Props Halo 3 Flamethrower 2.0 Build

[SgtSkittle117]

Hello, Since I have been MIA on building props or being active on here, I figure it was time to slowly crawl out of the hole and build something. That something is another Flamethrower from Halo 3. First thing is I built a new frame for the flamethrower.

I used 3/4 inch PVC pipe for the frame.

Then I made this part for the fuel canister and used a bowl as a go to for lining it up.

This will be the inner part of the canister. It is 5.5 inches wide.

Once I made the inner part I made the outer parts with 1 inch tall on both sides.

Once again I used a bowl to trace it out. You can get a cheap bowl from Walmart.

I cut it at a 45 degree angle
.
Glued it on to both sides.


I kinda eyed it up from the toy and measured some of this part.

Made a couple then glued it together.

One of my friends mentioned I should use quarters as spacing but I figure I use the Rockstar tabs.

Cut 28 of these parts out to put it in.


This is what its at currently above.

This is version 1.

So I made a little more progress on this project. I was looking at the toy as a reference and tried drawing up so plans.

Then I made the main core of the barrel. More details will be put on later.

Then I made this part where the barrel and tubes meet the other tubes and round part. the one on the right was the 3rd attempted. the left was the 2nd while trying to sand some parts to not make it curved.

"Turn it back, or turn it to ash!" This is going to be amazing I can feel it.

Some more progress has been made. The big round tank in the center. I had to bust out a ruler and put a smaller hole at the end to make this circle.

I had made 2 big circles to cut out and 2 smaller ones to make for details.

I cut both out and made the center piece 3.5" thick. Glued them together. Took a ruler to cut out a few inches so the pipe can lay in there properly

Made the big canister and used the square dowels again.

The core of it has been built. Still have a few parts to be made.

Thank you, I can't wait to get it done!

Added more details and foam dowels for the tubes. It is almost done with building it.

Finally added the heat shields to the flamethrower and some googly eyes for detail along with a pressure gauge. The pressure gauge can unscrew. I may also try to move the dial to make it have something.

Not much ore has been done. Just added a few more details. and the small little exhaust.

 

[SgtSkittle117]

Opened the pressure gauge and toyed with it to make it look like something was there

Put some foam in between the couplings and sanded the numbers and letters on it. Also Got the first layer of plastidip on.

I had started painting it a different a a hunter green, but I wasn't a fan of how it looked. I repainted it black then finally found a good color.
