Gun Shot Effects Part 2

Gun Shot Effects

These are simillar to squibs but without the explosive ellement. This was a simple experiment to see what could be achieved with simple technicques and a budget of a few pounds.

Sugar Glass Tests

This was how it looked when being boiled up to the right temperature, lots of bubbles, it made me think of a witches brew.

Annoyingly it broke up coming out the mold would have loved to get a massive sheet to smash as it was i had to settle on one of the bigger bits.





Below is a video of the final test break, hope you like it :-)

Bolt Pistol

 This is one of my favourite projects it involved making a prop gun with a working toy gun inside. I was inspired by the guns they used in 'Aliens', which were Thompson sub machine guns with a facade mounted over the top to alter its appearance.

This prop has a fully functioning 'Nerf Gun' inside it, some sections are still visible the handle and magazine are have received only minor alteration the rest was built up using a mixture of foam sheets and mount board. It was also given a custom paint job so that now i have my very own 'Bolt Pistol'

The paint job was done with simple Acrylic paints. Washes and ink was used to help increase shadow and depth.

Without a doubt the best project i did all spring.
