making ''wasp'' from Avatar

[patrick]

hey guys

just started to build the ''WASP" from AVATAR
and a wanna make a tutorial. but....
my digital cam broke down .so no pics so far. as for the build it was a pain in the ****
to figure out what kind of base gun they use.so i get the measurements right
but that's done now. and it's becoming to look like a gun.
well as soon as my cam is made i well post same pics of it.
ready or not.

so stay tuned

Any tips working with it? I'm looking for a new medium for a project I have in mind, cause what I normally use is going to put the project out of reach...

Looking good mate. I'll be watching this thread. It's good to see both another Avatar weapon and an MDF build.

Keep it up.:thumbsup
