Cakes' Weapons (Repeating Blaster, Knife & Mace)
« on: Dec 11, 2015, 11:20 PM »
Alright so here are the weapons and ideas I had for my mando

Knife, still debating on if I want to add some greebles to the blade to make it more of a vibro blade.
It started as a piece of wood with the template cut out and the edges sanded down using an orbital sander.


I used a split piece of dowel to create the handle. The hilt is made of a piece of sintra heated and bent, this will be sandwiched in between the top of the blade and the handle so it won't get loose or slide off.

The handle will be wrapped in a brown suede cord and weathered.

Blaster design, The story is it's a modified DLT-19 with a larger segmented barrel for cooling, taken from the T21. Allows for longer sustained fire. Scope would be on the larger side to allow for a larger viewing area but with some zoom capability.


With the ban on blasters I may end up making a second melee weapon before I get to the blaster.
I've always had a thing for maces and I know that vibro maces existed in the universe with the Neimoidians and the gaffi stick has a mace on the end. Would one be acceptable?
This is sort of what I had in mind, a one handed mace.

The blade on the side would be on both sides and criss cross in the middle like a sort of like this
*
If the mace isn't doable I can always go with just a one handed vibro axe

Update:
Been awhile since updating. But i got the dlt all painted (apart from a few pieces that still need clear coat)



Buzzkill in the clan was kind enough to print me of a kd30 from tor prudii's files from here on the forum. I'll be adding a muzzle break for it as well

 
Edit July 9 2017:
Got the KD30 blaster done. Built a scope mount out of sintra, an old button and an ear bud

I've panted and given the blade a little weathering, not to much as it's equipment and should would probably be kept clean.
Pre weathering:


Post Weathering:


I also took another swing at the mace and put in a few details. Trying to decide on which blade style I like more.


EDIT Dec 21st:
Got the handle all wrapped up. Just need to add the pummel.

Thanks mate!
I figured out what to do for my pummel



I'll hopefully get time tomorrow to pick up piping for the mace.

Thanks guys!

I was using the cap to hold the knife up as I painted it. I was trying to figure out something that would fit it for the pommel as it's an odd shape and realized I could cut out the center and use it lol

Here:s a pic of a bit of detail i'll be adding:


I've come up with a few different design ideas for the blades of the mace and wanted some feedback as to which one feels more swarzy and not as medieval?
1. was my own idea
2. based off the BD-1 vibro axe
3. a mash of the 1st blade and the ones found on a gaffi stick
4. 1st blade with a penetrating spike

My vote is for 4, I like the spike and it would set the mace apart from the usual axeblade appearances. Three blades mounted in a triangular arrangement would be a very serviceable mace.

I just came in to say your knife is too good to be true, i can not belive it's made of wood! It really looks like pure metal, great work!

Thank you guys! Hoping the mace head turns out as well.

I'm stuck between the 3 and 4 myself. I like the spike on 4 but the overall design of 3.
I've tried to blend them  by bringing the 3rds angle down further to where the spike would be on 4 while still keeping the spike aggressive, like something that would pierce through a storm troops helmet XD.
Any thoughts?

The last one is the good one I think.

On a other way this one is very similar to your design and spiky enough  ;) !

Got my blades all cut out of dollar store cutting boards lol. I'll need to sharpen the edges and sand them down still.


Now I've got to decide on the blade placement.
Either directly over the round area like in my skecth where the other blades will be


or have them off to the side on an angle.

Did a very rough fitting of the blades today.
They're about 12" point to point


Here is 4 out of the 6 blades in the 3 inch pipe on the end. I may end up decreasing the length on the upper portion though. The blades and the holder still need sanding and a ton of work to get them to sit correctly.
Paint can for scale.

Had to rethink my blades as the plastic just would not sand right. took the chance to do a little modification to the design. They still need some wood filler and some smoothing tough.

Sorry for the lack of updates, I've been slow working on these as well as my softs.
This is how the mace looked, before i dropped it and broke 3 of the blades... so I'll be ordering some 1/4 polypropylene some point. I'd rather drop it and have paint crack then have to make a set a 4th time.

The mace comes apart in 2 sections (at the head) for easier transport. In the mean time I'll be working on the little details.

I also managed to find some drawings of a mg34 that I've scaled up to 48" and printed out. (my A5 paintball gun for scale)

Thanks vod! Just waiting till I can get some plastic in for them as the wood didn't work out.
But I got some details in for the handle


Also did some work on my DLT19 barrel. The main barrel/shroud is 1 1/4" pvc pipe, the lower shroud near the reciever is 1 1/2" pvc pipe and at the end of the lower shroud is end  of 1" pvc conduit (this is the end meant to go over another 1" conduit).
I had to sand down the 1 1/4" pipe so it would fit into the 1 1/2"

placed together


The end of the shroud (conduit) will slide into the end of the receiver. Receded into the receiver will be a piece of 1" conduit with a piece of 3/4" conduit wedged inside. This will act as a anchor point allowing me to take apart and put the blaster back together for easy transport.
