Im trying to get some blu and yellow stuff to use or what is good for molding and bonding plastic? Also i got a broken tomas engine to and i lukly decided to keep the base and the turning mottor attched, i am thinking about using that as a rotating cannonwith flashing lights and abarrel that fires.the barrel would only light up with the help of an old camera flash tube. Ive seen old camera flash tubes used for iron man repulsors so i probably would work but would need a tinted sheild so tobchange the flash colour. But that would havecto wait i dont know how to make circet board or how to do wiring. For my turing and flash cannon i have some parts from an old gargoyle toy ship. I want to use them for this plasma cannon idea. Im not sure if to make the blades align withbthe nose of the top of the bareel or not, but that is fr another time.
I am just trying to get some things done so i can work on my gijoe cannon. Which i might mahe a helm with using one of the snakeeyes toy masks as a template what do you think. I am going to try and make a theme suit parts for my cannons so it doesnt look odd. Like a nerf predator armour and gaunrtlets.
I also want to make my own predator style trophy wall with custom 'trophys' like a inferno creature from animorphs, it was a transformer toy that turned from andilite visser threee to inferno creature. It would be a sweet skull along with an andilite skull, a sayian tail/ scouter, lightsaber, and violters skull from spawn

So i got a few things to say for this update, I am back and ready to complete this project. This Plasma caster will have a light gimmick with blue led's that will flash, like a camera flash. I have a few more parts that i will show in the coming days and weeks as i work on this and my Nerf plasma caster.
So i plan for this plasma caster to be mounted on a suit as well as a stand. I was going to use a Canon Prima Shot camera with detachable wireless remote control to be the main workings of the gimmick. Though now i am going to have to use a proper wireless setup as well as a camera flash electronics, though i am wondering if replacing the flashing tube with blue led's will work. The parts in the picture above is not changing except for an interior barrel system that will flash. i will try and get pictures as well as a mock up sketch done in the coming days.
I am very excited to be back and have the drive to work on my projects. I really haven't felt like this in years, so please be patient as i work out some things in real life but don't worry i will be posting and updating these projects until they are done. My deadline for the Mark 1 of this Plasma caster is going to be the end of March. That will entail: a working flash gimmick, that is wireless. the wireless part will be apart of my custom control gauntlet that i will also post here. I am only worrying about the plasma casters at this point in time so i do not over worry or over compilation things for myself. The control Gauntlet mark 1 (functions only to control the firing/light up gimmick of this plasma caster) deadline is for end of May or end of June depending on complicity of said workings.
So as i said I will try and get a mockup design done as soon as possible and posted here to show the eletronic setup i plan on implementing. So thanks again for the support you gave me when i joined and for future support. I cant wait to get things rolling!

I also have the little electroinic kind of mapped out so i can get wired. If anyone has experitse in wiring electroinics your help would be most beneficial. The electroincs are from this laser tag gun. Its those blue buttons on the top near the screen. 
I am sorry for the duplicates but i have shacky hands so its hard for me to get good pictures. I am wanting to use the button and ciurcet board for contorling the plasma caster flash. I also posted above the camera flash electroincs from the Canon prima Shot Camera, I have dismanteld and want to use in it. I figured i may have to wire this up and use conneters to swtich from a sholder mount to a display stand. I really dont know much about wiring as i said before so anyone who can help me or teach me is good.

So i actually dont need that camera flash electronic as i found i had salvaged from my nerf FireFly that used a smilar electronic. which is highly smaller but still gives off a powerful flash. It also runs on 2 AA batteries, with its battery case. I will be using said electronic and modfining it with the Lazer tag gun control buttons. I have most of the electronis for that still around. I am asking if anyone knows how to wire it up.
I am hoping for the control button to be mounted in my left gauntlet. The buttons listed as fwrd and back would control the robotic arm for the plasma caster, pretty standard understadning. The reset button would reset the electronic to fresh if there is an electronic error or wrong messege. the okay button would be the firing switch, the other three buttons would control preprogramed funcitons such as animations. I am also looking into getting a premade or kit for the control gauntlet,( the countdown timer display screen)
I have a few ideas for more lights on the plasma caster i need to figure out if, i could just drill out some holes or need to do some more indepth work for it.
