Strap a few GAS TANKS to the side of her and camouflage her to look like a GAS HAULER !
Course you will need the MARTIAN Navy Gatling Gun options on your (gunship).
We need a PHONE APP for the Car:
It would be funny to ADD MENU options like Target Lock - Open Airlock - Fire Torpedoes - Release Docking Clamps. Someone should market an idea for NOVEL programmable features and sounds in the car navigational GPS or Electronic options menu. Instead of an open door warning bell - the Computer would announce - HULL BREACH DETECTED.
There has to be a PHONE APP !!! An "Expanse" Phone App you can mount in your car. Hit the button on the APP and receive the transmission from Holden's broadcast - "Remember the CANT !" I wish I could write code . . . . .
LOVE THE WALLPAPER !!!

Re: The Expanse: Prop Weapons
There is one actually, by Iron Airsoft. Supposedly only 200 made (20DS model only) and retails for over $700! Sketchy as hell as there are literally no pictures or reviews of it outside of what the manufacturer gave out and the only store that carried it eventually dropped it to $400 and was shortly sold out. Not actually sure if they sold out, if they were pulled from stock, or never existed to begin with because there are still no pics/vids of the ones that were presumably sold.
Re: The Expanse: Prop Weapons
The Airsoft Rhino was produced. I own one. I will post a picture of it. it could be cast and the Long Barrel Scratch built to piece together Millers Pistol. Yes the retail was $ 700.00. The Real gun retails for about $ 900.00 to $ 1100.00 if you can find it in stock. There may be less than five hundred Airsoft Rhino's ever produced.

ProtoGEN Advanced Assault Rifle
OK - I could not wait. I bought the Airsoft Guns that are the Base guns for the Second ProtoGEN Rifle. Be here in a week. Build pictures will follow.
Just going to do a single Scratch Build to modify it to the Rifle.
The ProtoGEN Magpul FSP Rifle/Pistol will be done in a 3D model. The Shell will be made in a one time Scratch build over reproduction Magul FSP. I don't think the $ 50 reproduction is 1:1 Scale - I think they made it into a 2:3 scale "toy" size. But I need to check that out. I am not cannibalizing my FSP for this rifle. But i might reproduce it.
I and experimenting with the Star Helix kit.

Re: The Expanse: Prop Weapons
Yaay! I posted some screencaps of the grenade launcher here: https://gndn.wordpress.com/2016/02/13/the-expanse-protogen-grenade-launchers/
And here: https://gndn.wordpress.com/2016/01/17/the-expanse-bad-guy-weapons/
You can see in the newer caps that the launchers have some subtle graphics on them. I suspect the pistols / rifles do as well.
It's possible there are more found parts on the launchers, but it's hard to tell given the quality of the images.

Re: The Expanse: Prop Weapons
the screen caps are AWESOME !!! We are going to figure out these details. I will post pictures as things progress. I am prepping the Martian main pistol - have to buy some more clay. I am still working on the specs for the Martian pistol and measurements.
Thanks Mike !

Re: The Expanse: Prop Weapons
After much Googling, I managed to ID the base of the explosive charge the 'rockhopper' Diogo plants for Uncle Mateo.
It is a Benro monopod base, model VT2. MSRP $34 US. It's not even painted
This appears to be substantially similar to the Benro ST1, so either may be a safe bet, though the ST1 seem to be slightly more expensive. They may differ in size or materials.
I still do not know exactly which lamp was used.

ProtoGEN Rifle/Pistol - Magpul FPG Photos
Attached are some detail shots of the Magpul FPG airsoft version they used as a base gun for the Protogen Rifle. The pistol is unique and has a folding stock. I have seen used ones on Ebay. I have also seen that if the rifle is used in the field - some players break off the folding stock. I have seen broken ones on Ebay for 1/3 the original price as a "for parts item." A broken one with the stock snapped off could be converted to the Protogen Pistol version. Although it is possible to remove the stock - it is not designed to do that.
Here are some pictures:

P&K type helmet masters were made from a mix of 3D printed parts & sculpted clay.

Re: The Expanse: Prop Weapons
Uniformed Star Helix Belt Flashlight
These appear to be the FoxFury 300-010 "Scout Tasker Fire" in the black case, or the "Scout Tasker Safety" 300-004. There are 3 similar models with special wavelength LEDs that are twice the price. The baseline models retail for $49 US.

Re: The Expanse: Prop Weapons
Eros Civilian Flashlight
The Erotian civilian we meet is carrying a large, yellow flashlight on his belt. It is the FoxFury BT2 in yellow. MSRP $142 US.
He is also carrying one of the Scout Tasker flashlights.

Re: The Expanse: Prop Weapons
Working on various props. Issues are resolved.
In surfing the Web for ALL THINGS - Expanse - I stumbled across a free download site for 3D models of various EXPANSE prop including LOGOS and the Rocinate.
(oops - looks like I was the last one on the internet to find this like. Looks like many others have already posted it.)
