renegadecow Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Long story made short, a friend of mine wanted me to make him a sci-fi gun out of his MP5K. This was way back in January. The problem is that he changes his mind like a fish changes direction in water so the actual design never took shape and stagnated into a muddy puddle of ideas. I made the HERA and he grew kinda ###### so he gave me the go ahead in deciding just what it was that he wanted. OK. Quick looksie into the interwebs and I fish this out: Its a gun loosely called ORE-GUN 3 which is a number from a set done up by some guy named Windfall. He produced several other sets ranging from whole custom mobile suit designs to small arms for Gundam mostly. These never appeared officially in any series and are more like adaptations made by a famous artist. Why the ORE-GUN 3 is because it matches most of the criteria demanded for the build. It was given the thumbs up except that I omit the magazine sticking upwards in the back. Simple prop up. Two halves glued with a tube positioned for looks. Base partially done with modified M4 hi-cap magazine mocked up. SPAS stock? Looked fine for me but my friend is cheap; won't fork up any more dough. Drum mag catch done.

renegadecow Posted August 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Working. Shooting. But primed only. Say's he'll have another friend do the paint scheme, which would probably take another 6 months for him to decide on the colors. I kinda like it in plain gray though, maybe just a little darker. May not look it but this thing's HUGE! Link to post Share on other sites

he who hides in bush Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Are you going to paint it a differant color? Link to post Share on other sites
BFOUR Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Are you going to paint it a differant color? Read the post Looks amazing. Your like a PVC master haha Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted August 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Material is PVC. The blue kind behaves similar to ABS but a little tougher. Orange variety is relatively weaker but I made up for it in wall thickness (4mm drum mag). I'll post the gun when its painted as it won't be done by me, but who knows really when that will be. The original (see first pic) is a 3 color scheme of gun metal gray, dark gray, and light gray. edit: I'd also like to add that all this was done without the help of a Dremel. My rotary tool broke down after making the HERA so you could imagine the nightmare of having to go through details manually. Power tools used were a jigsaw, drill, and angle grinder just to speed up the process. Link to post Share on other sites
DesertFoxRomel Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 as always, good work and I enjoy watching you turn simple PVC tubing into works of art Link to post Share on other sites
Horsem4n Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT!!!!!!!!!!! THAT IS SICK! definitely insperational my friend. you should house some small RDS in the front hood. Link to post Share on other sites
Bane Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 I really am impressed, your making me want to go out and buy some PVC and have a good tinker with it.. What sort of glue do you use? and do you use a fairing compound to smooth all the surfaces out? Also, can we get a photo of it assembled with the SPAS-12 stock that looks epic Link to post Share on other sites
Isamu Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Tears of joy run through my cheek... that gun is EPIC AWESOME but I think I speak for everyone here when I ask for a tutorial or the sheet with sizes and shape of the pieces Link to post Share on other sites
Triggerhappychappy Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 That is incrediblely well finshed considering you used an angle grinder of all things, lol. Do you ever build stuff for fun (to keep or sell, without having been commisioned as such?)- with your skillz I foresee a PulseRifle build being rather easy.... Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted August 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 I foresee a PulseRifle build being rather easy.... Eh? But yeah, that too was a project for someone else (which is also why its in silver, an officers model apparently. Green was for the grunts). A mans gotta eat. For things that I do for myself out of fun, at the top of my head there's the M22. I've stopped using it unfortunately since the GBB bug bit me. However I am trying to figure out how to install WE SCAR internals in it. What sort of glue do you use? SPAS-12 stock I use 888 Greco, an industrial grade cyanoacrylic adhesive. I'll mock up the stock back on when the paintjobs done. ask for a tutorial or the sheet with sizes and shape of the pieces A lot of the parts I made for this one I made on the fly (measure once, cut twice ) so I can only give you rough measurements until I get my hands on it again. You could start from sheet PVC or make your own by first flattening sections of pipe. As for how to manipulate the pieces, its all just a matter of cutting out the flat parts and gluing them together; not very different from model making actually except that you have to make the parts first. you should house some small RDS in the front hood. I know. I kept telling that to my friend arguing that the 'real' thing is supposed to house a camera seeing as you can't possibly aim through it with that giant magazine in the way and a RDS would be the best analog for human use. Says he'll consider it on a later date. Link to post Share on other sites
Gooberz Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 That's awesome, I love your work. The Spas stock looks ace, but I can also appreciate your friend's thriftiness. I never really expected to see an Mp5K used like that. You know what would be really ace? A Spectre M4. That Pulse Rifle is of interest to me, I'm going to PM you about it.

Killbucket Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Somewhere, I have a CAD drawing of a HeavyArms, Dual Minigun "thing". Now that I got a dual minigun sorted out, it would be a no-brainer to make two of them in boxes. Link to post Share on other sites
