Ray Gun "915" Build - Finished

[tmax]

So I'm a big fan of ray guns and got inspired to do another build. My inspiration for this build is this absolute piece of art by the talented Mr. Nagata

For this build everything will be spare parts found around the workshop. I'll be using one of these toys for the base...

And one of the dispensers from this thingy-ma-bobby...

I'm also inspired by the crystal chambers by Soulinertia so this ray gun will be crystal powered...

Still playing around with the business end...

Gotta make this fit...

That'll work...

More parts for the build...

For the electronics I'm going to use the guts from a Buzz Lightyear toy blaster which has multiple lights and sounds.

All tucked in with hot glue...

Weight added...

Assembled and fin added...

It's all in the details...

So far so good.

 

[Riceball]

Very nice.

 

[Mr. Nagata]

Nice job! Looking forward to seeing the finished piece.

 

[Soulinertia]

Man, that looks like so much fun! I'm inspired. Looking forward to a vid of all the lights and sounds. Turning out beautiful so far!

 

[Chaank]

Oh man, subbed!!!

 

[PAULH]

Looks great!

 

[tmax]

Thanks guys.

For the "rivets" I'll be using the heads from these small nails...

That'll work. Almost ready for paint...

That's an amazing prop! I've always been a sucker for those ray guns.

Painted...

Assembled....

The fluro-green is the LED's lit up. They flash green and red.

Weathering went on hold while I did some black-wash testing with that Olive drab.

Oh and I also did a repaint on my first ray gun build.

Before...

After...

I really like those new colors! What paints did you use?

Thanks. I’ll have to check the paint can when I get home (away for the weekend). Can’t remember what flavor the blue is.

Finally got to finishing this bad boy...

And here's the vid of the lights and sounds in action (just for you Soulinertia )

Incredible work as always. That thing is wicked, wicked cool. I love ray guns.

 

[tye williams]

Kinda has a Futurama look to it. Really cool!

 

[Soulinertia]

You killed it with this one tmax! Love the way it's displayed too. Great job!

 

[tmax]

Thanks guys! Pretty stoked with this one. Might do a short run of them as I've had a few requests to buy. Lol.

[PAULH]

Very nice indeed. And the lighting really brings it to life.
