Amusing to see those posts get deleted :p

Anyway, the cutout is done, I have to print it now.
Anyone have an idea of what I could do after this is done? Perhaps a monster?

Alrighty, I got the cutout all finished. Now I have to print it! This might take a while, gotta go fetch some more cardstock.

And, just for kicks, here's the high quality texture that Chris (from the Brazen team) made for me. Can be directly applied to g_rail/tris.md2
http://parilsprojects.org/railgun.jpg

I'll post production images too 8)
Notice how it's a tad smaller than the wip1 posted above (bottom-right corner has dimensions), I had to fit the front on one page because I'm lazy, and this was the quickest way.

29 pages of Rail-y goodness!

1. Awesome g_rail skin!
2. Can you make a PDA of that cut-out? :beer:

Pass me an email and I'll find a way to get the cutouts to you.

Now, it's a toss up between Super Shotgun and Grenade Launcher. Personally I'd rather have a super shotty in my hand, so I think that'll be next :welcome:

EDIT: Had spare time (ha ha), and put together suitable cutouts for the SSG and Grenade Launcher.

So I decided my nextest will be the shotgun - This is actually a present for a friend of mine as he loves Quake and guns. This will be the only gun so far that has detachable parts, the clip will be held together with.. wait for it.. velcrow :righteous:

It's on my list! I'm going to add a little stopper to it, and mess with the shape of the rocket holder, so I can actually make 3 little rockets and such :)

I kinda hoped for more feedback :p
Sticky this PeeWee? :please:

I decided to try something a little more complicated to test my skills. I put together a full hyperblaster model using v_hyperb and g_hyperb, and here's what I got so far:

Oh, for some reason I thought you were :p

I'm still working to get images for you, I'll have them soon. I did do that Hyperblaster but it came out too small (damn you, v_ model inaccuracies!), and I also did the grappling hook/formerly flare gun while I had time :)

It's been a while since I've updated this thread!

Lots have been made in my spare time, including a Shotgun Soldier that wields... a wiimote and a nunchuck. Actually, magnetic replacable weapons, but that was the one I kept on him  :dohdohdoh:

So, what am I bumping this topic for? Simple! A new project that should hopefully gain me some more PR on this stuff!

Instead of going into an eight-paragraph rant on the problems I had with the model and the re-designing I had to do, pictures are worth a thousand words.

http://parilsprojects.org/shupertank.png
http://parilsprojects.org/supertank.png

Now you may be asking what that last image there is. Or you may already know and don't care. Either way, let me explain.

I figured a paper model was just too simple. Working at a computer store myself, you're around tons of fans, LEDs, resistors, capacitors, transistor, bobulators, and you eventually have to come across some insanely wacky idea of doing something project-like. And this was it.

So basically, here's the plan!

I've already collected most (if not all) the required parts for me to throw this together. I put together a simple series circuit to test, and I have the resistors all worked out. This, unlike my other projects, will not be entirely out of paper, but instead a mix of several things to create the SuperTank.

(See bottom-right of the first image for sizes)

The main model itself is made out of paper, that's a no brainer.. of course there will be "taped" ends of a lot of areas that will allow me access to hook in and interchange LEDs if need be. It gets complicated when it comes to actually throwing it together. I came up with a few problems and solutions in mind:

Problem A) Hinges
I decided on using self-made hinges to operate the Rocket Launcher on his arm. The problem is.. how the hell do I make a hinge? I'm going to use two small dowels (one connected to the other) to create the "rotate around hinge-like motion" required for the arm, and possibly use paper or a toothpick to limit the angles on the rotation. The rocket launcher will use a single dowel with some stoppers to limit the motion of the rocket launcher itself.

Problem B) Wiring
The wiring in this component will contain several wires going in and out of the main body to supply power to the appropriate LEDs and the motor for the chaingun. The problem is whether the main upper-body portion of the model will suffice size-wise for the electrical components to fit. Once printed out and cut this can be easily figured out, but as a before-hand-guess, it's nearly impossible to judge how far in or where I'm going to stick the circuit board. Wires going from the body down to the tracks (for LEDs) will be fed through the center "cord" (which MIGHT be replaced by a spring of variable length, depending, because the body of the supertank SHOULD be able to move ala those lamps you see with the weird metal things that can move and stick) and reach their destinations. Another problem was that the motor might be spinning too fast for the chaingun to handle; the resistor in the schematics is subject to change, and as of yet is unknown what voltage I will need for it (the battery is 9 volt and the motor spins at 8,300 RPM.. can anyone do any math to figure out what I could use to slow it down to about half speed?)

Problem C) Wires
No, I don't mean wire wires, I mean the wires that make the Supertank look cool! You know, those white/gray cords that connect the body and stuff? Well, as you see, I DID remove them from the model.. but all hope is not lost! The only reason they are gone is because I have found a much simpler method of using Power Supply cable shields (you know, the ones made out of that chinese finger trap stuff) to make some makeshift wires! Pushing them together makes them wider, so I have a good degree of freedom there.


I'll take pictures of my progress and post along how it goes. Buzz the thread if you want a progress report as I may forget and lose track of myself.
Also if you have any questions, ask away!

Now I need to get more ink & cardstock...
