Did this one out of randomness. It just screamed it, and i couldn't help but add it in LOL.

Rorshach's Hook Gun

I totally forgot to take pics when i did Alucard's Jackal, sucha waste. It turned out looking pretty nice. Sigh.

No such mistake this time round.

Presenting... Rorshach's Hook Gun!

The Original

Photobucket

The base i'm working with. Bought it at a toy store near arab street.

Photobucket

And... exposed.

Photobucket

To save time, im gonna use a substitute for the gas cylinder on the back. Found a random bottle that looked suitable. The blue cap is a base for me to make the reel box, which im doing from scratch as i can find a substitute. Gonna move the muzzle up of its original position, and the orange tube, originally the barrel, will be cut down to be part of the hook tip.

Photobucket

First, sawing off the tip of the base. This let's me have a good surface on which to glue the muzzle.

Photobucket

Cut out a cap for the cylinder with a styrene sheet, and glued it together. Whilst it dries...

Photobucket

Measured and cut out a strip, which will be used for...

Photobucket

The circumference of the reel box. Had to hold onto for half an hour till the glue set >_>

Photobucket

Sawed off the bit of the barrel i intend to use as part of the hook tip.

Photobucket

Cut out the top of the back part of the gun, so as to give the gas cylinder a better base to rest on.

Photobucket

Finally, the glue has set. The fumes are makin my head spin.

Photobucket

Cutting out and gluing the sides of the reel box.

Photobucket

At this point, i realized that the front sight was blocking where the top hook would eventually be. Off it goes.

Photobucket

Using some paper, i create a prototype of the hook. Looks fine.

Photobucket

Using the piece of paper, i trace and cut out the hooks.

Photobucket

Owch, my hand hurts from all the scissor work T_T

Photobucket

And... The not-so-complete reel box!

Photobucket

This bit here is some small tube that connects the gas cylinder to the reel box. Details, details...

Photobucket

I measure and cut out some craft foam for the hook, gluing them in between.

Photobucket

Voila, 3 flimsy hooks!

Photobucket

And... i take a break. Went to shower, watch some TV, and wait for dinner.

When my dad puts in the effort, he can actually cook some rather nice stuff. Mmm, spagetthi...

Photobucket

Back to work. Here, i've cut out the bottom of the reel box, so it can sit nicely on the base.

Photobucket

And i glue it in place.

Photobucket

Cut a small piece of styrene to cover the exposed part of the muzzle.

Photobucket

Okay... i forgot to take pictures of this part OTL. Basically i just measured and cut out styrene, glued em together, and then glued the whole thing to the back of the reel box. I shall not forget again.

Photobucket

Glued the connector to the gas cylinder. Will wait for the glue to set before i put everything together.

Photobucket

Using some air-dry clay, i make a tip for the hook and then put it aside to dry.

Photobucket

Okay here i've cut out the portion that will connect reel box to muzzle. It's tiny.

Photobucket

Glued together. omg so flimsy.

Photobucket

Glue set, i join up the whole thing. Hey! It's starting to look like something!

Photobucket

Muzzle goes on. Oooh.

Photobucket

I then retire to sleep for the night. It's tiring making props..

The next day, i wake up and start doing the paint job. Spammed silver over the whole thing. Shiny...

Photobucket

I then glue the hook tip onto the muzzle, after cutting out small notches to glue the hooks.

Photobucket

Hooks on. ZOMGWOW.

Photobucket

Okay at this point, i realized i should have painted the portions seperately, as the gas cylinder and the muzzle are bronze. DOH. No matter, i paint them on afterwards. Sadly, some paint smudges, and i get an ugly stain on the right side T_T looks like i'll be hiding that bit...

Photobucket

Close-up of the front...

Photobucket

And the back... Smudge in clear view *sob*

Photobucket

And my other prop HAHA. Handle not yet glued.

Photobucket


Well, that's it. Took me 2 days of work, on and off, and 2 trips to the art store *grumble*

Tired, tired, tired.

It's been a week since cosfest and the DMD chalet.

And i'm still burned out from it.

Had a hell lot of fun tho. Cosfest was uber epic. Chalet was rather successful. (cept' for the overload of food... thanks kit)

Went on day 1 as Rorshach. I had like 10% vision with the mask on, but i at least made out rough shapes. Day 2 i went as Alucard. This is my 3rd time doing him, and i think i finally managed to get the look down to about 90% correct. I hope.

Credits to Kirmu for the pics.

Today, we did a photoshoot at a studio. This being the first time for all of us, we wasted a ton of time, and ended up having to extend an hour. Even with that, we had to rush our shots. But we still managed to get a buncha good ones in the end. Will post 'em up once editing is done.
