Airow Gun

An Airow gun that I got recently.

The mountings that came with it were not the right size for my recurve so I used polymorph to make a custom bracket and some cable ties to hold the whole thing together.

Ghostbusters Proton Pack

Ghostbusters Costume

My MkII proton pack for Halloween 2010.

I made a Ghostbusters costume a few years ago and it was great fun to ware, but knew I could do better so this is the MkII. There is a lot more I would like to add (maybe next year), but it will do for now. The costume got me stopped by the police (so they could take photos) and drew a crowd on the train.

MkII now with lights, sound and smoke.





Electronics used:
Arduino for lights- http://www.arduino.cc/
SparkFun mp3 sound effects board- http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/prod...

District 9 inspired model gun

A District 9 themed model gun.

It was an experiment in using foam as a modelling material as well as seeing if I could remember how to paint.
