:lol Hi this is my nintendo zapper blaster.....it still needs work but what do you think about it?? Do you think it needs something more?? Please give me some feedback!!. I thought the lipstick case would add a girly touch;) :lol
I know its a bit wonkey...nothing is stuck on yet.
Thanks
Zoe
Glowstick is a nice touch Zoe! What colours you thinking of painting it? Get it stuck together and a bit of car body filler on there and it will look great
Dan
Cool thanks
Im prob either gunna do a black andsilver job on it or come up with something else....just baught loads of glue sticks from norwich yesterday for updating everything....still got lots to do!
Ah glue sticks...a man's best friend! Although watch out for molten glue dripping on you. It can be painful, especially when both your hands are full and you can't get it off your skin!:lol
If I may add my personal oppinion as far a s arecommendation, I notice that your going for that barrel with a "gas retrival tube" in my own words, or that "double barrel" look. I would, under the regular barrel with the glowstick, use a tube that has a smaller diameter or just thinnerso that it "flows" with the rest of the zapper. I actualy own one, and I play duck hunt with it all the time. Its a fun gamer, especially since its a double game cartridge also including super mario brothers, the original nintendo game system.

The lip stick holder works really well (it looks like some sort of gas port, similar to the belt fed machine guns of our time). Overall i think it is going to rock :)
how about though adding some greeblies onto the side of the gun to give it a bit of a 3 dimensional look.
it would be cool if you could build it so that the glowstick was removable. basically pop a glowstick in there before trooping so your gun lights up :)
This is my blaster now after some paint...
I must admit that the lipstick case does look good.....all lipsticks are like this I think...if you take out the lippy, leave the lid, push it out to its fullest extent then pull and it should look like it did on the earlier photos.
What do you think....yey or ney??
WOW! That's great Zoe! Can't wait to see what else you've got up your sleeve:lol
Dan
Now painted , it looks great!
Looks great! i would have used one of the Hex Glowsticks give it a bit more character =D but it looks great! nice custom piece
Ive still got 2 weeks, I might add something else to it....i had to improvise for my gauntlets as well cos I dropped them last time I wore them so they now have a sawn off pencil and a glue lid attatched!! Alot of people can do alot more with thier armour and stuff cos they have the tools, but I never have, I had a hand saw for my armour...thats why they aint the same szie for the chest plates...either that or one boob is bigger than the other ;) :lol
Glad people like it.
Zoe
Good work Zoe. The gun looks great, really beat up and scratched :)
Told you the lipstick holder looked good :D ,n ow it looks even better.
Go girl :cheering

This is my nintendo zapper conversion....updated with holster because when your going out you dont really want to be carrying your little blaster round in your hands...they get in the way and could get bbroken...and as its useually me that breaks them by dropping them...im not gunna take any chances this time!!
Ive hand made a holster and aged up my utility belt aswell and fixed the holster on my belt. Its just been aged by wiping it over with some black acrylic paint so the synthetic leather coluor shows through aswell.
Anyway let me know hwat you think!
Zoe
WOW
that looks really really great. It just has that bounty hunter essence to it. You have done a really good job there. The blaster is good but the rig is out of this world.
Another reason to have your sidearm holstered is to stop the 'adorable' public trying to constantly nick your weapon.
well done though. cant wait to see it.
This is the zapper with the rest of my outfit....my gauntlets arent authentic as my wrists are very dainty so without a LOAD of padding they just fall off with the underparts so thats whjy they are just straps. I do love my bucket...its my fave bit...though it is a bit big as im pretty slender and my shoulders aint that broad so it kinda dwarfs the rest of the costume...especially cos its all woman sized....when will people start making lady sized helmets!!
Im lloking forward to getting all mi clober on this sunday though...I just need to weather my jumpsuit a bit more and its all done (untill I have a spare evening when im sure I will see something I can improve)
Zoe
Looking good Zoe :cheers
It kind of a mix between Boba and Jango, really nice combination
:cheering
Good stuff Zoe. So when you coming to troop with us?!
That rig looks awesome, really authentic
You, Dan and me could be the 'Three Amigo's' :lol
all mando's together :lol
Sorry :o
Cheers guys....at least I can tell my mum that....I really annoyed her last year when every spare minute doing this before I went off for my last year at uni....but the starwars fancy dress party went very well so I was happy.
When I can drive...and have got a car as that is really more important then I can go where I please from a village with no busses!!
Zoe
It will be good to have you with us Zoe. Me and Jon have done a few events with the Norwich group and it's a lot of fun!

It's going to be great when all three of us get the chance to meet up in costume :)
How on earth do you get about????? Do you have to rely on your parents for all your lifts? Thats harsh.Quote:

that blaster came out really well
i had 4 nintendo zappers in the house when i converted one. well being the person i am i didn't test them all before working on one and it turns out i didn't use the one that didn't work. ah well

Wow I lioke your blaster much more than mine!!
Dont under sell yours Zoe, its the nuts :D
Seriously though, when i saw your blaster on Sunday i was really impressed (that sounds so....... ;) ). I think the ppl who were looking at it couldn't believe it was sratch built, especially with the weathering.
