Marvel Now Star Lord gun / Guardians of the Galaxy

[renaissance_man]

I really enjoyed the Abnett & Lanning Guardians of the Galaxy series from 2008 and am also loving the new Brian Michael Bendis Marvel Now series which is why I'm thinking of making Peter Quill's gun from the new series.



I've drawn up the basic plans but would need to work out the structure of the pieces for assembly and potential options for backlighting the emblem on the side and the end muzzles.


Any thoughts?
Is there any interest in this gun? I know it's slightly obscure and maybe not so many people read the comic.

Some interest may be generated, especially as the movie has just begun filming.
Good luck with the build.

 

[renaissance_man]

Thanks, but I think the movie will have a different looking gun, but as you said it may generate some interest as a byproduct of the films success.

I would be interested in seeing a build. love gun's. there's just one little thing I don't get. and i have seen this on one of the star trek phaser's too.
On the back lower part. that little piece pointing at a downwards angle. why would anyone design a pistol that way. would it not get in the way of your wrist in a battle or something. not picking on the gun. just a little quirk of mine....

 

[renaissance_man]

Since it's glowing I would guess some sort of rechargeable powercell?

I'm curious though where on the Star Trek weapons have you seen this extra piece?
To my knowledge most if not all Star Trek gun type props don't have a protrusion at the back as with the Star Lord gun above.

 

[Sean]

It may have been some kinda steam punk version. I will look and find it. but there was a small round brass looking protrusion pointing in the same manner...

 

[Sean]

This one....

Ah, the Kelvin phaser.

The handle looks like the handles from some Star Wars blasters. It's kind of a cool design.

This one....

Ahh well what do you expect from a JJ Abrams Star Wars... I mean Star Trek film.

a few months ago i started building it becuase i fell in love with the design and it looked close enough to the movie concept that it may work




but my appreciation for the new series PLUMMETED! so i never got around to finishing

but with the new batch of images star lords guns look more like plasma rifles from halo

Sweet gun. hope you don't work in your shop bare footed tho. LOL not OSHA advisable....just ribbing yha.

 

[Cosmic Ash]

haha i did! but that was back when we lived in a two bedroom apartment....

now were in a 5 bedroom house where i have a 13x20 well ventialled shop and work shoes! haha



but to get back on track, the gun design is awesome and i think the interest in it will be placed on if the new line doesnt turn itself around

but either way i vote build it!!

 

[renaissance_man]

Nice job there Cosmic Ash!

I'll get some more plans together to have the parts laser cut in the next month or so.
