That is entirely up to you

I am totally lost LOL

hey guys!

i am sorry i am not that often online to have a little chat with you my fiends these times... life is a rollercoaster...so they say... my sons seventh birthday... which led us to build lots of lego models and visit even legoland with a special star wars feature... it was a blast! no pun inteded! we had a great time and came back all exhausted, believe me! so many mini star wars lego models... i was having hysterics they had a big well kown scenery of the berlin "bundestag" (the place where our rulers/tortures/criminals do their ugly deeds...) and had this been invaded by an army of droids... brilliant sublte political statement or just a misinterpretation on my part? well^^

i am still working on the lasgun... here are the pics to proove... but work progresses a bit slower than planned... life...and all the other stuff





the scope/ grip is still seperate... lots of detailwork still needed... i am making it all up as i go along... so this will be a highly unique and not really out of the book job...we´ll see when we get to the painting stage what´s what^^

Rogue Wolves wrote:Life sized lasgun? very cool Vik, and you can never go wrong with hans blaster.. just the other day I had an arguement with my father its a shame he thinks luke is vastly superior to han... not even close in my books

HA!!! my kids know han is well on top when coolness is concerned... tho i have to say atm my kids are highly in favor of boba fett and his "father"... talk about the love of kids for the bad guys^^
and just between you and me... i always thought of luke as a bit lukewarm

DiDDe wrote:you've done so many awesome things since i last checked! but that lasgun takes the prize! i love it!

i'll try to read a few pages back to see what's happened and then hopefully i'll have some creative to say

iv'e finally purchased a new computer so now i won't have to check everything from my Iphone
so from now on i'll drop in to see your awesome stuff going on more often!

6 months without a computer is total misery! trust me on that one!

well....welcome back mister!!! nice to have you here again... i can feel your pain... my earlier laptop was gone due to repairs some years agi for about half a year too... so i know what you are talking about... and no other way i had to check the stuff i liked too....gods...we are so addicted^^

Valhalla130 wrote:Vik, sorry to hear about your kids stuff.

And I want one of those lasrifles.

well...first... thank you^^... and second... i have to tell you all something here... this lasgun... this very lasgun mates... it is meant to be sold... and i am not biased about to whom i may sell it too... i secretly had planned to do an ebay auction for this one... i also thought about showing this on the swap shop too... so... i am game for everything... if you are truly interested... this peice was meant to be sold...drop me a line if you are interested...

HAZZER wrote:Looking good vik!!!Also if you have time i woud love it if you could pop back round onto my blog as well? Cant wait to see that lasgun finished dude!!!

i am rather sorry i have neglected your stuff for so long hazzer... not intentional... when the last times i was online... i haven´t had the time to check all my subscriptions... i know it sounds lame..but i will soon make amends... trust me

Coming along nicely, Vik! I must have missed the memo: is this a display piece or a costume piece? I just ask because the biggest challenge I see so far is the grip: not so ergonomic Also, have you thought about wrapping with cord or wire? That would give you good texture without having to grab onto those plastic chunks.

dsteingass wrote:When I was a kid we beat each other with sticks all the time and I turned out just fine!

Don't forget about the rock fights!

hey rawson... it is meant to be as something the future buyer wants it to be... yes... it is planned to be sold... ergonimic grip... yeah... atm it is not all it was planned to be... but as you can see... i´ve started some detailing on the grip...everything needs some sanding and cutting still to look better... it wont be anything near comfy at all nevertheless... the shape of the grip wont be that easy to make nice... but at least i do my best to get it cool looking... that´s at least 9 out of ten for me^^...

the idea to use wire or something else for the grip is out of the question tho... i have planned to do this gun only out of plastic card... no mixery of other materials for this one... so only different thicknesses of PC and other rods and stuff will get used....and putty^^...


cheers, vik

i want that lasgun that thing is epic!

well....

thanks mate... but you ain´t seen nuthin´yet^^...


by the way... would i be able to post this without restrictions via mail to the us at all?

oooh..I dunno. I'd call it a "COSPLAY PROP" on the customs form.

I want the measurements of it so I can replicate it! Because this thing is epic!

HA! that´ll cost ya a fortune...cookie

should i measure it for you? can be aranged... i´ll see to it in the evening...then i will take a pic of the current look and give the measurements so you may copy at your hearts desire

Fortune cookie? Ill see what I can do after school as for the measurements I'd love them and would definatly make a las gun but only if its not a bother

well... promise is extended for tonight... yesterday i was a bit tired... so expect data tonight

and it isn´t a bother... as this is a highly enjoyable expierience that gets better when shared^^

Shame about the Lightsaber and blaster still. BUT that las rifle is looking better, I look forwards to seeing it finished and painted

so vik... who do i gottta kill for the rifle? I mean really...

Looking good vik! See the mental scars #sniff# are the #sniff# hardest to heal! #sniff sniff#...

Not sure if I already said this or not, but Vik is now a gunsmith?

Ahhhh Vik the Han Solo blaster is mentally cool! Weird, I had to be Han Solo for a party a few weeks ago... could have used that gun! haha xxx

Scruffy-looking nerfherder!

Oh yeah that's cool. Definitely going to be keeping an eye on this one. Awesome work man.

So, Vik... how's the lasrifle coming along?

This thread needs more las-rifle.

cormadepanda wrote:so vik... who do i gottta kill for the rifle? I mean really...

we´ll talk about that... be sure about that... but for now... wait till i show you some more to make up your mind and then be ready to give your wallet a BIG airing

you as han? now that´s something we need proof of! you know the drill... pics or it didn´t happen ... beside... never heard of a girl dressed up as han^^
on a realted note... some peeps at y work and so on... i tried to explain as what my son went on carnival... and they never heard of han... which is not that much of a crime...but then they asked me: hans who?... not han who but hans who? get it? as if the guy was named hans solo... bloddy stupid germans... too afraid to learn something from other countries...argh...

Valhalla130 wrote:So, Vik... how's the lasrifle coming along?

I'm never putting those photos online haha ... It was a weird star wars/star trek/doctor who themed murder mystery party... I only had a few characters to pick from, it was him or Yoda... should have been Yoda!!!! xxx

So Vik...
