AGSMA at FC 2000: Weapons Depot and Armory

AGSMA at FC 2000
Weapons Depot and Armory

Here we are at the Armory for the Final Fantasy Fiasco Team
It would not be complete without a generous assortment of gunblades, guns, whips and chains
(sounds so dominatrix, ne?)
As part of my report on the props that showed up at Fanime,
And since many of you ask how we make guns and gunblades
I've included an evolution guide to the Laguna's Machine Gun and Squall's Revolver
For the Lionheart evolution, you'll have to head over to Squall's homepage.

Weapons
from Fanime

	From Top to bottom, Left to Right Sephiroth's Katana Squall's Lionheart Seifer's Gunblade Rinoa's Blaster Edge Quistis Chain Whip Selphie's Nunchukus Laguna's Machine Gun Squall's Revolver
	All the props that were needed for the Lei WuLong costume, all laid out. The holster attached to the shirt, a pistol, badge, and handcuffs. Oh I guess keys too. Who needs keys?

Laguna's Machine Gun	Laguna's ready to take on all comers with his trusty machine gun. With evolutionary steps detailed at the AGSMA at Fanime Con 2000 Page You'll see that it started off as a pistol, which was soon overtaken by cardboard.
Laguna's Machine Gun Retained Features	It was a cap gun that served as the base for Laguna's rifle, and so there is a door on the side which allows me to change the caps. So it is a working cap gun. Unfortunately, all the cardboard around it dulls out the caps. So this feature wasn't used very much.

Laguna's Machine Gun
Evolution

	Alot has happened already, I didn't think to start this until I got to this stage. The cap gun is already secured with that door open that lets me load caps. As you can see, the original cap gun is silver.
	The barrels are added and some side trim is now added on.
	Lots of steps skipped here as all the finishing trim has been added and the annoying bar, and sights have been added.
	The Final product, in a coat of gloss black. This is essentially the previous picture, just after the paint job.
	A quick comparison of Laguna's Machine Gun to a Battle Droid Blaster Rifle from Episode I

Squall's Revolver
Evolution

	A blade without the gun. Schematics for the contour of the gunblade.
	A close up of the handle with molded finger dents, and a place for the barrel to go, which will be patched up at the end.
	Testing the barrel and blade to see if it will fit will before fixing and painting.
	Close of the handle and trigger before a coat of sculpy goes over it to smooth it out.
	Prototype gunblade with the barrel in place and a painted handle
	The mostly complete gunblade. It's missing the chain at the end of the hilt/handle with the lion's head on it.

On to the next part of the Anthology! Part 3!
