Ahhhhh the Lovely Polly... Cats and Robocop, two of my favourite things - great simple techniques, I'll put those into the model making mind storage facility
Nice look overall, with some interesting techniques to make a toy gun look real. Great to see some classic Robocop, here's hoping your son likes it. Then in the next episode you can show us all how you build a full size ED 209 from a couple of waste paper bins, an old bbq and a pair of stilts!
I think he likes the gun, but having seen how brittle it is (you can hear it crack several times in the video) he's decided that it's just a display piece now. As for Ed 209, I think you have a plan there - and I have some of the parts already. I'll get cracking!
He got it from the local pound shop and it was broken inside the packaging. It sort of looks nice, but the plastic just crumbles, so it needs bolstering from the inside.
Yes, I've been asked a couple of times before, but I honestly don't know what I can say that probably hasn't already been said. I'll give it a bash though.
It can do if you apply too a heavy coat - which is why I spritz the stuff on. If it does go on heavy, I tend to douse the piece in more powder, straight into the wet application and that seems to help. I thought that I demonstrated that in this video or at least mentioned it. I dunno, it's been a while.
Outstanding work. I'm wondering if I can use the graphite powder for my Auto 9 BB gun. Is it safe? Also, where did you get that cool metal piece to hold up the gun?
Thanks, I'm glad that you like it. As for your question, I can't see any reason why the graphite wouldn't be safe on your BB gun - this method has been used on prop guns for decades, even ones that fire flash charges. That said, I wouldn't allow the powder (or anything else for that matter) to get down into the barrel as potentially that could alter the inner diameter or even clog it up... which could be harmful. Those metal pieces? Look up "1-2-3 Blocks" - they're machinist's tools, but I use them because they're great for holding parts together at 90 degrees when gluing up projects, but I also use them to weigh down pieces or to hold stuff up for You Tube thumbnails.

She's greatly missed, is Polly. Thanks for watching!
Nice - I’ll be doing my Stormtrooper blaster with graphite powder now!
Cheers. At least the video is useful to someone - good luck with your blaster!
absolutely brilliant ive been making props for years and im deffinatly getting some graphite powder cheers mate u learn summink new everyday
I'm glad that the video has given you some new info, plus it's a fun and really easy process - enjoy!
@18:35 it’s Murphy looking for his gun! Lol
Probably, him and ALL his mates!
10/10 for such an authentic model of a kitten...
Cheers, though I can't really take any credit for that build.
Also I have a full size BB replica of Robo’s gun, loved the style of it from when I was a Kid.
I didn't even know there was such a thing until my brother was telling me about his. I'm kind of jealous of you both now.

"You have 20 seconds to comply!"
That is such a great job, looks nice.
Thank you - not too shabby for something that wasn't planned in the slightest.
I'm doing a Mandalorian blaster thanks for the tips.
No problem 👍 Have fun with your project!
very nice!!!
Cheers!
Very nice effect, PB. I might as well go first with the obligatory ‘I’d buy that for a dollar’ comment :))
You might as well, plus you'd not be far off the actual price of the toy!
It was based offa beretta 92 f lovely build wondering if it's in scale you know it was made because it had to be big enough for his hand
It's child scale, but looks like a normal sized gun. The prop version was made larger because PV thought it looked too small in relation to the suit.
@@PBProps burst of 3 bullets at once now a fact as many pistols in USA do just that
where di he get that gun that is amazing
He got it from the local pound shop and it was broken inside the packaging. It sort of looks nice, but the plastic just crumbles, so it needs bolstering from the inside.
Could you do a review on the third doctor tardis set !
Yes, I've been asked a couple of times before, but I honestly don't know what I can say that probably hasn't already been said. I'll give it a bash though.
did you find that the laqor dulled up the metal shine?
It can do if you apply too a heavy coat - which is why I spritz the stuff on. If it does go on heavy, I tend to douse the piece in more powder, straight into the wet application and that seems to help. I thought that I demonstrated that in this video or at least mentioned it. I dunno, it's been a while.
What did you finish it with? Clear coat gloss, semi-gloss, matte?
The spray can of matt lacquer that you can see at the 28m14s point of this video - just a light spritz and it was done.
Outstanding work. I'm wondering if I can use the graphite powder for my Auto 9 BB gun. Is it safe? Also, where did you get that cool metal piece to hold up the gun?

@@PBProps Thanks for the info. You're a cool dude.

A Hemingway cat!
In deed she is!
