Where to start? A lot has happened since my most recent post. Phoenix Comic Con has now concluded and although I wasn't able to accomplish what I would have liked, a lot has been put into motion that makes me think it'll all be alright.
One of those things that didn't get done was the Mass Effect 2 N7 Armor, and the finishing of the N7 Eagle guns.(The guns had been final assembled and sat unpainted for several weeks, never got around to painting them). but hear me out a little on this whole armor shebang. At my former employer we had a laser cutter, I found that laser cutting and etching foam was a very doable, and interesting way to go about the creation of our armor. I found templates, I scaled them, I cut them. a lot of work when into it, but ultimately it came down to the fact that I didn't have enough time. School kept me busy right up until graduation, and then a week later my job was taken away from me. (not a student worker anymore). Pretty lame stuff let me tell you, well my last work week, was the week before PCC. So you get the idea, little to no time left to finish, and now I can't come into work to use the laser cutter... The inevitable cycle of getting nothing done, but oh well, I would still like to finish them at some point even though Commander Shepard is probably the most over done male cosplay, period!
More to the point and the topic of this post, and that's the N7 Eagle Pistol
Like I had said before we've had finished copies for probably a month now, so here's the molds I made to do so. In order are the handle, upper receiver, and lower receiver. I'm not including the junky molds I made for the barrels or the hood, if there is interest in those I can post them later (they are nothing special)
As I'm casting them solid for the time being (no pressure pot) the total weight of the gun comes in at around 3 lbs. Not bad considering the gun is nearly 13 inches long and 6 inches in height.
I guess in the coming posts you should be looking out for painting these guns, I have 4 that are ready for paint, after that they will be up on the store in a limited run of maybe 8 at the most. So keep your eyes peeled: Battosai Props Etsy Shop
