PSYCHO PASS: DOMINATOR Replica build WIP by DNPdesigns

[DNP]

Hello,
I am Denis from DNPdesigns. I´m an 18yo Artist/Designer from Germany.


Im building Replicas of Movie and Game Props on a comission basis since 2012!
(here is my site: www.facebook.com/DNPdesigns)


At the moment, I am working on a replica of the Dominator from PSYCHO PASS and thought this community would be Interested in following the progress.





However, here is some of my earlier work:























And here is what I got so far on the Dominator Project:




I decided to Lasercut these parts from 3mm Acrylic. To get the Design right, I worked out a concept by making a 3D Model:










Then I started of with Vector design in Adobe Illustrator:







I printed out the Lasercutting Vector Plan to check it





Then I arranged the parts, so I can cut them and printed it out again:







I decided to make a Testbuild.
I had no glue stick so I transfered it to cardboard with a gluegun.







The size is right (33cm long)















Found the first mistake, it´s too thin. So I added 2 more Layers







I found 3 mistakes in total and here ist the 4th one:




Some Final tests on my Vector design






Sooooo... The File is finally ready to go!


When it comes to Lasercutting, placement is KEY!







One costs 145€ (= 157$) and the other just 97€ (=105$)
Everything is the same, just the placement is different!


The Order to the Lasercutting Company is send. I payed about 98€ in total

Sorry for not posting that long....

however here is the progress so far


These are my ordered Lasercut parts



To glue them, its important to sand the smooth acrylic



I used holes in my design to get PERFECT allignment with simple nails



I also bought allot of clamps



The result so far, it´s still not all glued together



Added some curves with Apoxie Sculpt




The white parts are 3D Printed



Making Mold boxes




Pouring in some silicone




And there I have my Molds

omg, I wish the finished product was posted. This is amazing. I always envy/am in awe of prop makers. And to make a gun like this would seemingly take forever.

Looks quite elaborate!
I wouldn't be able to do something like this if my life depended on it.

Awesome stuff man.

This looks really cool. If you even still are active on this site, I say keep it up. You do some awesome work.

I wish I was that good with my hands. The only thing I can make is a PC.
