Hey! I saw your amazing thread on your Grenade Launcher. I've been away from these forums too long... Anyway, I saw you were making molds, and I was wondering how much you'd charge for a pull of a Grenade Launcher, and maybe a few rounds. My email is seth.p@live.com

Thanks guys! After this, I'm thinking about making a custom Mark IV suit with a recon helmet. You know, as an accessory to the Needle Rifle. :P We'll see how much time I have after I finish this project. I'll be starting college in a little over a month, and I'm also working on a science fiction...

More updates! I painted the bottom section that I had covered with flashing. The paint-job...well, it could have gone better. But I think it looks fairly decent. The overhead shots show all the pieces so far, and then a rough "sneak-peek" of what the finished piece should look like. Still...

Here's a few photos I think you guys might like... 8 needles down, 4 to go! These needle crystals are cast out of hot glue that was spread over clear plastic pen tubes. They actually turned out very well. This next image turned out blurry...I guess my camera doesn't like dark photos. Anyway...

Would that harden into something solid and rigid or would it be somewhat flexible?

I had to pay through the nose for these, but today I bought 3 packs of pink LEDs (2 per pack, so 6 in total) at Radio Shack ($3.49 per pack!! This is why I do not like buying components from Radio Shack. But we were there...) that I plan on using to light up the needles (still working on what...

Still no new pics just yet, Ive run into a few design issues, as well as some new ideas. I just got the idea of perhaps covering the build with aluminum flashing (like sheet metal but thinner). At first I thought Id just cover the exposed parts and the barrel, but now Ive decided to try and...

I would definitely love to get some of those needles for my Needle Rifle project. I just don't know how I would actually pay you for them...

I'd imagine! I know my local hardware store supplies it, so the next time I go up there I'll pick some up. I'm also looking to get a job there, so maybe I can get an employee discount if I do. :P

I was going to use fiberglass resin. I haven't had any experience with body filler. Is it used the same way as the resin would be? If it is better on cardboard than the resin is, I think I'll try it. Thanks everyone! I'll try to get some more pictures up sometime soon, maybe tomorrow.

Thanks! Right now I'm kind of stuck with the top segment with the needles coming out. Trying to get it to curve correctly is a pain. My friend recommended using those clear plastic rods that are on blinds to control the angle of the blades as the needles. I've also been working on the scope...

A while ago I got the idea in my head to build a Needle Rifle prop. So far I've finished the handgrip portion of the stock. The entire project is going to be built from cardboard with my own templates drawn up from pictures from Bungie and Halopedia. Strategically placed blocks of wood will be...

There could be more than one "Ark". The Ark on earth serves two purposes: It activates all the Halos at once, and also serves as a shelter to the uninfected. It is a shield, and a sword. The structure on Onyx fits the Term "Ark" verbetim; a shelter. Not that i'm saying the Ark in Halo 3 is Onyx...

I hope this doesn't affect my machinema project... I was going to do a whole backstory/forerunner/Ark thing (all I want to give away right now)... stupid microsoft... It's not like I'd be making a profit off of it, it would be distributed freely. grr!! :mad: :mad: (DO NOT STEAL MY MACHINEMA...

He means matting board, like framing material. I use the same stuff. Works great. You can find it at Micheal's or Ben Frankln's, or any framing/craft store. It comes in 2 variaties: Normal ($7.99 for 3x5 sheet) and Acid-Free (13.99 for 3x5 sheet). To get them by the sheet, just ask for however...
