Team fortress 2 weapons

[dragehest]

I am one of the current wave of new comers, and i also want to post something.

I like to have some projects with no purpose, where i can experiment freely with new things and slap stuff together without worry about it looking good.

I love playing Team Fortress 2, and i think it is mostly because how the game looks. So like so many others i have an urge for replicating cool stuff i see.

I have made the grenade launcher and the minigun side by side and have spent maybe 15 hours so far. Materials used is acrylic, mdf and pom, all scavenged from thrash from local factories.

glauncher before filler and the start of the minigun

The barrels on the minigun spins with the help of two ball bearings.

this is where the minigun is now

here is also a short clip of the mg:

It looks very "hairy" compared to the standard on this forum, but everything i make daily in my profession have to be super clean and straight so it feel so nice to bash some garbage togehter and smear some paint on it

Those look great!
Wish I was as talented, lot's of things I'd love to make.

Both the Force-a-Nature and Sasha look awesome! Great job.

These just blew me away. The rotating barrel on sasha in the video was icing on the cake. awesome job

 

[Drewid]

Fantastic work! Those look exactly like their game counterparts

thanks, the models are fairly accurate, found exported models from the game and made some really good blueprints to work with.
too bad i always ruin my models by painting them, i could not have made this look if my life depended on it, so i tend to avoid it instead of practicing more.

excellent work!, I think the paint looks great. are you planning on making a sentry or flame thrower? That would rock!

cheers

i have infact allready made both,
The last year i went to school i had a big project trying to make the whole TF2 character lineup, the project fell into ruins when i broke both my hands and left elbow in an accident and i failed my course.

Making the weapons and the mechanical bits was pure ecstasy for me so i am happy to be able to continue this project now without doing all the tedious essays etc.

here is some pictures from the school project, all models are 1:10

this is also the project i gave up sculpting, feels good to not have the burden of sculpting on my shoulders

 

[Amish Trooper]

Those look fantastic

 

[Firespray]

Amazing work. :thumbsup

 

[blownhemi]

Oh wow, those are awesome! I'm a TF2 junkie, so I'm really digging these.

Have you ever thought about doing anything from the fan edits? I think the reskinned sniper rifle made from the Scout's bones would be really sweet.

 

[T2SF]

amazing amazing work!

 

[rocketeer25]

I bet there is a market for some of those bad boys! I'd love to have a sentry gun at my desk at work. :love

Ever thought of offering pieces for sale?

 

[dragehest]

Ever thought of offering pieces for sale?

Yes i have, however i dont think anyone would pay enough money for me to bother making a kit (200-250$)

 

[TheHeroOfCanton]

First post !

Those are awesome man! Really nice work! I love the sentry gun, really great attention to detail. They would indeed make awesome desk items .

Fantastic works. You are not working with Gamingheads, are you?

 

[Klwl]

Love the pyro pose

Fantastic works. You are not working with Gameheads, are you?

no, i am not affiliated with anyone, this is just a afternoon hobby, however would love to team up with a experienced sculptor/painter and do a collaboration and make some decent figures from team fortress,

thanks for all the compliments, make me want to make even more
