Hey gang! I just joined up, so I figured I'd show you one of my recently finished project pieces. My friends and I attended the Penny Arcade Expo dressed up as characters from the video game Starcraft II. I was suited up as Jim Raynor and my favorite part was building a replica of his pistol.
This is a solid block of cast plastic resin. I made the original out of mostly MDF and PVC. Then I made a urethane mold of it all in one piece so that I could cast it in plastic and have a nice prop that would withstand the rigors of a convention.
After the 'con I cast a second one (I gave the original to Gabe and Tycho of Penny-Arcade) and fancied it up a bit with a box!
Here is a shot of the whole cast of characters. I am the goofball on the right!
