Title: The Lawgiver...GIMME GIMME!
Post by: strangelysaucy on 19 September, 2012, 06:39:08 PM
So after regaining control of my mind and body after the life changing experience that was the movie..the inner nerd has awoken once more and I shall be creating my very own Lawgiver replica..

Based on an existing airsoft replica of thw GLock it's not gonna be a quick process but after a couple of days of farting around in photoshop I've come up with the following plans which will (hopefully) include a working LCD screen

wish me luck....

You're missing a bracket with a sculpted saddle that fits around the back of the frame of the Glock at the top of the pistol grip..

Carry on :)

Post by: strangelysaucy on 19 September, 2012, 08:18:13 PM
oh yeah! I should mention that these plans (in red) are for the flatter parts only, the black parts and the back of the handgrip will be modelled by hand in sculpy or some sort of modelling clay..is that the part(s) you mean?

Post by: Michaelvk on 19 September, 2012, 09:13:13 PM
In that behind the scenes featurette thinggy there's one of my animations showing the assemble of it in 3D.. That should give you a decent idea of it's parts breakdown.

Post by: strangelysaucy on 19 September, 2012, 09:26:41 PM
That's mostly where I got the details from for my dodgy interpretation.
It's a very revealing few seconds of your wonderful animation...maybe I should watch it again if I'm missing something big  :-[

Look forward to seeing the gun done.. as for your mates one, I may be wrong but he hasn't 'hardened' the foam has he? Theres a good tutorial thing that was posted by another forum member on the creative common that linked to costumer 'X robots' experiment with a process to coat foam with pva glue and then a thin resin plastic coat. Gives a good finish andcan be done on card too.

new update!

So the materials arrived for me to begin cutting out the templates proper...however they are the wrong sort, kinda soft and certainly not durable enough for a handleable piece..grrrrrr

anyway I decided to make the best of it and even though it's inferior quality it is still the right thickness so template test phase two engage!

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/preddyboy666/IMG_0471.jpg)

turns out my templates are pretty much spot on! woohoo!!!
Now I just await delivery of the proper base materials before I can properly crack on with this badboy

Speaking of trumpets, slightly O.T., but we tried to talk them into using a Triumph Rocket III as a base for the Lawmaster.. But they weren't having it.

Why that bike in particular?
Title: Re: The Lawgiver...GIMME GIMME!
Post by: Michaelvk on 09 October, 2012, 08:57:52 PM
Because, with a bit of careful dressing, it would have a big presence, as well as be able to perform. Ultimately it's not a movie about a bike.
Title: Re: The Lawgiver...GIMME GIMME!
Post by: strangelysaucy on 09 October, 2012, 09:13:02 PM
it's a hell of a bike and does kinda have that oldskool lawmaster vibe to it too, but yeah 10 grand is probably a steep starting point!

Very nice. You must be very proud owning that. And you did well with the painting of it. What sort of paint did you use?
Title: Re: The Lawgiver...GIMME GIMME!
Post by: strangelysaucy on 24 November, 2012, 05:46:27 PM
thankyou, I'm very proud and will be even prouder when I finish the bugger!

I just used a Halfords brand primer and satin black and a volkswagen tornado red..it all looked a bit sh*t til I went to town on it with some powdered graphite that gives it that lovely metallic lustre (imho anyway)

Here's how it looks up to now...still need to sort out the repirator badge properly and put in the padding...

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/preddyboy666/IMG_0611.jpg)

and after a bit more hard labour on the Lawgiver I'm starting to get together the other side now..real problem is where and how to fit the electronics!!  :-[

Title: Re: The Lawgiver...GIMME GIMME!
Post by: Rusty on 24 November, 2012, 07:26:37 PM
It looks great as it is. Maybe a metallic spray would have worked better? Also, if you rubbed the graphite shavings over it, how did you seal the effect in? Surely it would rub off with handling?
Title: Re: The Lawgiver...GIMME GIMME!
Post by: strangelysaucy on 24 November, 2012, 07:30:25 PM
no metallic paints tend to look like ...well..metallic paint basically, I've used it before on star wars replicas and it end up looking fake.

