still a wip since i'm probably gonna paint it a different gray since this crappy spray paint doesn't match and doesn't stay on well. made from the 07 leader gun and knee piece, mechanical pencil (those cheap bic ones with a translucent (transparent?) shaft), lego cap, and twisty ties for the handle. the front end of the pencil is a perfect fit for the barrel, slid and glued a semi-long twisty tie through it and coiled another twisty tie around the other end to act as a handle (had to do quite a bit of sanding to make it fit), covered the mess with a lego cap on the tip, and covered the open end of the handle with an 07 prime knee piece so it wouldn't swing around a lot. it's still a pretty loose fit but i don't really plan on having him hold it a lot, i was just bored

 

why'd you take the feet off your prime?

 

i took off the red toe hinge to paint gray and it's easier to work with only the feet

 

nice work man.

I did something similar...


The barrel is from one of those cheap-o aluminum paint brushes (sorta like the ones in rubber cement cap) I added some random kibble to the sides and added styrene inside so they fit tight onto his hands.

 

Sweet monkey balls. both those are sick.

 

fr is the master at coming up with stuff like this haha. i wish that someone would make guns that look like the "rifle" thing he has in the movie. a good base would be the mp prime gun, like what encline has going

 

I think I'm going to scratch-build a gun for him using copper and aluminum pipes.

 

looking forward to that

 

Thanks bro. It is getting there!!!! When yours get painted it will look great!!

 

This looks pretty good if you ask me. If I could find my 07 primes gun, I'd be looking to do something with it as a decent base for primes weaponry

 

thanks. i actually plan on keeping it a plain gray with a few, if any, details. if i tricked it out then i'd be inclined to detail prime and i always mess up/never finish them, i still have some wips that are almost 2 years old on the paint table haha. i might add a bit of blue and red here and there though

 

I have commenced work on the scratch-build gun.
