I'm thinking about making Zorg's ZF-1 gun from The Fifth Element. There are a few other threads on this, and I'll probably even make my own down the line if I dive into the project, but for now I've got a limited-scope question about size and scale. I'd be 3D printing pretty much the whole thing. I am actually already a few parts into printing it, but I decided I'd check the scale before I went too much farther, so I rendered the model, printed it out 1:1 and mounted it on cardstock.
The scale is based off the rocket part - someone took measurements of it in another thread, which gave me something to scale against.
Girlfriend thinks it's too big. I'm comparing it against shots of Gary Oldman holding the thing.
My reference is basically his forearm length from fingers to elbow, in which case I think I'm close?. But Gary Oldman is also 5'9", and I'm 6'2", and probably have longer arms, so I'm not sure if I'm going overboard scale-wise. Am I close here?
