[Spartan 110]

[adreniline]

Just saw the new picatures, I'm astonished.

 

[FAII3N ANG3I]

great work keep it up

It Looks great so Far, Do you plan on putting a red laser in it? :mrgreen:

 

[mnm enterprises]

lol i do. I have a laser sight that didnt fit on my gun. It has a wire connection that would normally run from the laser to the pistol grip with a button you press to turn the laser on and when you let it go it turns off.

The barrel of the laser looks just like a flashlight so thats gonna be easy. I have been working on my pepakura helmet (fiberglassing is going easier than expected) so i havent had time to work on the laser but i do plan to spend some time on it tomorrow. I purchased an x-acto knife and some sandpaper today. I have to go back tomorrow and get somemore styrofoam boards.

to me it looks more like a Lightsabers handle but thats just me.

 

[Warmonger]

not bad im ussually skeptical about using foam for anything buy this has seemed to have turned out nicely
good job ;-)

 

[fredman555]

it looks pretty good so far. i really want to see how this life sezed laser looks like in the end

if it was me, id probably get lazy at this stage and keep it 2D-ish.

 

[Warmonger]

hmmm
im gonna have to try this now except im defenitelygoing to use wood so i can make a plastic mold

 

[mnm enterprises]

Thats great, you can use that diagram of the laser i posted, its 98cm. That pic is at 100% but i just put it in paint and increased the size to 125% because 98cm (Halopedia says that is the size of the laser) is too small.

 

[Warmonger]

cool
im going to home depot tommorrow to buy wood
did halopedia say how wide it was
(i cant get on to halopedia idk why!!)

 

[mnm enterprises]

No it didnt i dont know why, but i think those dimensions are wrong because they are too small for me let alone the cheif. I got the rest of my materials today so i might put up some more pics tonight or tomorrow.

 

[Warmonger]

yay more pics
what width is your laser and what width do you recommend

 

[mnm enterprises]

I'm eyeballing the width, but basically like 5 - 5 1/2 inches. These boards are like 1 - 1 1/4 inches thick and im using 5 of them. I only have two cut out so far, im done for the night tho.

 

[mnm enterprises]

Couldnt sleep last night so i got started.

Sadness........ I'm getting fat again.

 

[Mobeus]

Dude, that's pretty badass!
Anxiously awaiting your next move
