Erik_MAA Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 Since the guidance for the picture section does mention nuclear devices, but I couldn't find an existing thread. http://www.arniesairsoft.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=133636 Here is my nuclear device. It's a replica of the Special Atomic Demolition Munition (SADAM) which as about a 1kt yield. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_Atomic_Demolition_Munition I got lucky and found the airborne harness at a surplus store. While the real thing is meant to be carried on a parachute harness during airborne missions, I wanted to be able to wear this as a backpack, so I rigged it up to an old rucksack frame. I get obsessive about field props. I'm sure others here have similar projects Here's a missile we built for a game a few years ago: A crashed missile. This one has a removable warhead. A demolition charge I built for a scenario game. Another scenario setpeice - a bio-weapon! And last, but not least, a C-4 charge. I built a nuclear reactor for last year's winter game, but I didn't get any pics I'm sure others have built infernal devices for their games - I'd love to see what others have done.

ninja master of coffee Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 Really good stuff. I have to say I particularly like the soviet SAM launcher, very intimidating! What do you use to build out of for the most part? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Silent_Assassin Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 I can see them fine pal. Erik_MAA - have you got any guides for these builds, specifically the C4 and SAM Missiles? Josh Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Danke Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 Aircraft camera complete with trailing wires and flashing lights. Built for a night game. Mostly made of whisky tins. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Erik_MAA Posted January 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 The Russian SAMs were made from cardboard tubes (carpet rolls). The nosecones and fins are also cardboard; the "launcher" is scrap wood. I didn't design this particular prop, but I helped build them. For this particular game, we had three of these batteries that had to be taken out. Fully assembled, it was about 9 feet tall! When working with cardboard, you can make it stronger by coating it with a solution of Elmer's glue thinned with water. I just brush it on and let it dry, then paint. The C4 charge was scrap wood wrapped in paper (labels printed on my computer) with a kitchen timer. The wires are old phone cord. The "Demo Charge" is a plastic storage tub, turned upside down and painted, with a wooden plate added. There is also a wooden block inside it to give it more weight. The "Bio Weapon" is a CD case mounted to a wooden board. I got the tubes inside at a surplus store, they are full of colored water. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Danke Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 I like the bio-one. I think that's what I"ll do next go around. I'll make it akward enough that 2 people have to carry it and rig the tubes to leak if miss-handled! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Silent_Assassin Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 Thanks Erik_MAA I'll give the SAM's a go, I fancy a non-gun build at the moment. Josh Quote Link to post Share on other sites
judgeman Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Shows you what one bored man can do with free time and a lot of cardboard. I need to do this sort of thing when I move into my new place. I'd love a prop Rhodesia golf-bomb sitting in the corner. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sigma3 Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Very cool stuff. Any more pics/info on that crashed missile? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chas Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Nice stuff. Just to inspire you a bit, I found this props store they make for training (?), movies, etc. http://www.inertproducts.com/new_products1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
navymp28 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Inert products is cool and they make some great stuff. I have used there stuff in the service during training. But they don't sell to civvies. It sucks because that stuff would make wicked cool Airsoft props. Nice stuff in here though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
