“Die,
die, DIE!”
Reaper
needs to work on some his catch phrases, he’s way too gloomy and
serious. Though that is much of his charm. Despite being a murderous
shadow wraith. That being said, the last time I was online I did not
report it, due to playing a fun game called Shadow Tactics: Blades of
the Shogun and baking gingerbread cookies for Christmas. I did that
for a couple of days, so I make uyp for it with this report instead.
Instead of working on my already existing shotgun, I decided to make
a second shotgun. It’s going to be one of many more to out on the
pile. My plan is to make at least six. Maybe eight, which I can throw
around me on stage. I usually start with a thick and proper core,
that is incidentally the same size as the cardboard tubes I use to
make the barrels. I keep finding these pipes at grocery stores all
the time. They are virtually free, minus the time it takes to carry
them home. Round shapes is the bane of my cosplay existence. Anything
chromed, beveled or circular is tricky. Fortunately there is very
little of that on shotguns. However the project makes up for that
with odd angles and quirky details. At least the details on Mei’s
blaster made sense.
A
shotgun of this kind, is just two barrels, a breaching mechanism and
a firing mechanism. Break it open and insert two shells, close it and
squeeze the trigger. Then open and remove the empty shells. Rinse and
repeat. Use a saw to cut off the barrel and you’ve got a saw-off
shotgun. Maybe the thing on the side is a thumbprint scanner, maybe
it is the safety. I have no idea what so ever. The annoying thing is
that the second gun is a lot better looking and thought out than the
first one. Which will make for some visual dissonance, though that is
a cool feature for a stage show, keep dropping better and better
looking loot. Somehow I found a very decent way to add the heatsinks
to the slide on top. It is far from perfect. But I had the tool to
give it a spin. It’s is very flawed and such issues can be
disguised as wear and tear. I’ve also discovered a better way to
fix the top part. It just require some dirty tricks and masking tape
to hide the terrible transitions. Eventually I will make the other
shotguns he has as well.
