Hey Guys and Gals,
My name is Grant and I'm new here on the RPF but have been involved in costuming and prop building for a little while now.
Some of my friends and I are now embarking on doing "Colonial Marines" costumes from the "Aliens" movies and I got this bee in my bonnet about building a replica of the Sentry gun, like that used in "Aliens" (extended cut)to defend the corridors.
I decided I wanted more than just a static prop so came up with a design for an operating system to install in the gun to make it much more interactive.
So ...without any further ado I present the building of my sentry gun.
I hope you enjoy,
G

This is what I am using as reference.

Then I needed to lay out the internal workings and test them (see attached video)

*** WARNING *** some colourfull language used (hit in very sensative area)


Meanwhile the build continued ....

Re: UA-571C Remote Sentry Weapon System.

Yes, it's 1:1 ... it's quite a big unit as you can see in this pic

I had to install a motor speed controller to slow the movement a little.
Here is a new test video


Hope you enjoy,

This is awesome! It's like ALIENS fever around here!! Love'n it!! The test fire video was really REALLY cool!! Need to pump some sounds like that into the Pulse Rifles!!!

Great work!!

Yes, it will have a tripod and top mounted camera once finished .... my goal is to try to get it looking as close to the screen used item as I can :)
