Hi there Ghostheads!
This weekend was AWESOME to me, since it was the 10th anniversary of 501st Legion's Brazilian Garrison (a Star Wars costume club and I'm the founder of this unit in Brazil!).
AND in this event, I met with Marciano Goncalves, the prop master who is making the Brazilian proton pack with me. He lives in other State and this is why we split the project in two: electronics to me and fyberglass prop making to him.
He came to the Star Wars event with a special surprise to me: the 1st completely assembled proton gun! I lost my breath when I saw that masterpiece!
It is very hard, handle and barrel are 100% hollow (allow you to pass all wires and hoses you need to install electronics). Gun's body is hollow too and has a lot of room inside, to receive all wires, electronics boards, etc…
The body's botton is easily removable unscrewing two screws. Then, you can access the interior and, if you need, you can remove the handle, again easily, unscrewing another two screws.
Hey! Better than hear me talking about it is to
SHOW it! So, check the photos from our very 1st completely assembled proton gun!
Please remember it is only assembled and painted in dull black. There are
NO weathering,
NO adhesives and
NO electronics either… But I'll start to “play” with it and install the electronics I received from
R2DEVO and adhesives I ordered from other two guys (that I don't remember their names - sorry for that!)…
Enough talking! Let's see the pictures!
So, guys, we would love to hear your comments about our proton gun.
Thanks in advance!!
