All Hail, Glorious Crafters!
We have our first project!
In Episode One of Crafting Like A Sir we will be tackling the Deluxe Model Ray Gun from My Chemical Romance's Killjoys concept from the album/videos/comic.
I have received this request from a multitude of people as the prop is now discontinued and rather expensive on the web (I was told by one that it ranges from $200-400).
There will be two versions of this gun.
Version One is comprised of crafting foam and white glue sealer.
Version Two starts out from crafting foam and then is cast in silicone and resin. Resin is what the publicly sold prop is made of.
Version One is quite easy and relatively inexpensive, $ ($20 ish). Version Two is at cost level $$$ as the silicone and resin are around $30 a box. [The silicone mold is re-usable! Worth every penny]
The pattern images will be posted below in image and link form. When you print out the base of the gun (Pattern A) it should be 32.5cm in length from the round of the butt of the handle to the tip of the barrel. **The measurements are printed on the pattern pieces. Some pieces may say "nearly" as it is between measurements. I prefer to round up and carve off the extra.
