Started on a sintra pack. I decided to deviate from the original P1 pack, as it is fairly beyond my skills with sintra or anything else. Here is the initial piece, far from finished.

I have cut some peices for a plated look going down the curve of the back of the pack, may install those later tonight. After some more details and fitting as well, it will be paint time I do want to modify it a little, as i wanted the inner bottom to curve in a bit more.....

Man, you are on fire!

Also, for those looking to avoid casting dread beads, i found a cheap way to do them. Although the method is a pain as well. I bought pvc electrical conduit from home depot, Scored and carved it with woodworking knives, cut it to size, then used a heat gun to soften the ends, then a round ended handle to push in the softened ends to flare the beads...

And that above is why the Predatorium is lucky to have new blood like you bro!

Looks really good man!

Closer to what I want

This sintra pack is a perfect example of measure zero times, then **** it and cut 1000 times. Ill never be a carpenter lol

 

[Dillonusob]

Thanks bud!!

Meant to tell you guys, I found this cannon on treatstock.com, 15 bucks, 3d printed then shipped. Short money for a workable cannon

It does have that funny 3d printed texture, which is not great with paint, but its workable. I may give mine a few more coats to try to smooth the texture a bit.

I cannot understate how much of a pain in the ass this was to get on.

Looks awesome! Think it would work over the coat I added already?? I added a hammered metal spray....

Know of anyplace that does the 6oz version? The 24 oz is $24 and makes it a bit pricey for a $15 piece. Or a viable alternative?

You need to read about 3d printing materials. If your cannon is abs plastic - you can use aceton. Brushing layers or make an acetone bath. This is my own opinion, you also need to ask advice to other members, who have more exp in 3d printing.

Absolutely, Im gonna check my order history and see what it was..

Already messaged the guy who printed it. An acetone wash would be anhell of a lot cheaper.

So, turns out it was printed in PLA. Anyone familiar with this stuff? Want to get a smoother finish on it.
