second year project of the XGP from outlaw star

here is a model i made for one of my second year projects, i have always loved the anime show outlaw star and jumped at the chance to make the xgp as a model.

its made from high density yellow foam and the engines are made from the same but cast using silicone and fast cast resin so they are exact.

district 9 gun pics

here you can see the lighting mechanism i didnt get it nicely finished as a put it all together an hour before the deadline. i was happy that it worked but not as the power of the batterys was not high enough to get the full brightness i wanted

i will post a pic of it working but at the moment ive taken it apart for transport.

i can post some of the making of pictures if people would like to see whats inside

district 9 gun

so my deadline for my major model came to an end, and i didn't get the model finished. it was so close only a week or two behind schedule. there still needs some sanding and filing and the laser cut detail to be placed on, plus the tubing ontop.
this was my first university project of my third year and i planned to make the AMR B43 gun as a film prop/ promotion piece

i was happy with the way it turned out every thing i proposed for the gun was completed; had to be a ridged and Strong prop pieces a ligthting and trigger mech and also removable cylinders for quick change if damage accrues

i will be putting pics up next post
