My Non Halo Scratch Weapons

[darthturkey]

One is a pistol ( No true name I really modelled it after nothing so....)
The other is (Hopefully) an Ak-47. The stock im still contemplating putting on. The AK im making though will be a merge of cardboard and Pepakura. Seeing as the front grips by the barrel were attempted by me about 10 times and i couldnt do it im deciding ill make a quikie 3d model and Pep it out ( Or atleast try)

I just have one question about finishing these two props. How should I go about detailed and hardening these. Could i use the regular method with fiberglass resin and Bondo. Or is there another method.

Nice weapons, but using USPS boxes for non shipping purposes is illegal.

hmmm....did I just hear illegal? What do you meen by illegal?

Using the goverment's money for your own use is illegal, the use for the box was to be a container to ship an item with, cutting up the original use is breaking the original intention of the box, which is illegal.

You can order like 100 boxes for free to your door, or you can grab the whole stack at the post office, but they must be used for shipping, not projects. For free boxes, go to the super market and ask for free CB.

Wow i just got the idea from http://405th.com/forums/index.php?showtopi...1&hl=hunter. My mom has about a billion in the basement and ships stuff all the time. So really dont think of it as me using 100 or more for my purpose.

So will DarthTurkey get in big trouble? Will the cops knock on the door saying your busted beeeyach!

 

[darthturkey]

Kinda of off track but any input on the hardening and smoothing?

EDIT: Sorry double post just realized after i hit post.

Resin the outside, drill a small hole, pour in melted hot glue.

Ok hardening solved. Would regular bondo work for detailing.

What, shipping boxes are free in USA?

Dang, I just paid like 10 bucks for one :'(

Great start on your models and yes, Bondo works for detailing.
