Hello, I'm Odin, and this time I am going to make something that actually has been requested.
Thank you Leon Takaru, you rock.
I gonna make the Zero Suit Samus gun.
This Paralyzer was originally made for Smosh, and was used in their Smash Rap music video.
It was one of three major props I did for that shoot, the other was Mario Kart Blue Shell,
which I covered in another video, and Mario's green pipe, which was made from
the cardboard tubes used to form concrete columns and some plywood.
To make my pistol, I needed a pattern.
So I downloaded an image from the internet, scaled it to the size that I wanted,
and traced it onto a piece of Plywood.
Then I cut it out on a bandsaw.
I wrap the sides with a couple pieces of 2mm foam, trimming them off after they were glued on.
I decided to start with the pistol Grip, I cut the pattern out of the same piece of paper,
traced it onto more foam, and glued it on with contact cement.
I wrap the edge of the plywood with more foam, and then add little pieces to the back to
continue the pistol grip overlay.
I will sand the edges and round the corners later, but first I will add the butt plate.
To do that I will take two pieces of 5mm foam, stick them together, and sand the edges so they look like one piece.
Then I will glue it on the bottom.
I will use a fresh pattern to make the back of the gun, first I cut two pieces of 5mm foam,
and bevel the bottom edge to meet the grip.
I will need to layer 2 and 5mm foams to make a strip to cover the top of the barrel.
The front of the gun will be made the same way.
And to place the foam correctly, I can use the printout as a stencil.
I will add the top piece first, and then the two sides.
So I've got these parts put on.
Now on the original one I just left them square, but this time I wanna go ahead and round them off with a sander.
The random orbit sander removes material very quickly, I have to be careful,
or I will just gouge the foam.
To add more depth and detail, I will add a layer of 2mm foam.
It's fun working with contact cement like this.
Once it sets up, it's like putting on stickers.
I am going to use 5mm foam for the front of the barrel.
I will start with tracing my pattern on one side, then I can wrap the foam around the
gun to figure out where the other side needs to be cut.
Since this foam is thicker, I will heat the foam and make it curved before I glue it on
with a heavy coat of cement.
The bottom of the front barrel is also going to be 5mm foam with a 2mm foam overlay,
but I am not going to sand it, it will remain square.
So I just use 2mm foam to cover the wood.
To make all the small details on each side of the pistol, I am using self-adhesive 2mm foam.
It sticks really well to the contact cement, so applying all the little pieces is easy.
To add the round button or hinge that goes on each side, I cut a disc of foam using a
hole cutter from a large grommet set.
For the safety switch I stick two pieces of the adhesive foam together to make a slightly
thicker piece, and glue that on end to one side.
Before I make the trigger assembly, I am going to sand the grip into a more rounded shape.
I just want to round off the corners, and the cut outs.
So the way the trigger is drawn on the paper isn't gonna work out in foam, not very well,
so I'm gonna go ahead and square it off.
To make the trigger and trigger guard, I cut the whole thing out of one piece of 5mm foam,
then I add some 2mm foam pieces to bulk it up and define the trigger.
Then I just cement the trigger assembly to the gun.
The exposed wood will be painted black later.
Now to start on the muzzle.
First I'll make the lower part, I just cut some of the thick foam like a tiny tombstone,
and glued a small washer onto it.
To make the smaller hole, I poked the foam with my smallest soldering iron.
Make sure you have ventilation if you try this, the fumes it makes kinda smell like death.
Now I need to make the barrel.
On the original gun I just super glued and acrylic tube onto the end of it, which promptly broke off.
With the correct one, I'd like to go ahead and make a hexagonal little tube to come out
of the front of it, but it's kind of a cone shape too, so a hexagonal cone?
Yeah, that's gonna be fun.
To make the cone, I will stick adhesive foam together again and cut six small strips.
Then I can guess at what taper to cut for the sides.
And I made all my cuts with an angle.
I'll super glue the pieces together, and squeeze them into the front.
The cone worked out fine, I will just trim the sides to be straight.
Then I can add the additional vent muzzle thingy on the top.
I liked using the soldering iron on the foam, so I add a few more points on the trigger,
and pilot holes for some screws I can put in after I paint.
The first coat of paint is just flat black spray paint, mostly to seal the exposed contact cement.
Then I can mix some craft paints for a grey to coat most of the body,
then paint the grip brown, and the butt plate a bright silver.
I don't want to weather the gun to make it look dirty, I think Samus takes care of it.
Then I will add four small screws to the side as a final decoration.
And now you can make your own Zero Suit Samus pistol.
Heck, you could modify my ideas and make a blaster all of your own.
The list of materials I used is pretty small, so I will put them in the description for you.
Now remember, there's many different ways that you can make something,
but this is how Odin Makes.
