tundrayeti Posted June 2, 2010 Posted June 2, 2010 (edited) Okay the next new project that Thor and I will be attempting will be the Gallant H-90 sidearm from MOSPEADA. I have always thought the weapon was very cool and it turns out Thor does too. So we will be making the Gallant complete with interchangeable parts. (barrel extension, rifle stock etc.) I have attached the preliminary CAD drawing I have done and will be posting my progress as this replica is being made. Thor will be doing some #D renderings so that we can get the parts to fit together right so watch for those too. Any suggestions, comments are also welcomed. Edited April 14, 2013 by azrael Quote
Tober Posted June 2, 2010 Posted June 2, 2010 Looks like a good start. 1/1 scale replicas arn't really my thing but I'm sure it will look awesome all painted up etc. Quote
tundrayeti Posted June 3, 2010 Author Posted June 3, 2010 (edited) Looks like a good start. 1/1 scale replicas arn't really my thing but I'm sure it will look awesome all painted up etc. It's not everyone's cup of tea, But I've always thought the design was cool and since I was a kid I've always wanted one. I know I'm not the only one, but I figured it would still be a cool project. I am still debating on whether or not to make this a static prop or add lights and sounds.

EXO Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 I've never bought a resin 1:1 gun... Is it goin to feel like a real gun or an airsoft? Or is is going to feel more like a resin model kit? Just wondering cuz Gallant would be awesome if you can handle it like an actual gun. Good luck with your project! Quote
Knight26 Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 Very cool, would be awesome if you could make it into an airsoft kit, build it around the reciever of an airsoft AEG, work the mag into the feed system and actually fire it with the sound effects, that would be epic cool, kind of like the shirow gun kits people make to mod airsoft guns with.

