Post by Hi my name is on Jan 14, 2005 4:17:10 GMT -5
  these i made with stuff i found at home, i found a broken long plastic antenna for like a power wheel or something and cut it down to 8 rods with my model clippers, then i took apart a 99 cent semi truck and took the wheels and drilled four holes into each of the rims after i took out the tires, i then took some left over ugly missile launchers from a cheapy robot from walmart and the drum cans from the semi and glued them together then drilled four more holes into that assembly,then after everything was together i mounted the guns with modified missile tortoise legs then took sand paper put it on the floor to sand the ends flat and even, then i took a small drill bit and put in the barrel holes, took meeh about forty minutes after i got the parts together, sorry to revive an old topic but i thought for all the future customizers this would beeh great inspiration ;D |

Nice job for making up a gatling gun. I lack creativity so I just cast another one...
I lack the ability to find things such as other toys to destroy to benefit another one. So I guess that's something I gotta work on.

That's exactly what i wanna do! i'm so impressed.. how'd you get the holes just right? i don't own a drill (or even a pin vise) yet, but i can't imagine what it'll be like to have one.. how do you measure something like that? too bad there arent some nice pre-holed disks in existence. XD i can't wait to see those babies painted. i like how you used fewer barrels, at that size it seems like fewer makes more sense.. like for example if i used pen tubes i think i'd make a three-barrel vulcan.. but if it's the pen ink tubes i'd go for the full six  |

1)the semi truck rims had eight small holes so i first used a small drill bit and worked my way up to the proper size 2)drills aren't expensive i see cordless ones at walmart for 20-30 bucks all the time just save and buy one i use that drill alot cuz it saves so much time and hassle, and i just use cheap drill bits from the 99 cents store 3)yah, they prolly do have something like that but i've yet to see precut discs 4)i thought of using that too but it seemed not as sturdy as i would like, i wanna check out model stores for plastic sticks like the one i found That's exactly what i wanna do! i'm so impressed.. how'd you get the holes just right? i don't own a drill (or even a pin vise) yet, but i can't imagine what it'll be like to have one.. how do you measure something like that? too bad there arent some nice pre-holed disks in existence.

yeah people are always talking about different presized bits of plastic you can just buy, some soft enough to sculpt but firm enough to be the right stuff. ^_^

I don't know where this thing came from... but like I found like 2 things triangle in my like storage lol... with three holes.... so i made a triple barrel gatling with that... attached to like... a box thing... plus the spinny lego piece so that it.. spins lol i think it was from an erector set because it was metal.... and i just saudered (sp) the things on to eachother, with pen ink thingies lol and i mounted it on my D.A. Lizards... wish i could show you but i dont really have a camera lol these two pictures are for reference photobucket.com/albums/v302/Shadowdeathdark/?action=options |

i remmeber yours. it's unique cuz it's so big but it's 3-barrel, then it occurred to me that both the very small and very large would do well to have few barrels, as it'd simplify things.. i like that idea.
actually yours reminds me of like a multi-barrel RPG launcher (i see those a lot)
