Just a quick update as things have been pretty busy on my end. I finally have the whole thing assembled as you can see from the pic. If you are wondering why it is brown that is because I needed a primer that wasn't white or gray to help me see patches that needed more work. I still have to...

I haven't posted in a while, but things are progressing. Tons of sanding and filling and sanding to do. Figured I would post a pic of all the roughed out pieces. This thing really is massive. The picture doesn't really do it justice.

Which slush cast resin do you typically use? I've used quite a few smooth-on products, but haven't tried the foam. Might have to give that a try considering the size of this beast.

Without the metal rods installed it should only weigh about 5 pounds. I didn't get my scale out yet but probably only 7 or 8 when its done and painted. The cast versions will just depend on how much material i use, but they will probably be closer to 10 -15 if I can keep the weight down on the...

This thread got double posted somehow....the active thread is here for anyone else that ends up here by accident

Thanks. I figured it anyone would appreciate the pics you would. I've been running it at 0.06mm which is probably better than I need, but I only wanted to print this beauty once. Hopefully I convince the wife to let me mold and cast this thing, and when she does you'll have to let me send you...

I started a new thread with my pics of this build out if you want to see it in progress here

Hey everybody, I figured I would splinter off of the other model threads and start another one just to have the progress on my build of mBlackwell1002's Arclight 3D Model. I actually started with CPO Mendez's railgun model and I am actually continuing the buildout with both models since they...

I have been testing two alterations to the Rail Gun model. The first is to add a 1/4" hole throughout the entire model (technically two holes one for each side the of the rail gun. This will fit either a 1/4" wooden dowel or 1/4" metal conduit. It will have a bit of extra room then just 1/4"...

Sure post this AFTER I'm already 10 days into my print of Mendez' model ;) such a tease.

I agree with kaween. If I was doing this again I would also set up the model so that it had joints that fit together for the individual pieces so you know they are aligned properly. Almost all of the work so far has been fixing those seams. On the superglue comment from kaween, the only reason...

First pic of my Halo Rail Gun Print. So far I have 7 of the 16 pieces printed (8th should finish tonight). By my calculations it will take just over 480 hours of print time and 2.2 KG of filament using the print settings I have (I can post these later). I have been using superglue to join the...

Just start 3D printing the Railgun...can't wait to start assembling and painting. I will post pictures as I go along. Thanks for the contribution CPO Mendez
