Conduit F3 Documentation

The equipment I used for this project was the following: Scalpel, Scisors, Pencil, glue gun, spray cans.

This pisol is once of the concepts from the upcoming Destiny game in development by Bungie. I'm excited about this game and love the weapon designs of this set in future franchise. I think what I like most about them is how different they are from the every day weaponry you see in modern gaming.
I analysed the most efficient way to create a replica. I looked at the design and the easiest method was to create a skeleton of the weapon first and then work around it. I took a pencil and a piece of thin card. I placed my hand on it and marked how wide my hand was. This was a way I measured proportions and in this case the handle. Once I roughly knew what size the handle would be, I started working on other sections such as the barrel. I kept looking back at theoriginal concept to make sure I get the sizes roughly correct so when I join them, they'll fit together like a puzzle.

The inner section of the gun was easier to make as it was only a skeleton for what will come on top of it. I used the scalpel for the detailed work and scisors when it came to cutting straight edges. I didn't want to glue the outer parts to the skeleton yet becuase then painting it would become difficult.

There were also smaller sections to the gun such as the tip of the barrel which were a bit more detailed and had a rounded shape. I took a plastic bottle and exrtacted the plastic in the middle of it. I then cut a strip and fold it up around a pencil which gave me a small tube like item. I was then able to cover it with black duct tape and added some silver paint on the edges for the final touch.

During the making I thought about adding some lights to the weapon. I had a set of christmas tree lights left from last year and used those on the gun.

I wanted to make sure that the batteries could be easily replaced so I left the back stock area of the weapon open so I could remove the battery pack the moment it died.

For the back section of the gun where the stock would go, I wanted to make something that would cover the battery slot as well as keep it in place. It also had to be easily removed so I took a strip of plastic and placed it inside the stock. I was able to create a slot on the batteries where this piece of plastic could be inserted to keep the stock together with the rest of the weapon.

Once I finished the stock area, I was then free to paint the rest of the weapon using red and black spray cans.
