Hey! Since I decided to make Jun, I decided to get cracking on painting my Sniper Rifle. Here’s what I have so far. All I have left to do is add some minor details, finish painting and Make the scope.
Because I don’t have money to burn (due to new iPod, Jun Armor, College, etc.), for now I am making a normal lens scope. Hopefully, I plan to implement my NV scope though…someday…
Wow man this is looking pretty freaking sweet. I don't know if you've answered this. I didn't see it in the thread, but is it going to be funtional after you finish. Or will it be just for show?
Well to be functional, I need to install a secondary Airsoft spring so the dart can get out of the barrel. Unfortunately, that wears down HEAVILY on the cheap Nerf plastic. So the answer is partially, when I need it functional, I'll replace the core gun with a different recon core.
Good idea for the scope setup. Just for future reference, the "camera" is called a Low-Level Infrared Sensor, as I recall.
For my ODST helmet, I wanted to make a set of sniper goggles that can flip down over the visor, with a camera lens in the main lens, with zoom capabilities, and an IR rig in the secondary. But, I had no idea how I was going to integrate the IR to the camera display.
Thanks! I'm doing the same with my ODSTs, but We haven't been able to muster the money for the HUDs...
great progress! your using the pepakura scope right?
For now, no. But eventually, and I MEAN EVENTUALLY, Ill be using the pepakura to make my NV Scope. For now, however, i'm just using a painted longshot scope :/
so ive been looking for monitors for an in helmet night vision, is the monitor you are using in the scope small enough to fit in a helmet? and where would i get one?
The HUD is the headset for an SpyGear ATV 360 R/C car. Since the camera is analog output, it can be converted to interface with an analog device (my NV Camera). The car costs $117 (funny coincidence, right?) so its a bit expensive, but we're working on it.
