40k Brought to LIFE! With 3D Printing, Painting, Cosplay

The only thing funnier would be if this was a Lasgun, the falling apart at the start would be lore accurate.

Would be cool if nerf made a 40k range. Could have bolters, meltas etc.

That is really nice, but now you need to go for the REAL challenge: A HOLSTER ! Leatherworking for a holster like that would be pretty easy, and printing a Eagle and getting it gold would be pretty good.

"Haven't pulled the trigger...." I see the pun game is still on target. And this episode was almost like a variant of "Models and Memories" as well.

lol, I think my favorite part is Jay just looking at the camera and sanding....

i actually started making plasma pistol prop some time ago, but it is very primitive design (i wasn't very good at 3d modeling) so i think i'll edit it, to look more like your pistol, thanks for inspiration! :)

This same model was actually one of the first 3D prints I finished and painted, which has now spiraled into painting miniatures. I still have the finished prop on my bookshelf. I had to go get mine while I was watching and reminisce, since our processes for prep were very similar. Primer, filler spray, lots and lots of sanding. Oh, and those small ridged parts you left out are the magazine release latches (the squares) and the safety (the rectangle) that go on the flat squares at the rear of the magazine well and in one of the rectangular grooves in the rear portion of the body, respectively. They don't really have a way to snap in, so I can see how it's easy to just ignore them, but rarely do 3D prints have parts that aren't used.

The beginning reminds me of those seens in war movies when we see a guy disassembling and reassembling his rifle. Haven't gotten farther than a minute yet, but I hope it stays to where you can disassemble it again as if you were doing a deep clean of the weapon.

"lOooK aT THAAAT" Lmao proper funny

I have a 3d printed chainsword and bolt pistol. Your sanding tips and the video as a whole have been absolutely invaluable in order to make progress. My deepest thanks.

jay said i needed to watch this after his stream so here I am doing my homework like a good student

"That was a good noise, I'm sure." -best representation of my 3d printing and hobby experience

Great build and video. A couple things that might help you along in the future. 1) holster wear is a real thing 2) carbon build up on the barrel and ejector port adds use 3) A drill holster would probably work for this piece 4) An electric tooth brush can be converted to a detail sander with swappable grits pretty easily 5) research finishing 3D prints like acetone smoothing. Good luck.

Absolutely wild to hear someone else had the exact same experience as me, doing cosplay and props in high-school watching one day builds before moving onto miniature painting using the skills I learned in cosplay and occasionally doing a prop build here and there

Very cool project, it turned out fantastic. Would love to see more prop videos you obviously have a gift for doing them.

I've been looking at these for ages and now really want. This looks amazingly good!

Super cool! I think my only (minor) comment would be I think the finger grooves could have been a black "insert", might have added a little more variation/believability? Love it otherwise though. Would definitely be up for seeing more in a series of this kind!

Really enjoyed this one Jay and you did a great job on it. Definitely up for more prop style builds
