Hi there Zeddmore!

The estimate price is US$600.00 + shipping, for the complete pack with pack's lights. We had no time to develop the gun's lights.

If you want, just email me with the data below and I'll add you to our “wish list” at no compromises. This list is made to let us contact everyone interested, as soon as we have them ready to order.

Email me the following data:
- Your name (or nick):
- Your country:
- If you desire lights on pack:
- Your contact email:


Email me at: ftpvinicius@gmail.com

Let me hear from you in my email.

Thanks!

Ghostheads,

This is time to have some news from our project.

Our proton guns are almost assembled. In photos, you see the guns 98% done. Then, we'll paint it, add the lights, switches and buttons and stickers.

Check out our progress:























All comments are welcomed.

Thanks!

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! wink

























So, guys, we would love to hear your comments about our proton gun.

Thanks in advance!!

Guys,

Quick update, now starting to show the electronics' installation process.

I have just added the gun tip's lights. Check it out:







And now, with the transparent tip (and lights) installed back on gun's barrel.





I'll try to update you all with photos of our progress, as soon as I get it.

Any comments are welcomed.

Thanks!

Time to bring another update!

Now I have just installed all lights and switches on gun. I already installed the red / transparent plastic led covers and tip's push button.

Electronics are R2DEVO's gun light kit, with custom startup sequence.







I have just uploaded a small video to Youtube, to show how gun's lights looks like.

Now I still need to install the brass connectors, hoses and add the stickers to complete the gun.

The pack is being finished by our prop master and as soon as he gives me it, I'll start to add the lights (again made by R2DEVO) and Robert “Replica Prop's” sound module.

Comments welcomed.

Hi there Ghostheads!

Here are some more news from our project. I have just completed our very 1st Brazilian Proton Gun!

Here are some photos from it:









The gun was 100% made and assembled in Brazil, by my friend Marciano Goncalves. He sent me it assembled and painted. Then I added the electronics, supplied by R2DEVO. I added the adhesives (that I don't remember who supplied me it). The metal parts (banjos and connectors) and hoses were suplied by Colin, from MultimediaMayhem.com.

As soon as possible, I'll record a short video, to show the gun better.

Comments are welcomed!

And someone asked me about the size of our bumper. He asked about it, because it looked way to huge.

Here is a photo from a pack we are working in. The pieces were made bu us and as you can see, the bumper looks great on it, right?



Let me hear your comments, guys!

Thanks!
