Gears of War: Boltok pistol

[smick6]

Looks great. Have always wanted to make one of those myself.

I use the super glue trick also, didn't know anybody else did.

Thanks. I sure do, MDF usually tends to get soft quickly, so the super glue helps fixing that.

I think I'll be making a wall stand for this in a few weeks. Want to hook it up to the wall ^^

Hey, awesome work man, your Boltok looks excellent!

Any chance for a pic of the electronics in action?

Glad to see more Dutchfolk prepared to defend the country from the Locust horde.

Hey a fellow Dutchy haha and thanks of course. What do you mean with the electronics in action? The attached thumbnail shows the gun with the lights turned on if that's what you're after.

I would love if I could get you pictures that you used to build it off of. I want to try one for my self but couldn't find a good one thanks.

 

[Sharkdog]

Ah indeed, there it is, the little light. Excellent stuff, truly!

I just googled 'boltok pistol' and used the images that popped up, nothing special really ;p
I used photoshop to track the lines and made several scales and prints before coming to a final conclusion.

 

[riverswamp]

Thanks I just Thought about that.

Bumping my post to announce something. I'm thinking about making a mold of the gun so I can make copies. Looking for opinions about this or people that might be interested. For another matter; I'm going to be building my very own gears armour very soon, aside from the Gnasher I'm already doing right now.

Can you make me one?!!! If so, how much?!
