Baring any more broken glass, I’ll just need my gun back from the engineering department then I can put the ablative coating on it. I've got a whole two day weekend for field trials and publicity ‘shots’. :thumbsup

I, for one, am fully intending on having my submission done in time.

I will be working up to the last minute! I had a hard time finding a large enough block of cheese for test firing.

LOVE IT! That's the design theme I was going for too: the 1920s era Buck Rogers atomizing ray gun look. Somebody months ago in this thread commented that "more is less" with the Bison and there's a beautiful simple design hidden underneath all the pipes and gauges.
Unfortunately, I had a VERY busy summer and rarely had a free weekend to work on my custom Bison, but that doesn't mean it's getting scrapped because I didn't meet the deadline!
Won't be able to finish it in 5 days, there's a lot of graphics I need to finish for the gauge decals and warning labels, aside from the fact that there's a lot of bondo work to do.
You haven't heard the last of me, WETA! It's not over yet!
Here is mine its called "Buffalo Blaster 2000". My first time doing anything like this but like the way it turned out.

Once again, the "honey-do" list has outdone the 'wanna-do' list. Mine won't be anywhere close in time, but I'm loving the things I've seen done!
Guys, these pics are FANTASTIC! WETA's going to have a tough time picking a winner!

Definitely gonna be a long weekend for me, as well. Thankfully I'm *finally* done with the build...
Thanks! Hopefully I won't need it.

Holy carp!
Every custom gun is amazing!
Just getting on the forum and getting to see the fine work has been worth it.
I do hope Weta or RPF do a book, or even just a poster of all the entries.
Well done everyone, inspiring stuff.

Nice work D48thRonin. I especially like the business end of the gun.

Been lurking, watching entries come in... I'm one of those "down to the wire" people, had really hoped I wouldn't be but things do come up. I let myself get hung up in design stages, too, and finally just had to chuck the sketchbook and go for it. Just finished a pretty epic battle getting the gun disassembled. Nothing like quality time with a heat gun in 110 heat index weather I think the Glue Person on the assembly line was feeling overzealous. I haven't cracked the sides apart, seems there's no hope on that one; so a little relieved others haven't done that, either...
It's going to be close, but I'll do everything I can to finish. Would certainly encourage anyone else who thought it's too soon to at least take a crack at painting it, if you haven't got time to go nuts with mods. It ain't over til the fat bison moos, right?
D48thRonin, seconded about the "business end", that's going to look so cool painted... love the lines of it.
Good luck to those who've finished, and to those who haven't especially

Hello. Just to clarify, are you extending it to the 31st now instead of the 30th? If so. Awesome. The more time the better.
