What's on your workbench? (no Star Wars, Marvel or DC stuff)

Working on designing and printing a GAU-18 .50 cal which is based on the Browning M2 as seen in this picture:

The M2 and its variants, is probably one of the most common weapons seen in movies.

My Spider-man/Marvel theme workspace (although I can work anywhere with paper):

Foam stage is on halt at the moment, so in the meantime I test as many paper armor parts as I can for dimensions and practicality until the motivation comes back:

Gradually closing the fingers by sideways spiraling downwards, gluing the tabs at an angle in tight quarters was tough, even when starting with the finger tips.The tabs ocassionally tore and trying to press and hold them down inside the finger was a challenge, but there she is.
That being said: eventhough I haven't made a full costume yet in five years time :cautious: without this fine community I wouldn't have printed a single paper strip, so thank you all for having me here and ocassionally helping me out.You are all awesome

Just finished an EVA foam beverage insulator using a template from SKS Props. It fits a medium size plastic Solo cup so it actually can be used for beer!IMG_7892 square logo.jpgIMG_7894 square logo.jpgIMG_7895 square logo.jpgIMG_7896 square logo.jpgIMG_7897 square logo.jpg
 
I came across this rarely seen photo of the screen-used Han Solo Hero DL-44 prop and couldn’t believe my eyes. I can just make out what appears to be “Star Wars” branding on the left-hand side of the studio-made original. If so, how has this detail been missing from our replicas, for all of these years? Now, bear with me as I am sure that only I can see the before-mentioned branding so easily....

Look what happens when I zoom in and enhance the image, using very sophisticated A.I. technology.

Now, I am going to argue that that this image shows a weathered “Star Wars” logo, which makes sense as George was thinking about merchandising, even as he was making the film. Unless, of course, this was added during the “Special Edition” which is, I suppose, possible—but nonetheless brilliant.

In any case, armed this knowledge of this newly revealed detail, I began accurizing some of my DL-44’s, this afternoon.

I’ll also be adding what appears to be a secondary trigger button in the handle of all my replicas, moving forward.

Mr Mold Maker Your passion is what you like doing best and that's great, even better if you can make a living from it.
Happy for you that you get a kick out of this(y) and no: Star Wars never gets old:p
 
Currently working on an underbarrel launcher from BSG. I downloaded the STL from Thingiverse and only after printing discovered it was designed for the original FN 5-7. So I downloaded a STL for a rail cover that would fit my Airsoft 5-7 and Frankensteined them together.
And a lot of filling and sanding it's almost ready for paint.
