I didn't get too much done. But I managed to get one of the two guass rifles almost completed today. It is made out of a local amusement park card.
Tip of the day: looking for cheap styrene?
When working smaller projects that need styrene, use an old membership card made of plastic. This is because it is made of the Exact type of styrene that you can buy in big sheets at the hobby shop for 7-8$ more and you get the exact same result.
Another place to get styrene cheap(er) in the [$4-$5] range, other than the hobby shop is at the Home Depot or other hardware store. They tipically have signs made of styrene.
Of course, remember to get the best results for gluing and painting, remember to scrape off whatever print is on the card or sign.
Anyways, you guys came here for progress of the build, so here is a picture of the guass rifle.
This is just a prototype, as I will be casting it in resin so both gauss rifles are symmetrical to each other as possible.
This is a pretty fun build and I hope you've enjoyed watching the build progress as I go along.
As always, stay tuned.
-Geiger out.
