link It will look better once you paint it. I actually thought you were going to make a real firing plasma rifle and was about to advise you on a plasma pistol because it would be less power hungry and less likely to catch you on fire.

well, thanks for the linkage, on other forum places copying and pasting works just fine. In the future, i plan to make a whole nother one, but next time with better tools and make it better looking.

Interesting...look good.

Yes if you can get it to fire, than by all means, let the gun fight begin.

you mean the "model plasma gun" or the technology trekkie is talking about? if its the model, looks can be deceiving. its actually really really lightweight. thats just styrofoam covered in bondo

LOL

I hope I'm not discouraging you by posting this but it's so good ppl gotta see it. I saw this on a Halo site nearly a month ago and remembered it as soon as I saw your post. Carved from solid oak, airbrushed also.

Not bad. Tell us when you finish painting, hopefully it will look as life-like as the second picture of the plasma rifle.

or you can modify it so that you can insert one of those glo-sticks, then you can have fun in the dark!


BTW, great job!

ok... worked a little on it today, i figured out that the rear fins were totally wrong, so i fixed that, and i used paper mache (too impatient to wait for bondo to dry) to fill in the holes and ugly spots, theres a picture here
I also made a temporary stand so i can paint it better.

No signature found. Click here to change this.

Not bad. A little clunky, not quite as sleek as the one in the game, but pretty good job, there!

  • 09.04.2006 7:18 PM PDT

lol

Looking nice! Add some glowsticks or some paint that glows in the dark, so you get like a real plasma tube ;o;o
