Well that stinks.

Be sure to take really high res photos if you do any more halo stuff!

it's asecret...

I'm assuming you are talking about the parts that have a small step on them? That is a sticky back rubber material used as a sandblast mask. It's about 1/16" thick is sticky on one side and rubbery. It's best used for patterns and masters that will be molded, it wouldnt last long on a one off prop as it would peel up eventually.

Ahh very interesting. That was the last thing that was stumping me. So this piece in particular was from a mold?

Matsucorp In reply to Danosuke [2011-04-06 23:17:21 +0000 UTC]

Actually no that's just how it is. The gun was a one off master build, it was sent off to be molded by a propmaster working on a film.

Oh? Do you have to special order your PVC sheets? I can only find PVC in tubes

If there is a sign supply near you thats where you get it, comes in 1/8, 1/4 1/2 inch, if you want 3/4 you can get that at the hardware store, it's that white plastic wood stuff... I forget the industry name but it's PVC based.
tapplastics.com has reasonable prices and can custom cut it for you, like if you buy a 2x4 foot sheet they can cut it down to three 24x16 inch pieces, that's how I do it.

Does the PVC vacuum form well?

Matsucorp In reply to Danosuke [2011-04-05 19:26:03 +0000 UTC]

No not at all actually. You need styrene, ABS or Vivac for vac forming. However it heat/hand forms well, in fact made the ribs on the front handguard bycutting 1/4 inch stips, beveling the edges, heating them and bending them over the base of the handguard, worked out great.