The graphite needs a good rubbing and it kinda seals itself.

As for a screen accurate cosplayer it might not be too long, there's guys working on the vest, shoulder armour and belt kit but I'll tell you now this is one EXPENSIVE cosplay project!!!!

I'm not sure when I'll get started on the rest of the costume, it's primarily a Lawgiver/Helmet/Badge combo at the time being. The new movie costume is a very pricey endeavour if you're going to do it properly.

No biggie. Just buy a PVC spandex suit from Ann Summers, and buy a groin guard from somewhere and paint it gold and you're half sorted for the Stallone look.

Post by: strangelysaucy on 06 December, 2012, 06:20:36 PM
yep, the blue one is a gas powered automatic that will (hopefully if my plans work out) make it fire like the real deal...except instead of hi ex or ricochet the only ammo it holds is little yellow plastic bb's...but one can pretend  right? :-[

Carry on, sir.. Oh, and if I can recommend one thing.. Don't use those awful .12gr bb's (yellow).. Get some decent .25's. .2's at the least.

That's looking awfully familiar!

The saddle that sits around the back of the grip is in fact on an L shaped bracket (viewed from the side, a U from the top, open end facing the muzzle end), that curves around the ejection port and tucks under the top cover..

after trying to re-create said bracket I've realised it won't really fit into the build as it is...grrrrr so I've had to wing it and fabricate my own little tabs to attach the grip saddle to...

That looks really excellent. Well done. Does it feel sturdy, like it won't feel like something will come loose after a while? I know you've probably already thought of it, but you should add some of the graphite scuffing like you did with the helmet.
Title: Re: The Lawgiver...GIMME GIMME!
Post by: strangelysaucy on 13 December, 2012, 03:58:39 PM
its pretty sturdy yeah, needs a screw in the bottom, the barrell secured properly (not with blu-tac like it is now) and the rear grip saddle to be attached to hold it all in place but the build itself feels good and solid..it weighs in at just over 1kg..not sure how much a real one would weigh but it feels like a GUN :D

thanks for the compliments...It needs some loving paintwork done also yup

Post by: Michaelvk on 13 December, 2012, 10:24:30 PM
That's pretty damn close to the screen we had.. The cables for it went up under the top cover, then down to a brain in the front mag and a battery in the pistol grip..
Title: Re: The Lawgiver...GIMME GIMME!
Post by: strangelysaucy on 13 December, 2012, 10:37:50 PM
awesome! I'm hoping it can be either way up cos it'd be easier for me if the cable ran up under the top instead of ferreting it under the mag area!!!

god knows how it'll work..or rather if it will at all! but hey this build has been all about learning new things so why not give it a go :D

It's just a printed image of some real chain linked bullets. I am not sure what will replace them until I've finalised the electronics, I might need the magazine space to hide batteries or a controller chip for the screen.

I might use crayons now :-)

We (when I say we, I mean a chap called Michael Cannone) built a beautiful mechanism that swapped little trays of ammo tips inside the magazine. It never got used, however a photo of the mechanism was placed inside the mag, much like Saucy's effort..

For all those beautiful, brave creative types who want to have a crack at making a Dredd 2012 lawgiver like mine.

Who aren't exclusively members of weird, vindictive cosplay groups

Who have the willingness to superglue their fingers together, to the table, to the wife, partner, dog, curtains and still keep going.

Here are the templates to do so.

It's not a quick fix..it's not an easy job and you WILL need to ask me questions along the way..are you brave enough?

FREELY available from these locations WITH pictures and explanations

Oh! and there's also a freely available holster template and tutorial for the gun if anyone wants that too!? PM me for links.

Big thanks to many months of email ping pong and the saintlike sufferance of my endless questions go to :- MVeeKay he knows who he is and why I won't tag him

Now go...run like the wind, scratch your head, cut, build, showoff!

Sorry Steve, I should have probably edited rather than straight copy/paste but to be honest I don't mention any names nor point any fingers. If you know...you know, if you don't it's a post about templates.

I'd rather not taint this thread or this board with the childish twattery that goes on over on farcebook.
