BLAST INTO ACTION: CREATE A KILLER $5 SCI-FI BLASTER WITH DOLLAR STORE FINDS

[@Sphendrana]

I saw a guy earlier this year made a crashed spaceship diorama from dollar store water guns. Now I'm watching a guy make an epic double barrel blaster with dollar store toys and a saw? DOLLAR STORE GOT THE GOOD STUFF MAN HELL YEAH

[@createscifi]

hahah thx

[@charlesswanson8664]

Good to see that $ store blaster builds still have a place in your heart.

[@createscifi]

yup :)

[@RocketPunchHero1]

Right? I agree... Its easy to get sidetracked when working on other projects.

[@neilmurphy966]

Plenty of carbon scoring...this weapon has seen a lot of action 😍😍

[@createscifi]

yes!

[@ironhornet5252]

This is by far one of my favorite KZbin channels. Your passion for building and creating sci-if props is extraordinary and contagious. After every video, I want to go to the nearest dollar store and see what goodies await. Thank you for such great content!

[@SteveGillow]

Really like the idea of $ Store tools for handles, so many different choices.

[@createscifi]

Thx 4 Saying !

[@barryjack3025]

That’s a cool little double barrel pistol. I have a prop from my animation character I have been redesigning for years, a camera /gun , that I would love to build. Maybe next year when I retire!

[@createscifi]

sounds like a plan

[@brianartillery]

The pistols with the red muzzles, look exactly like the blasters from the 1970's 'Buck Rogers' TV show. Your finished blaster prop is seriously cool. Nice one. 👍👍👍

[@createscifi]

thx for say'n

[@LydiaKrow]

Wow - this is so impressive! I like to get creative with cheap stuff for crafting, but I never would have thought of that sawblade as the handle - genius!

[@createscifi]

thx

[@joshuamejia2496]

That's beautiful. I love the pointers you're giving in the end

[@Pietje_Piraat]

Love the design. Would work great in a cult sci-fi space opera

[@createscifi]

for sure

[@euansmith3699]

Another great video. Watching the process unfold is really interesting, and the finished piece looks great.

[@createscifi]

[@kurogiza]

I get some real 80s Buck Rogers vibes from this, very cool build!

[@createscifi]

haha nice

[@metajock]

Nice!!! I did a bunch of Star Wars and Battlestar guns back in the late '70's and early '80's. Was looking forward to getting back into it a bit with a few things, just for fun. Glad your channel showed up on my feed!!! Looking forward to digging thru what you've done, thanks for lighting the fires again!!!

The saw blade handle is pretty smart. Nice tip!

[@createscifi]

[@OutlawMike-g7c]

I made a lil precision sander by glueing a small disc of sandpaper to the replaceable head of an electric toothbrush. Works well.

[@niverian7789]

If I ever could, would love to make a Sci-fi film!

[@createscifi]

you can !

[@RCROSSH]

Hey, your videos are on the top. Thanks so much for your ideas.

[@Matthewsaaan]

Only halfway through the video at the moment: and I think this is one of your best builds yet. Really cool result from using the saw handle. I'd love to see you put some electronics in these so they light up.

[@createscifi]

Thx 4 Saying !

[@SandraOrtmann1976]

That is fantastic. And you are 100 % right about the flat surface glueing. I experienced that the hard way with the thin part of a Boba Fett rocket. I used superglue, and it survived everything. All of the photoshoots, the transport to the con. Then I noticed that I forgot to put my battery for the blinking chest thingy. I went back to my car - jetpack on. Opened the car lid - and snap. What a great guillotine! After that, I tried to reglue it with superglue. No chance. At home, I decided to go for a threaded metal rod and epoxy glue. Seems much more stable now. But of course I still have to be mindful of doors and such.

[@euansmith3699]

Smacking props into doors is part of a rich Star Wars' tradition; just look at that Stormtrooper walking in to the door in the Death Star Trash Compactor scene. 😆

[@createscifi]

agreed!

[@tobiasschenkel5760]

Wow! That blaster turned out great! Just stumbled upon your channel and immedeately subscribed. Great stuff!

[@createscifi]

thankyou TS!

[@jeffreycarman2185]

Such an interesting blaster. I was a bit skeptical about the pic rail on the sides, but it’s so unique and believable at the end that I ended up formulating a back story about how this blaster could be holstered in my head. Very neat work.

