Doctor Who: Cybermen gun

It wasn't really ready to be pressed, but the table was already set up, and I just could not help myself.
Well I'm very happy with how she turned out, I had it with me today at the east coast prop party but know one knew what it was. I need to show this thing to some "Who" fans and get their response. If you know of a forum that has a lot of Dr Who fans please let me know.
I have to say it looks great finished :eek, real nice job :thumbsup.

My only minor thought looking at it is that the fins on the top (the ones above the trigger) need to be spaced out a little further apart.

Apart from that it looks pretty spot on (y)thumbsup(y)thumbsup.

Try these Dr Who sites out they will definitely recognise the weapon :lol:-

Thank you so much every body. There are a few small problems with the proportions, but seeing as my table saw burned up earlier this month there is nothing I can do about it at this time. I'll have to come back to this item at a later date.

As I said, apart from the (very minor) fins problem it looks pretty good to me as is!

Its fairly difficult to size/scale a prop from photos, I think you have done a teriffic job, and the finished vac form is very cool indeed.
If you paraded it in front of us hardcore Who proppers over here in the U.K. , you certainly wouldnt get nit picked, so pat yourself on the back. Its instantly recognisable as preacher gun.

There are only few who prop websites over here, try http://whoprops.proboards.com/index.cgi

No one in the who world is as picky as the Garrison people are over their Star bores props, if it looks good do it!!!!

In fact Id love a pair of presses myself to add to my who guns .

Well done.
 
Inspired by MrNotWrongs work , and using Damster and Clanger 68`s photos as refrence,
I decided to build the huge Gun Rose uses in the episode "stolen earth".
This is a Preacher gun like MrNotWrongs but with extra additions shown in Clangers pictures.

I started by printing out some of Damsters photos , and using a picture of Rose holding the gun , and scaling it against my wife who is the same height as Billie Piper, I camu up with a pencil drawing that I cut out to use as a template for the profile.

I transfered this to a piece of MDF to use as the backbone of the piece.

I then used varying thicknesses of MDF to build up the profile and details.

Then I just continued with the mdf, continually comparing it to the photos on previous pages of this thread and adjusting dimensions as I went along .

Basically I used the tools and experience from making my Dalek to allow this build to happen.

Its currently finished except for the side decal and stencilled number on the stock.

That's a really beautiful piece, you should be very proud of it. :thumbsup

00MrNotWrong00 has kindly gifted me with a copy of his Preacher gun and I will (in the fullness of time) add the Rose modifications to it, hope mine will come out half as good as the one you have built. :)

I'm really impressed with your gun CatfoodRob! Glad you found my pics useful! It makes the time I spent leaning awkwardly over a display cabinet embarrassing my girlfriend well worth it! :lol
 
Both these builds are fantastic! Thank you for showing them off. I may have to give one a try.

Does anyone know where I can find some reference pics of the Daleks in Manhatten tommy gun? It is just too cool.

Wizaedofflight, if you want me to email you all the photos I have of teh tommy gun , just drop me a p.m. with your broadband email addy ...
 
I know you were ....I just hit the wrong smiley button after the goatee comment ... :lol:lol

These big Dr Who guns are SO cool to play with ..Im suprised more of the American RPFers dont have a go at them .
We had a prop party at a DrWho event recently here in the U.K. and we had quite a few Dr Who guns present. I had my BFG and tommy gun , Birdie had his bolt gun and torchwood guns, and another guy (not a member here) had the Ice Gun that Rose uses in the ep "Girl in the Fireplace"
Trouble is, the display was that mobbed by spectators all weekend, that I dont think we got any photos...