tundrayeti Posted June 4, 2010 Author Posted June 4, 2010 Thanks for the input everyone. Perhaps this will answer some of those questions. My plan is to do the mockup out of PVC and aluminum. I have to hollow out the design to make room for electronics. I wasn't planning on adding airsoft type mechanisms. I would like it to have heft and weight to feel more like a real weapon. I was going to use an led in the barrel to simulate the energy discharge. Since the weapon is modular, I will have to figure out a way to connect some of the electronics, yet still have the pistol operate independently. I don't plan on resin casting anything, but if there is interest in this on a larger scale, I may consider casting some parts, but not all, if anything to keep costs lower. I will be doing some quick layouts this weekend and hope to have pictures soon. Quote
tundrayeti Posted June 7, 2010 Author Posted June 7, 2010 Sorry I meant to post pics and then my company had me on a plane early this morning. I am in Texas right now, I will be posting some more design pics for ideas / feedback. it will keep me occupied at the hotel Quote
tundrayeti Posted June 17, 2010 Author Posted June 17, 2010 Sorry it took a while but my company had me out in Texas for a week so I didn't get to post these. Here is my initial mock-up of the H-90 the one cutout is to gauge the internal structure for electronics, etc. I have some pretty big paws, but i can still hold the weapon fairly easily. Next step will be to actually make this full thickness. Any comments or suggestions are appreciated. Quote
derex3592 Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 SWEEEEEEET!!!!! Hope you enjoyed TX, I like it! (minus the heat and humidity) Quote
EXO Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 You must have HUGE Paws because the gun looks really freakin tiny! Are you working off Japanese specs and trying to reamin faithful to lineart measurement? Quote
tundrayeti Posted June 18, 2010 Author Posted June 18, 2010 SWEEEEEEET!!!!! Hope you enjoyed TX, I like it! (minus the heat and humidity) I was in San Antonio and all it did was rain the whole week. I've been there many times and I love it but that week was miserable because of the humidity. Thanks for your input. Quote
tundrayeti Posted June 18, 2010 Author Posted June 18, 2010 You must have HUGE Paws because the gun looks really freakin tiny! Are you working off Japanese specs and trying to reamin faithful to lineart measurement? I am working off the Japanese specs, In fact I used the lineart to help me get the initial shape for the CAD drawing. I will admit that i Teaked it slightly to accommodate the hand better (okay at least enough to fit mine in. I am posting a Cad pic with some dimensions, and from what I have researched, this should be correct. The problem I have found with the Gallant is that when you watch the show, it always looks so different every time you see it. That makes it Very difficult to come up with an accurate replica. When I watched the show, It appears that the barrel extension for the Gallant is the same width as the weapon, but according to the lineart, the barrel is about 2 inches in diameter. That would make the gallant a very thick weapon and extremely cumbersome to use. I'm going to take a little creative license here and try to make it as close to the lineart as possible, but at the same time make it as practical as possible. I am also attaching the lineart drawing that I used. Quote
Ghadrack Posted June 19, 2010 Posted June 19, 2010 I think you have a little leeway on the sizes, I may be remembering incorrectly, but doesn't it anime magic perfect fit the user in either civilian or armored mode? Quote
tundrayeti Posted June 21, 2010 Author Posted June 21, 2010 I think you have a little leeway on the sizes, I may be remembering incorrectly, but doesn't it anime magic perfect fit the user in either civilian or armored mode? That's so true. I figure that when I am done, this will be a fair approximation of the Gallant. Watching the show did kinda drive me a little batty with all the variation. Sorry for the bad resolution... That's Okay Akim Thanks for the lineart! Quote
tundrayeti Posted June 28, 2010 Author Posted June 28, 2010 okay here's an update. started on the full blown mockup, got the middle section with all the cutouts. I'm adding in a cutout for the "clip" so here's some photos of the cutout section and the side that will enclose it so i can add electronics etc. i will be doing a bit of sanding to smooth out the contours in the handle and the middle column parts. I will cut out the outer shell and the "barrel" parts next. Quote
tundrayeti Posted August 2, 2010 Author Posted August 2, 2010 Hey everyone. This project is still kicking, I had to go out of town for work. Been travelling for 3 out of the last 4 weeks so I have been unable to work on the Gallant. I did spend a few hours this weekend and I will be posting updates soon. Thanks. Quote
tundrayeti Posted April 14, 2013 Author Posted April 14, 2013 Okay reviving this thread, I will have this ready for Wonderfest. the system will be modular and will eventually have electronics. Folks can buy the pistol and the rifle and barrel extensions will be optional. Quote
tundrayeti Posted April 14, 2013 Author Posted April 14, 2013 I will have one painted up for display at Wonderfest. Quote
sreichma Posted April 14, 2013 Posted April 14, 2013 Please let me know the cost for the full kit painted when its ready. I'll buy one and display it on a stand. Quote
tundrayeti Posted April 15, 2013 Author Posted April 15, 2013 Well the pistol kit will go for $125 and the rifle stock and barrel extensions ( shoulder strap included ) will be $200. Painting will be extra so please send me a PM Quote
captain america Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 I'm glad to see that this project is finally coming to fruition! Quote
Zor Primus Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 Wow! Great work! Look forward to seeing a completed painted model. Quote
DarrinG Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 Do Inbit Troopers really stop and turn around when you click it on? This is SWEET - Nice work... Quote

Zor Primus Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 Do Inbit Troopers really stop and turn around when you click it on? This is SWEET - Nice work... Ha! x 2 Just imagine turning this one and EVERYONE stopping and turning around with red glowing eyes....RUUUUUUUUUN! Quote
tundrayeti Posted May 5, 2013 Author Posted May 5, 2013 I've already been casting this bad boy and will have an update soon. Started painting the parts so I hope to have one ready for display soon. Quote
Alex Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 You're not based in Japan, are you? If not, pleeeease tell me you ship to Japan! Quote
Larry A. Mager Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 Greetings to All! Larry A. Mager here. IN answer to Exo, Depending on how dense the resin castings are, any weapon can be ultra light ( and fragile) or unearthly heavy. I have held very light Phaser rifles w/ electronics and 10 lb solid cast Phaser rifles. What would be really nice, would be a pistol frame made of heavy gauge aluminum. I don't expect one anytime soon. Back in the late 70's when I was 20 something, a fellow named ( I kid You Not) James T. Kirk put out a Phaser 2 that was aluminum and it would take A LOT of abuse.....I never should have sold it. Any way, I am very impressed with the work being done on the H-90. I'd really like to see photos of the painted version and a little more info on the electronics. Hope to hear from You all soon, Cheers, Larry A. Mager Larrymager@yahoo.com Quote
