin from an original. I've wanted one of these ever since I saw FP as a kid. All in all I think it turned out great.

Thanks to Nicksdad for the great kit!

and of course thanks to Wackchimp for pic hosting!

That rifle does look nice! :cool

My rifle was built by Jphn Rigg, and isn't quite as accurate. Still i do like it. (and neither mine nor the one above have the correct amber tip...). The pistol is by Coyle.

Sweet, the plexi or clear acrylic looks sharp like glass!!!

 

[Vaderman]

Those look great!
Did you paint the resin plug that goes in between the two clear, fluted parts?

Nice job on that. I hadn't seen Richard Coyle's pistol before either, it looks great too!

Those look great:love Be careful though, that pistol looks like some type of Jetson hair dryer. I bet it could do some damage to one's hair though. Ohhhh.

Sorry..a sad attempt at humor, from an unfunny guy.

I always wonder what happened to the 'Tractor' seen in the film. I know the C-57D ended up, both the set and the model, being reused over and over again in TV...but what happned to that vehicle?

LOL...That's Fantasticthumbsup

Apparently Robby was forced into being Anne Francis' personal assistant for awhile, before he went crazy and killed those guys. :eek
