MMM Proton Gun build by Slime me please LIGHTS FITTED!!

i did that also with my build (the anchoring holes) and used epoxy…

if it does ever come off i may screw it or pin it like you mention

hi ok i got my exoray delux gun kit.. its superb heres how i fitted the kit…

ok first up i fitted the switches on the trigger box i needed to widen the inside of the holes so the threaded part was clear i used a dremel sanding stone that i was able to put in my drill did the job fine and the switches fitted fine

however the was quite a bit of wire sticking out of the back of the trigger box so i heated it with a hairdryer so it would easily bend which it did (cheers to kingping for mentioning that) i also bored out a bit of the resin of the back door

it fitted nicely once done

i then decided to tackle the bargraph now to say this was a job in itself is an understatement to get those pins in the holes was nigh on impossible as you have to do it blind almost

with a bit of fiddeling and skill eventually it went in… nah to hell it was pure luck that it went in lol

it took me around an hr of messing with it before i got it to fit i also had to trim a little resin as it was a bit too tight

next was the fitting of the 2 switches next to the bargraph all i had to do was widen the inside of the holes so the threaded part was clear, i used the dremel sanding stone again

then i decided to fit the switch and light on the gun ear

test fitted them and did a bit of hole widening and they went in nice

for the wires i used heatshrink wrap to hold the 2 wires together tightly, it worked great

i used a lighter to heat it to shrink wrap it i then painted it with the paint i used for my gun

and i used hot glue to hold it down its nice and tight and you dont notice it when holding

then it was time to run the trigger box wires and sloblo led wire through the hole, it was a breeze

by this time it was getting rather packed in ther

for all the leds i used a tiny blob of hot glue just to hold them in place and then hot glued the led covers in place

the 2 leds that illuminate the vent i managed to find 2 very small tortch parts and was able to use them to enhance the glare in the gun body.

it looks awesome just like in the movies really bright

the barrel light and ■■■■■■■■ motors went in the front gun handel im rather suprised at how the entire gun rumbles

very good indeed..

by the time i had everything in it was really tight and i had to force the pcb in ther was just enough room

and here it is my finished proton thrower…

exoray does an awesome kit im so pleased with it… and just as i was finishing up i had a parcel through the door

it was only my exoray pack light kit :slight_smile:

i will be fitting that to my pack tomorrow…

final thoughts…

ther was very little modding of the gun, all i had to do was widen the holes for the switches and file a little for the bargraph, i do wish the bargraph was a little easier to fit but i got ther in the end.

it took me a good half a day to fit but the result is well worth it

next job is to fit my pack light kit and wire through the gun switch to activate the pack lights(delux gun kit extra)

and then i want SOUND!!! lol

Thanks for updating to cover your light installation. I’m going to be covering the same ground when I build my second Gun in the next few months, and seeing someone’s successful efforts with the same kit is great reference to work from.

What reference gave you your handle/barrel measurements?

Oh joy…

Did you attach the ■■■■■■■■ motor to anything, or is it loose inside the front barrel?

Fantastic work, and thanks for posting it. :slight_smile:

Nice job with that!

thanks kingping

i had just assumed that the barrel lights would fit i didnt have any reference

the barrel light is just sitting loose but it cant really move anywhere so its all good.

the rumble motors are also just sitting loose behind the barrel led. you can feel the whole gun vibrate which supprised me

its all so tight in ther that nothing really has any room to move if i could change something it would be

the vent area as you can see all the wires tightly packed i could have put something in ther but i didnt think about it when doing so and i really dont want to open it up again if poss… ever!! lol

cheers quietontheset

I was actually referring to how much of each barrel was fitted into the Gun Box and how much stuck out, not the barrel lights. :slight_smile:

Beautiful job.

G

i see lol… thers a pic of exactly how far in they went a few clicks up this thread near the top…

to be honest it inserted them as far as they would go it seemed to be correct anyway

:slight_smile:

cheers gaval

I finished mine with the exact same components just this weekend. Its so awesome to have completed it.

it certanly is gb stantz its an awesome kit

and to add to that i just finished installing the exoray light kit in my pack

i will post a link here once i upload it all

i was hoping id never have to open the gun again but apparently when exoray releases his sound kit you need to run a wire from the gun to the pack for the sound activation … man my gun is so tightly packed im not looking forward to it

link to my pack and gun same link as in my pack build thread

Awesome! I’ll be using this as a reference for your gun ear lights. I’m working on those today and have the same kits as you.

Did you use all of Colin’s light caps? Like the stick on one and the white cap that’s not hollowed out? If so, how did you manage the LED under the stick on, and did you hollow out the white cap or did it glow okay anyway?

Shane

i didnt use the white solid light caps as i didnt really like the look of them so i used home made bits

for the light next to the clippard under the silver knob i used the tip of the top off a nail varnish set it was glass looking and hollow all i needed to do was cut it to the right length and give it a light sand to get that faded look

as for the small flat like cap on the top i used a pearl button off an old shirt i just sanded it so it wasnt clear the light shines through it perfect

they both turned out ideal, the light cap on the gun ear was one of the orange caps from colin

as for the sloblo and other light on the top i used the ones colin sent (the ones that clip in to place)

honestly just look around your home for clear buttons or tops of thigs you can always sand them down or cut them etc

Alright, cool. Thanks!

Shane

nice N64 controller! :cool:

Man, I don’t know a lot of people that had the yellow ones. I had a transparent green one, and know 1 other person that had either a yellow or red one. Mostly we all had the plain old gray ones!

Shane

lol thats very observant of you guys..

i picked that 1 up off ebay for use on my pc

I’m glad to see the light kit got to you safely!

You did a great job of installing it, really adds a layer of realism to the whole thing, doesn’t it? :smiley:

it defo adds something to it cos when i fire it up thats when people go WOW!

great light kit cheers crix

Very nice build. Congrats!
