So I have been around the internet lately and I've been looking for District 9 weapons. I have only just found a side image of the ARC-GUN that mister homo-sapien/Alien dude uses on some of the MNU mercenaries at MNU headquarters. Other than that, I have found nothing at all what-so-ever on the other weapons. I saw D9 three hours ago. BIG FAN OF THE BATTLEMECH BATTLESCENE BY-THE-WAY. And DON'T tell me to SEARCH BUTTON because I've done that for about 30 minutes, not-to-mention looking on GOOGLE and YAHOO for images for about 47 minutes now, If you HAVE seen a topic just like this (POLITLY SAY THIS: We have already read a topic like this, All we can do is to tell and ask you to keep trying, don't worry you'll eventually find what you are looking for.), and I'll say thank you and a few other things. I'm thinking about making some of the weapons and make kits for a limited for the first 5 casts, then make casts as plastic and funding permit. But mostly I'll be focusing mostly on the ARC-GUN, but do not fear, I will make models of the other guns, it's just I'll be making more arc's than the other guns. My friend is working on halo pepakura, I will be focused on making D9 alien weapons and custom armor for my game I'm going to start working on, also I'll be working custom D9 paint schemes for D9 weapons.

I saw an official prop of the arc gun on e-bay...went for around $1500. Very nice. Wish I had the money. =P
 
I liked the first gun that Wickus used when he first tried to buy weapons. it was like a gravity gun. that is the one i want to make. But that zapper that he used to storm MNU was really cool. Kinda intimidating. If i saw that, I wouldnt want it pointed at me. lol

Well from looking at it a prop one could easily be made using PVC parts and Pink Foam board. Great now you people have me thinking about building one of these things.
 
Don't know if people are still looking for reference but Weta posted some cool concept art a while back:

Keep in mind that it is concept art so there are differences between that and what is in the film.

Still good stuff though, I've been using it to build some digital models that I may use to make physical props :D

Also the latest issue of Cinefex (#119) and the next issue of Imagine FX (#50, not sure if it's out yet) have some District 9 stuff in them too.
 
Thanks for that Belakor. I may not get around to building anything from District 9 for quite sometime, but that doesn't mean I'm not willing to grab any and all reference pictures that I can now. :D
 
Began new stuff — AMR B21. Some small elements will be corrected (a lot of details, borders, alien texts).

Old topic but I think I'll toss in a note I have one of the D9 guns on the Tamasoft Pep Gallery it needs to be unfolded but it's there for anyone who wants it I think it was the Arc Gun.
