This project has become something of a labour of love - a complete scratch-build that has taken me seven months to get to something I'm pretty happy with.

The end result is a 14-piece resin kit that weighs in at a very hefty 1 kilo when built up :cool

The pics:

I made a second build-up with the pods open and firing up

Guns and girls

Hope you like

Too much hassle. I'm not really a big fan of props with electronics.

Hi! Great looking gun prop! Did you ever make any of these as kits? I would love to have a couple of them! Now that the Gantz Live action Movie is playing, there may be a new market for this.

Best!

I remember when you presented this as a 3d mesh and it was nice looking then. Looks even better now!

I still have the molds, but they were quite expensive to produce, lots of resin, and the market wasn't that big.

I didn't make the meshes, that was Marc (Le Marchand). Mine was scratch built. I've seen Marc's meshes in all their 3-D glory, and it would be a beautiful piece if he ever decides to produce it!

Meshes are indeed mine. I will have to wait to turn it into a solid prop until i have my own CNC machine as i was quoted $2500 and up to have the pieces machined out of plastic, yikes!

I think my gantz action figure had 2 of those or they looked really close to the shape. i got her cheap for a custom. That is one impressive kit and it looks great.
