Logan's Run - The Animated Series - Concept Gun Design

[Doppelganger01]

In the past year I have been unable to work in a shop environment, due to some minor respiratory issues, and have not been able to work on my practical prop projects. In the meantime, I have resigned myself to digital prop-making and creating a back-log of digital files for printing one day, when I can return to the shop. I have a long wish list, that dates back decades. Here is a concept gun design for Logan's Run - The Animated Series. Of course, there was no animated series, but it's fun to imagine, what if there had been.

That was an emotional rollercoaster! You had me believing that I'd totally missed a Logan's Run Animated Series for a minute there.

Really beautiful work. Now how do we go about commissioning a Logan's Run Animated Series?

Looks good so whats the backstory on the gun?

Does it fire different rounds as in the book, or just Jet-Glo gas as in the Movie?

That's a good look, I see where you're going. Keep in mind functional guns don't have so many peaks and valleys and chunky edges that can snag on holsters and clothing. A little more streamlined would be awesome.

But still a great visualization. Well done.

wow me too I was thinking Where do i watch it?

Cool design and logical evolution. If hollywood ever gets around to the remake, that's the look i would expect.

Thank you! Yes, I have always thought this would have made a good animated series. Perhaps somewhere in the multiverse it already exist. Where are Rick and Morty when you need them?

Thank you! Actually this one is meant to be a more developed version of the film gun next to it. So basically, it's just a fancy flame gun. I am currently building my animated concept for the DS Gun from the books. I will add it here in a few days.

Thank you! Agreed regarding the design. I intended for this to be an extremely exaggerated version of the gun, which runs counter to old cell animation logic. This design would actually be more suitable for the comic/graphic novel series. As a kid, I was very underwhelmed by how Filmation drew the Star Trek phasers in the early 70's. It seemed to me, at the time, that they based their designs for the phaser, communicator, and tricorder on the AMT/ERTL Exploration Set model kit and not the actual TOS props so much. But, it's clear to me now that there were budget issues during its production, especially considering how often they used the running silhouette and other money saving cell animation techniques. I will add a real-world version to my list to do in the future.

Thank you very much!

Sorry for the multiple posts. I cannot get my multi-quote feature to work without erasing the previous quote and response.

i want one! Can I 3d print it?

 

[Bad Wolf]

whoa!!! rick, that's amazing!! great design!!

and I wish there was an animated LR too lol

 

[Krisk]

I love it! very cool. I'd also like to see a more streamlined version too.

Thank you! I have not fine-tuned the 3dm files yet for 3D printing. I will do that once I finish creating all my projects digitally. Then create all the stl files. It is my hope to eventually print all the parts of a selected few of my projects and then work out how I will proceed with making resin castings for kits. At present, my respiratory system is highly sensitive to chemicals and air suspended particulate matter. I will keep you posted how this works out. It's been my experience, though, whenever I make definite public statements about my projects, life steps in and my projects get put on hold (36" 3D Print Spinner Project, Gaff Concept Guns, Suppressed PKD-II, Zhora Guns, etc.) Keep your fingers crossed.

whoa!!! rick, that's amazing!! great design!!

Thank you, John!

I love it! very cool. I'd also like to see a more streamlined version too.

Thank you very much! I have added a real-world version to my list. I will let the animated version stay as is, but I will explore more curvilinear shapes for the real-world version.

Your creative design is impressive! My favorite design is your PKD shotgun

Thank you! The Gaff Shotgun is top on my list to print. I just want to make a few minor changes to the design first.

That gun render is simply astounding. Would love some more shots and angles of that beautiful piece.

Amazing, your guns are just splendid. Any chance you plan to reproduce some of your kits again ? Not sure how many are in 3D.

That animated gun is wonderful and a great design.....BUT, I also really LOVE your version of the classic movie DS gun !!! It looks like the Rolls Royce of guns :thumbsup

Thank you! Once I rework the design of the Gaff gun a bit, I will render it in KeyShot and post new images of it in the Gaff Concept Gun thread.

Thank you! At present all of my PKD kit patterns are in storage. If I am able to return to the shop one day, I will offer all of my kits on a limited basis.

Rick,

So good to hear from you. And seeing new work from you rocks.

I've always loved the DS guns. Once again, just like in the Blade Runner universe, you've added your spin and drawn in another eager customer.

Breath easy.

Ted.
