War machine 1st attempt

[Don Juan]

Sorry guys i think it was my computer or phone... It kept on saying the GIF has incorect file extensionsomething like that but i got it it...then i wasnt getting notifications for MY OWN thread..wth!!!!


picture of pepped minigun and motor...

I shorten the barrels but you can see it in the picture.. and if your wondering what the back is for its to help support the barrels... i have to shorten it a little then it should be ok.. now making the base for it will be next..

a lot of cleaning up i need to do...

Well this was supposed to fit here i guess i will grind down the resin a little..

 

[Don Juan]

small video of barels...how they spin nicely on rod..wont need to much to spin them

pvc meets pepakura.....finally........

 

[Don Juan]

Will be working on minigun base today..suppose to be 112°..to bad i can't work indoors

 

[laellee]

It's going to kick ass to see this thing done.

 

[Don Juan]

Well here's a peak of how it will look....

 

[jackieisrockin]

Man thats looking too cool!

 

[Don Juan]

I made a plate for inside and out the inside one will be fiberglass together with the pep ....part ..then make holes to hold the motor in place ..i have to go get some more sheet metal.. Had some scraps so i was only able to do these.....

There will be a metal tube welded to under side of bottom metal...and have big washers for tube to go in to swivel ..was thinking of adding bearings but for now i wanted some friction so it wont go all over the place..maybe if i ever motorized lolthe gun to move side to side which i had in mind..i can add them later..i know how i can do it ,I would need help on electronics but for now i can settle for this..lol

the pep will be covering the harware and the wiring for the motorized barrels.might run it through the metal tube if there's room

I might do like a thread at the bottom to access the bolt not sure exactly yet but its a rough draft so far

Sorry i have posted so many pictures ..it for people can get an idea of how to do it if they ever want to built one..its my first time building stuff like this so its also to get input from you guys/gals....
Let me know what you think..

[Don Juan]

From paper to metal...

This part is the one that goes between the arm and the base of mini gun it holds the gun up ..i did make it like a cm wider..

This were tacked in place just in case i want to remove it....

I see you are working an iron chucky too

 

[Don Juan]

Iron chucky..lol..maybe..i made a tiny helmet it fits my chucky ..well just made face plate didnt want to do all the helmet....



So i wasnt going to do no electronics till the end but i couldnt resist...the easiest and cheapest repulsor i can think off



I went to the 99 cents store and i saw this thought I would give it a try the most i can loose would be 99 cents plus it came with Batteries cant loose either way



So hers it goes

I think it fits nicely in there..i didnt want to trim until i resin glove but you get the picture..

Oh and just to let you know i didnt need all those wires i thought i did because it had 4 prongs up against the case to make contact but its all connected together so even better only two wires needed...


So just for your info..sorry for my misspells..im posting o. My phone and is hard to correct has to post all this twice because i was going back to fix.....lol
