Weta - Dr Grordbort's Custom Raygun Contest! - SHOW OFF YOUR CONCEPTS AND DESIGNS!

A Carrier Pigeon dropped this one at my window earlier today.

I wonder what it means...

Is it possible to get it any larger? I wanted to engrave some plates for the stock... DOH! now I've given away my secret idea! If not, that's cool too.
:lol

Thanks for the contest, this rocks!
Can we get this as a vector image? That would be even better than a large bitmap.
 
I made a video but youtube is telling me it's going to take almost 24 hours to upload. Jeez, I wanted HD but that is ridiculous. Will post here as soon as it's uploaded.

EDIT: for video upload.

Anyway my secret is I'm turning my Righteous Bison into "A Real Raygun" using a magnetron. I call her the Wooly Wisent (One L on purpose).

A couple of shots of parts, just 2 of the important guy, and none of the other things I have ready as it would really clog up the thread.

And a little note, not in character but I like the stationary regarding the Wooly Wisent and its intended use. May not actually mess with modern radar guns but I think the old ones had a broad enough range for it's reflections. If we got any pros, they can call me out on that one.

Here's a youtube reply to your youtube video!

Seriously though, great job with the video and the blogspot page, I'll be following your updates! We've still got a couple months before these things ship, and that's plenty of time for more video production!
 
Wanting to get to work without delay, and being a somewhat impatient fellow, I gave my manservant the task of transcribing the fine emblem of our benefactor into a more useable vector format. The lad wasted no time in setting to the task and soon had produced a quite suitable likeness. I present it to you all in the hopes that others might find it of use.

Attached is a Adobe pdf file which should be compatible with most bit map and vector based graphics software package.

I sincerely hope this is not objectionable to the good Doctor and his emissaries who have been so good as to sponsor this little competition.

Huzzah!

Mine finally uploaded YouTube - Outpost 7 Transmission 1

Hope you guys enjoy!
 
No problem.


In other news, I was just doing the calculations and I would need a decent size parabolic antenna (reflector dish) to make this work the way it should.

Guess I'll just stick with it acting like a cheap cell phone/radio jammer in real life with a big cone of projection instead of a focused beam.

Or maybe I will go with just a cosmetic build...hmm. Plenty of time to think about it I suppose.

In the meantime, you gents should check out what some people have done with their magnetrons on youtube. Some real Darwin Award candidates out there.:lol

Or drool over some military and broadcast klystrons and magnetrons. I especially like the stuff for the microwave antennae on radar-guided munitions YouTube - Klystron & Magnetron Tubes
