Wal-Mart Plasma Cannon Completed

[A Hunters Moon]

So my wally world canon has been on the back burner on and off for a while now. So I figured it was finally time to finish it up. Here's what it currently looks like:

This is to match my custom P1 bio. So you'll see some designs carried over from that and into the canon. I have a tiny bit more sculpting and detailing to do. Then it's time for paint. I'd give it a little over two weeks and I should be posting some finished pics. As always . . tell me what you think.

Somehow I missed this thread in all of my thread hunting. Very nice build! Looking forward to seeing this finished up soon, though, I won't be coming back to this thread until I finish my own because I don't want it influencing my own design

 

[Uhlakk]

Nice work, I love it.

Nice dude! cant wait to see it painted!

Can't wait to finish it really. I'm working on a trophy wall in my office. So I'm ready to add it to my collection.

high five for a trophy wall in the office!

Finished up the last bit of sculpting. This added a spine to the plasma canister. Took a lot of time waiting on each section to dry before starting the next. If I'm lucky no other ideas will pop into my head and I can lay down some primer tomorrow and go from there.

Great build, like the details on this one.
Are you also planning to build an arm for your cannon?

 

[A Hunters Moon]

I may add one in the near future. Right now I'm completely focused on the canon itself.

Here are my initial base coat and textures. There's still a lot to be painted and a great many details to be added paint wise. Hope you like it.

Hey guys. I'm glad to say I've finally completed my plasma cannon. As you may or may not know the cannon was created from a five dollar toy gun bought at wal-mart. The plasma canister and a great many of the final details were added or sculpted by me. The finished cannon was painted to match my customized P1 Bio.

I used multiple techniques to get the final paint including stippling and dry brush work. There were a few set backs here and there but usually nothing I couldn't handle. In the end it took some time but I'm very much satisfied with the end result. Tell me what do you guys think . . .

Most totally wicked to say the least-- great innovation and imagination!!!!

 

[ONEYE]

Brilliant idea and execution!

 

[Origami Unicorn]

Epic!

 

[TehEl1te]

Now that is one AWESOME cannon AND bio! Mad props dude... i love how it illuminates!!!

 

[Night Hunter]

Wow I would have never guessed that was a $5 toy!!! Amazing work great job

 

[Eaglewood]

Epic!

EPIC--
its that the new "word" now?? My son kept saying that when he was here---- Sorry dont mean to hijack the thread here--

I love the innovation on the Cannon, A Hunter's Moon. The illumination on the Cannon will really make it stand out if you plan on doing any Con Hunts. I love the front part of the bio you customized as well, if you were going for your own custom theme with a suit or just those 2, you did an OUSTANDING job on it.

And to answer Eaglewood's question, yes apparently for some time - Epic - is the new word for cool.

Very very awesome job done on the Bio & Caster, dude.
