EXPEL THEM!!!!

Have you seen the Bond toy figure from Moonraker. It shows an added white piece on the gun on the muzzle. Is that accurate or something they added to the toy?

No..it's correct. What you're seeing is my work in-progress. I still need to add the 2 white buttons on each side as well as 2 strips of chrome tape bands around the barrel as well as a series of plexiglass rods inside and protruding from the barrel.

Stay tuned for more pics as I get more done.

Hi Guys,
Another progress photo.
I thought to install an ULTRA bright LED in place of the red lasers as it more closely duplicates the look of the blue lasers in the film.

Almost done adding the buttons on the side…little more to go to finish.

Hi Guys,
Just about finished this replica.

I still want to do some interior work to make the Ultra-Bright LED even stronger by placing 1 LED inside each of the 7 acrylic rods (which still need to be added)

Here are both the "Stunt" version usually seen carried by Drax's guards and the "Hero" version used by Holly and Drax.

The "Hero" version prior to installing the front acrylic rods.

The Ultra-bright LED....IS !!! LOL

I can actually use this prop as a flashlight...and that's with only 1 LED...
Wait until I have all 7 in there!!! LOL

That's turning out pretty cool! :thumbsup

Nice work!

All the Moonraker talk made me pop the DVD in and watch this afternoon. I notice Drax's goons on the spacestation also carry black rifles. I couldn't get a good view of them, but are they the same as the white laser rifles carried by the space Marines just painted black?

 

[ed-209]

Yes...they are exactly the same. A modified UZI Smg with parts on it that, apparently, no one can identify...LOL

More progress on the MOONWALKER laser pistol:

I replaced the chrome tape with polished aluminum strips on the one…still need to do the other.

Brass tubes were placed inside the barrel until I get the acrylic rods. Looks like it will work pretty good!!!

Hope you guys are enjoying the progress.

THANKS!!!

I would love to start on the Laser Rifle but still no clue on the parts added to the base gun.

Acylic rods now added. Still need to replace chrome tape with aluminum bands.

Just got a Blue-Ray screen capture of the Laser.
Seems like the end piece wasn't what i thought....

I'm thinking the end piece looks like some sort of Fastex side release plastic buckle (see insert)

I realize that's NOT the one used but perhaps a variation of it. Anyone have any ideas or recognize that part used?

Just received some better screencaps that show a clearer pic of the side piece.
Seems like a cover appears in te next scene when Drax is holding it.
Anyone start to recognize this “Greeblie”
