Digital Firearm Mockup - "Vera"
Jayne's very favourite gun from Firefly, cobbled together digitally from a bunch of BrickArms weapons. Might work IRL, if you can mold plastic with your bare hands.
Oh, and yes, I really have no idea about gun terminology, so if the li'l scope and back bit have real names, You can keep them to yourself while quietly laughing at me.
Think of this as a continuation of the conversation between Muffin and I yesterday.
EDIT: Reference pic so y'all know what I'm talking about.

Hey that looks pretty good. Without the reference pic it looked kinda odd with all the colors but now I see it;s meant that way.

A very gaudy weapon; may I ask what the use of having several bullets clipped to the buttstock is?

It looks good, but what'd the point in this?
Our sat-nav is called Vera.

Ammo. 'Cause sometimes guns run out of bullets, donchaknow. Also, heehee, 'buttstock'.80-0 wrote:A very gaudy weapon; may I ask what the use of having several bullets clipped to the buttstock is?
It's in the WIP section, isn't it? The idea is to make this IRL, and for the digital mockup to serve as a guide. So think of this as a taster.Garet6 wrote:It looks good, but what'd the point in this?

Re: Digital Firearm Mockup - "Vera"
Awesome you actually did it! Read to have another hour and a half conversation again tonight about Firefly? Now all we have to do is to actually make it not just a virtual one.

Common military term.
Oh, because ammo goes in clips, don'tchaknow. So instead of keeping two or three extra full clips they take out the one they're using and refill it bullet by bullet. Real genius.

They are on clips, silly. Look, just squint a bit at the base. Besides, it's fictional and it's from the future, who knows what kind of whacko technology it uses, especially after Jayne's upgraded it.

A-ha! Here's an idea: It's a rifle clip similar to those used in the American Garand and the German KAR-98, buuuut the clip on the rifle is stuck in the rifle; it isn't taken out, and the ammo clip is simply pulled out of the back of the magazine, with the new clip(mounted on the buttstock) inserted likewise.

Re: Digital Firearm Mockup - "Vera"
This is great Jinj! You did this very well and the reference picture really added to it.
Re: Digital Firearm Mockup - "Vera"
That's very clever - The only problem I'm thinking of is how the minifig is going to hold it - If the buttstock is too close to the handle the minifig might not be able to hold it properly, or you might have to cut the trigger guard off.
Re: Digital Firearm Mockup - "Vera"
Very cool jinja. One thing the back bit would be called the stock and the lil' scope is most likely a laser scope. I have SOCOM and they kinda look like that.

Re: Digital Firearm Mockup - "Vera"
The problem is that I can see no way a minifigure could pose with it properly because of the buttstock. It's too long to fit.

That was good! Back to topic. I love this Mock-up you made Jinja! I may know someone who you could contact and get it printed. PM if your interested.
Re: Digital Firearm Mockup - "Vera"
Very interesting design and make sure that the minifigure can hold it.
Re: Digital Firearm Mockup - "Vera"
The bullets in the stock(or buttstock) are not going to work. Make an ammo pouch or something. But don't forget to make the bullets smaller than the suppresor.
Re: Digital Firearm Mockup - "Vera"
I'm not going to lie; this looks sweet. If you can actually pull this off you'll be a sick modder.

Well legos often have very over sized utensils and weapons. But, this weapon is modded from brickarms so he didn't really have the chance to make it smaller.

Yeah it would be pretty sweet to see it!
Re: Digital Firearm Mockup - "Vera"
You guys are sick, twisted and very, very amusing ! What would I do without you?
Can't wait to see the final gun!

Re: Digital Firearm Mockup - "Vera"
Got the necessary BA and did most of the cutting today. Shouldn't be too long 'til I've got my own li'l Vera - I should probably make a Jayne minifig, come to think of it... Ah well, a random minifig will do for now.

Hey will you PM me the list of guns needed? And one more thing, LUCKY!!!!!!!
Re: Digital Firearm Mockup - "Vera"
You can read 'em on the original image, but here they are for clarty:
Grenade launcher (alternatively, cut the top off a LEGO sextant)
SOCOM pistol
M1A1 .45 cal SMG
Combat shotgun
4-pack of ammo clips
It's a good idea to get a couple of each in case you screw up. Also, if you want a silver handle and a black stock, you could order two different coloured shotguns.
In other news, I've started glueing Vera together. She's made of about ten parts, so it'll probably take a while.
