Howdy fellow Ghostheads,
First attempt at a PKE
I used 80sguy’s “Printable PKE” as a template for the body(nice job BTW) & HProps wing templates.
Still have to round the edges to get her looking more “iona”
The idea is to have wing & screen electrics, & manual/thumbslide moving wings(ala a few dollar store brush PKEs), hence the side cutouts.
Cutout at the front is for the screen, & the back screws on/off for easy access.
Thoughts?
Comments?
Barking Mad?
you have the right idea, i used some dude’s paper craft plans to make that really bad ass gun from aliens.
Looks like a great start!
UPDATE TIME!
Ok, she’s almost finished, bar final coats on the paint…
The manual/thumb switch was a bugger, but I figured it out in the end.
Soldering the wing lights…
Electrics installed, wings finished & thumb-slide functional…
Front(dur!) with buttons installed. The one on the right activates the lights…
Almost finished…
The lights aren’t authentic. This was more a “can I do it” sort of build.
The wing lights are all soldered together, as the “flasher”(black thing in the middle of the guts) drives the lights on a common-rail setup. The right-hand button changes the flash rate(off/fast/slow/on).
At the moment, amongst my 501st buddies, this has been renamed the “BS detector”…lol
Enjoy!
