well, here is the story: once upon a time i decided to make a plasma rifle in real life. the end. and its come quite far. i just need to paint and adjust some stuff. hopefully it wont look too cheesy once im done with it. i dont know how to post pictures, but i do know how to link to them, so heres a link to a picture of what it looks like right now: http://www.putfile.com/pic.php?img=3314607 actually, it looks really cheesy.

If you'll take time to really do a sanding on the handle and then if you were to make the outside edges of the front 2 blocks slant inward it will look even better...
Can't wait to see it painted.

this is also what my hands start to look like after a base coat of blue.
(thanks to the flash, the color on the gun looks brighter. really its a deep navy blue.)

alright...i kinda was a bit lazy today and didnt do any work on it, school being in and all. but i did get alot of the detail work done last night. it looks pretty good, but ive never been good at painting stuff, so it looks funny, but better than it used to. theres a link to the picture here
all thats left is to fix the ugly spots and put the final coat of clear paint on it to give it a shiny look. I am deciding whether to sell it on ebay or wherever for the !@# load of cash br44 is talking about, (i know that somebody will buy it...) or keep it and be master of teh lan party.

anyway...thats all for tonight folks...

lol

Look at the plasma rifle, it is basically one big glowstick! Lol! You need glowsticks.. GO GLOWSTICKS!!

If not, get some bright blue spray paint, and lightlty spray where the blue plasma is held, so it looks like its glowing [so you get a linear fade from the base colour and detials to the glowy blue] if you get me.

your plasma rifle looks awesome. what's with the little stick in front of the handle though?

Rockin' great job! You should defanitely submit that to HBO.

However, The Maw isn't the place for fan-made stuff. Next time, you should use The Underground or The Flood.

All you need to go with that Plasma Rifle now is a nice set of MJOLNIR body armor. ;)

Nice job.. if you want some constructive criticism try using a smaller brush head so you can get finer lines and make it even more realistic.
Also don't go with glowsticks- they wear after a couple of days.... unless you can make it so that they are replaceable without ruining the gun.

I have an idea on how to make it better.! To have it fire , or light, or something, get a whole bunch of disposable cameras, and remove the flash bulbs. Attach the flash bulbs up to the same circuit and cover them in blue cellophane. be sure to wire them in series with five or six D cell batteries as the source. what you use for the trigger is up to you.

personally, i would use four circuits, each with two or three flash bulb, two D Batteries, and for the triggers you could line up shutter buttons from four of the disposable cameras (one for each circuit, and each circuit would have a click wheel to "recharge" the weapon. With four circuit controlled by their own button, you can get off multiple shots before spinning the click wheels

if you decide to do a plasma pistol later on, i suggest you use C Batteries, because they are more compact, and will fit easier into that tight space. Also, use green cellophane, for a very obvious reason. To get the bigger plasma blast, just press all four triggers at once.

NOTE: When using the big plasma blast, be aware that battery consumption will increase; two C Batteries may not be sufficient to light all flashbulbs at once.

oh, that is a good idea for Halloween, or the Halo Movie premier! ...maybe i should.........
anybody know where i can get some Mjolnir Battle Armor?
, i'm making a pistol that shoots elastic bands. I haven't figured out the charged blast yet, but i'm working on it.
