My take on the Needler

#1

01-14-2012, 12:25 AM

Hey, I just completed a Needler I started to pep last year in my breaks at work and now its the fun part

here is the beast actually I scale it down a bit 20% I'm not a real 7 foot tall Spartan.

Resin on the ext

On the int it didn't cure right so I had to help it a bit, did some hole for venting put some air inside and heath lights.

After Rondo the inside and Fill it up with urethane foam

And some ruff sanding to remove sharp edges

There's still a lot of work to be done, I'm planning to do a 3 parts mold of it, the top part will be removable to acccess the electronic/Leds and the rest of the gun in two half's.

More in the weeks to come.

I can't wait to see it finished! I love the Needler, and to see a prop, much less one that lights up, will be epic!

@ Katsu: my fav gun to, especially in Firefight

@ BSlapNinja87: it is small but very well detail

@ DrummerD00d717: epic in deed if all goes according to plan

Thx Hyper and UNSC LT

@ dega666: I will build a tall one 8" in Bondo, do a silicon mold of it, then poor some clear casting resin, once its cure and remove from the mold cut at the various lengths needed and stick it on the "cover" of the needler.

Small update on the needler, I got the ronded shape done on the top and bottom.

And primed to make it easier to see where it need more work.

the next step is detailling to match this pic

I've done a needle model out of bondo, a rubber mold on it and a test piece with easyflow liquid plastic.

It came out great now I need to find a clear casting plastic that can be tinted pink, and build 3/16 walls, to reduce the weight and get the lights(maybe elwire) inside the needles.

Anybody got some suggestions ?

judging by your MK IV build i think your needler will turn out awesome, can't wait to see more.

Maybe you could make the needles out of some less opaque material and have them lit up with red/pink LED lights by casting them in it.
