I have recently built a movie prop Minigun M134, similar to the Terminator 2 movie weapon. Like the gun in the first Predator flick, it has a full back pack, but the carry yoke is like the one in the second Terminator film. This was made under contract for a movie director who I'm not at liberty to name.
Suffice to say, get a real good look at it, you may recognize it elsewhere soon...
Made of 6mm ABS sheet, CAD designed and CNC produced, this is my most detailed minigun M134 to date. It has a remote operation control box, and runs on twinned 18v batteries from Harbor freight cordless drills, one of which gave its drive motor and transmission.
I'll be posting a massive gallery of the build pics of the minigun soon, but for now, you can see dozens of pictures of the finished movie prop here: http://www.air-sharp.com/killbuckets_miniguns_tour_2.htm

The Para- model anything is Uber-cool...I was always "gonna make" a copy of the .22 cal. "survival" rifle.
-
That is SO cool.
I need to assemble the last 1919 body I have here!
-
I would think it would have to be BIG.
I made a small one out of an LPEG P90 part a while back.
I only have one image, a GIANT one, so it's linked, to spare the dial-up folks.

WOW.
Nice stuff...The only thing missing from those last two, is...
Rust!
-
Cool stuff!
Wifey's illness has kept me fairly busy...nice to see all these new things here!
More of these things to make this year, I think, because I didn't keep one for ME!
I can't believe I found this Old vid I'd made, forgotten, and re-discovered here.
Arnie's ROCKS!!!!

Cross your eyes see this pic in 3D.

Nope, just add the period-correct sniping sights to this thing!
Maybe wood-grain the airsoft mag showing underneath?
-
Very nice...and very determined, work!
-
NICE work on that!!!
My heart goes out to you, in that moment you start to cover that fine creation with common spray paint.
An incredible effort. Hats off.

"2ndbat" on WW2AA makes custom Garands.
Slowly but surely, we-re getting gats that aren't based on "Movie Hero Guns".
Somebody out there has money for an airsoft Martini-Henry. Dreyse Needleguns, Chassepots too.
Hell, AGM could take their old MP 40's and put the guts into Chauchats- they'd be nice and faulty, just like the real-steel!
What I'm working on:
Arnold's 1919 Hip-fire from T3.

There WERE pistol Tommy's...

It's a clone. It is now the Warhawk thompson seen on the last page. The nice one behind it is a real Marui (that sounds just silly), and it is also on the previous page, but all aged up.
I know this isn't a WobblyWobblyEyeEye gun, but since we're on the subject of gun heresy, I'll show the first gun I ever painted.
Previously, I built car models and RC trucks, the pattern is all skulls if you look close.
The prototype for the Stingers I made, but from a 1919 instead of an ANM2.
My backyard water cannon. Instead of an airsoft gun, it has a high pressure nozzle and a valve for a trigger.
Last year we had a small group of motor-skateboard boys that would howl by at 2:00AM like clockwork.
The wife couldn't reach them with the garden hose, so I built this for her.
It works great on city line pressure (nearly 80psi, I checked it), but it really lofts the H2O with a Morse pump fed from the swimming pool. You can put a good five gallons sixty feet into the air, and have it land a block or so away. After a couple of nasty "localized rainstorms", they started going the other way around the block. Problem solved, and nobody got blood on their shoes.

Heresy? I can do heresy all day...
You've seen both of these already, re-painted.

Something I forgot to add to the aged metal tutorial:
To get a convincing "greasy" look, I spray the whole aged surface with matte clear, to dull it.
Then I use high-gloss clear wherever a real gun would be oozing melted gungrease.
Part of what tricks the eye into seeing "metal", is that machinery almost never has an even shine to it.
-
P40 warhawk, anybody? One of the most fun paint jobs I've ever done.
If I still had a motorcycle, it would look like this. No shiny paint to worry about.
If people were duracoating guns WBW (waybackwhen), would there have been ODrab Tommies?
I should have painted some "kills" on it somewhere...
This one's a CYMA clone. Want to know how to tell, on sight, a Marui from a CYMA?
Look at the screw holding the grip on. The Marui used the correct slotted head, the CYMA has a Phillips.
-
Thanks! The drum mag is from a springer, I sawed up the stock stick mag and a hicap from an M14 to make it work.
The front grip is from IMA. It's a real wood Tommy grip!

Marui Thompson:
Latest Minigun, for a Movie Director This Time!

Yep, I'm working on a proper sound unit for these. I want it to be mechanical, foolproof. Probably a six-lobed cam, striking a slapper against a large diaphragm.
