Wikus Van Der Merwe 2.0 ( Distric 9)

[ZKULPTOR]

Guys,
I am about to print the gun, but I need to know how long should it be?
Please give me a guesstimate ok? I was thinking 5-6 inches in length, what do you guys think?

Just found a link that says the original gun is 39.4" in length. I guess dividing that by 6 makes about 6.5". Don't use my calculations though, I don't want to be wrong. Although, if you look here, the length of the gun seems to be more than half his height.

Looks like 6.5" would probably be best.

I was searching Ebay a while back and someone was selling 1/6 District 9 weapons.
I know they were posted on OSW, but here are some pics in case they are useful to anyone:

Thank you Username !

Might be wrong but I think the dude who made them is a member here, Uncle Sam.

No worries. I have had them saved in my "cool ideas for builds" folder for ages.
I love those weapons designs. They look high tech, alien and mean.
And i love the way they use all those 45 degree angles. So different from modern earth weapons.

The Claw is looking good and I agree about the gun length 6-7 inches long.

The wait is killing me. I NEED HIM ON MY SHELF

Great work on the claw!! Love watching the development on this thread!!

 

[galactiboy]

Great updates!

And I agree; 6.5" long seems correct. The Weta 1:1 prop replica is also listed at 39.4" long.

Not likely.... but I can ask my caster ok?

No worries man! He can hold the weapons with either hand anyways so it doesn't need to be, I was just curious in case. Thanks Erick.
