Now go kick some major Alien butt, soldier!

Don't forget that it is a prop! The trigger will break if you are actually pulling it.

You may want to carry it a certain way so it does not block your costume

you can take off the wings and the arrow for storage or transport.

you can always have the gun in rest mode.

Be cautious about people bumping into you as you are walking around crowded areas like conventions or crowds.

Depending on the metal bars you used, the joints may be fragile.

That should be it! A few things to consider: The woodglue will dry clear and will make the fabric rock hard (pic 1) Wrap around the handle, and also the metal joints of the wings. Once dry, dip the entire strip and saturate it in wood glue. I did not have any lights for the gun, so i just painted the gun in a way the gave the illusion that it was illuminated.ДЎ.Take your strip of canvas fabric and soak it in a paint+ water mixture to get it nice and tarnished.Дў. Once everything is painted, i seal with a clear coat.Д§. Just paint it on, rub it around, and then wipe offД¦. Once that was dry, I took a watered down black and used it like a shoe polish to darken the gun to my desired dirtiness. Once all the black is painted, i spray painted all the pieces a silver color (pic 5)ДҐ. I think it's better to start with a uniform color, especially since the whole gun will be a dirty metal color (pic 1- 3)Д¤. This is because the foam and cardboard are all different colors. Therefore, i covered this entire gun in modge podge since nothing was really bending.ДЈ.Once dry, I begin with painting all my pieces black. However, if you have pieces that will not be moving, bending, or squishing, i recommend modge podge. If it is foam, i recommend plastidip as it allows for flexibility without cracking of paint. Also, if you layered any foam on top of each other, you should put caulk around the edges.Дў. Basically, use the caulk to fill in any gaps, unwanted spaces, etc. Once everything is built, it's time to caulk all the adjoining pieces. Detailed explanation within picture (pic 7)ДЎ.

Glue all the pieces in their designated places. Here is a level or something made form eva foam (pic 6)Д¦. I cut out the rest of the details and glued everything together. Detailed explanation within pictures (pic 5-7).Д¦. Glue in your wing caps and also your blade into the bottom wing (pic 4)ДҐ. use your exacto knife to etch in the detail and then accentuate them with the heat gun. Glue the spine into the back of the wing. Detailed explanation in picture (pic 2)ДЈ. You should be able to use your templates to transfer all the pieces you need at this time.

The size should be the same for both top an bottom wing.Дў. Take your measurements and draw out the wing on paper (pic 1). Use your reference pictures to design what that would look like.ДЎ. However, you need to think about what the wing would look like from a face view. So the paper template you draw was from a side profile. Etch in your face details, add your hole punched craft foam rivets, and then glue in your main barrel (pic 15) The diameter should be the same size as the pipe you will use for your arrow. Also create your main barrel by measuring it around your thicker eva foam. Use your paper template and cut out the inner details (pic 13)ДЎ2. I used a block of thick EVA foam and then covered it with craft foam (pic 11 + 12)ДЎ1. Create your mini details and glue in (pic 9 +10)ДЎ0. This also serves to hide the seam of the two thick EVA pieces. Use a strip of EVA foam and glue around the face plate. Glue the mini barrels to the front (pic 8)Д©. Glue the tops onto the pvc pipes (pic 7)ДЁ. Used a dremel to etch in the inner circle. Create the tops of those little barrels using EVA foam. Cut your PVC pipe to the size you will need for the little barrels (pic 5)Д¦. Glue the face plate onto the front of the gun (pic 4)ДҐ. The second layer does not need the middle section (pic 2)Д¤. Use your template to draw and out out 2 layers of from your thick EVA foam. Measure out the space you will want for the face plate and transfer the measurement onto a folded piece of paper.
