Sandman Flame Gun

Well, I did it. I had 3 days off so I built my Sandman Flame Gun that I've been wanting to build for years.

Here are some photos let me know what you think.

oldie but goody... that is AWSSSUM.... :thumbsup :thumbsup

 

The pics are tiny and don't appear to be linked to anything larger so it's hard to get a good idea.

Got a bigger image?

 

Does it fire?

 

Flame on. B)

 

No, It's just PVC pipe. I was going to put a flash unit from a disposale camera in it but the * capasitor kept frying my *. I never messed with these but I couldn't figure out how to seperate the flash from the circit board so I could place it in the end of the barrel.

 

PVC? Could you post bigger pix?

And a tutorial perhaps?

 

Ah, nice.

 

Looks Nice.

 

Didn't the originals use a carbide charge? I seem to remember that from somewhwere...

Looks good.

 

Yes. I was actually playing with mine yesterday after looking at this thread.

 

Yep. Calcium-Carbide and water.

I have been playing with mine since I got it 2 weeks ago. :lol

 

If you go to Richard Coyals website www.racprops.com he has a drawin of a flame gun and I just went from there. There is a member here that has one on his webpage and that is who I got inspired by. Please forgive me cuz right now I can't recall his name but here is a link to his site you'll have to look around for it.

I've got a Wilco model of this, that I can't wait to build.

 

I have bought a resin version in ther junkyard and would like to know what kind of paint I should use ( type and color )

Thank you

I don't know if it would be good for a resin copy but the originals were Krylon 1613 semi-flat black

 

Ah Thank you. I will give it a try with a good primer and see how it goes. I'm waiting for the flamegun I got in the Junkyard but now at least I can get things together.