[@createscifi]

thx - yeah lot of comments about holster might go ahead and make one :)

[@darklordofsword]

Great piece done dirt cheap, the way it should be. I've really gotten into the graphite finish you showed off a while ago.

[@createscifi]

ya I love that finsih

[@darklordofsword]

@@createscifi I don't normally do this, but I'd love any thoughts you can give on my work.

This video came up on my KZbin homepag and I loved it. A great looking blaster. I have not heard of this channel before, or know anything about it, however, this video alone has earned this guy a new subscriber.

Also, I think a mold tray for greeblies that you can fill with excess resin is kind of brilliant. Waste not want not. :)

[@createscifi]

Thx 4 Saying !

[@neilyb4590]

I think you could do a third barrel on top instead of the sight of all your builds this is my favourite

[@KK4CNM]

For nooks and hard to sand places a lot of times ill use 3M spot puttu or squadron putty, it doesn't kick as hard as bondo and easier to sand down. But you will have to seal over it.

[@createscifi]

cool cool

hahah thx

[@carlosallende2595]

It's been a couple of years since I came across your channel/site/whatever, I liked a short movie you did so much that I shared it with a niece of mine (who's in her early forties(?) and Renee is a Star Wars nut (original 70's and 80's trilogy only, she doesn't consider the other stuff canon), she Loved Loved Loved your video, and so do I. Anyway, I am super glad I've found you again, your laughter is infectious, it cracks us both up, and we feel that you're not just creating sci-fi but that you're creating sci-fi fun! So I don't lose you again I've just subsribed and look forward to checking out (bingeing) on your other videos. This Blaster is inspirational. Keep On Having Fun, Carlos.

[@createscifi]

Wow thanks for sharing the video and story . Much appreciated

[@saeklin]

I think the word you were looking for is "scoring" for the joining surfaces. Also "notching" probably.

[@createscifi]

ok thx

Often times I'll use grey filler primer for that first primer step.

awesome !

[@miikkavalimaki]

That became really nice. I was expecting you to put that lazerpointer between the barrels where is empty space.

[@createscifi]

nice

[@scottthomas6202]

Two jobs ago, the drama department used stuff called Durham's Rock Hard Water Putty to fill gaps and mold shapes. It's water based, doesn't have any real odor, and I think is cheap. I don't know if it would substitute for Bondo or not. Takes a long time to dry ( day or so). The Dollar Tree has a lot of cool stuff......

[@createscifi]

cool

[@thetribunaloftheimaginatio5247]

I find that no matter how much I improve my arsenal of tools and materials, the best tools I have are still the ones at the end of my arms. So no... you're not a weirdo for using your fingers to spread those various pastes. Also, my go-to undercoat of late has been a rattle-can of Army Painter Plate Mail Metal. Army Painter's a good brand... comparable to Citadel, and cheaper to boot.

[@createscifi]

hahah true that

[@thetribunaloftheimaginatio5247]

@@createscifi Army Painter washes are pretty aces... got a bottle of Strong Tone, which works just as well as Citadel's Agrax Earthshade if not better.

[@tiffanymartinez0929]

Maybe try using a nail drill with a file attachment to sand those small areas.

[@ZiddersRooFurry]

Really nice. Kind of reminds me of the laser pistols from Trancers. It looks like it could be a gun from the same company.

[@createscifi]

nice

[@danielibanez4512]

I lovit🤩

[@createscifi]

Thx 4 Saying !

[@Canalus]

That looks dope. How would you go about making it heavier? I always thought that making your prop weapon as heavy as the real thing is what really sells it.

[@the_arcanum]

Stick fishing weights with a copious amount of hot glue in the handle or the chamber (center the mass to those parts, don't weight the barrel, that just make it unwieldy and more difficult for the actor) .

[@Nathankinamorh]

Open up the handle, hot glue in some metal plates. Hot glue fishing weights inside of the plasting housing. A little can go a long ways with those.

[@Canalus]

Thanks!

[@createscifi]

I add lead fishing sinkers - this one was pretty heavy so I didn;t

[@createscifi]

​@@the_arcanum thats the move :)

[@Gabrong]

Really cool. However the side-by-side barrels would make it harder to carry and use. Story and character side it could be important

[@leeroderick]

Perhaps, if it's intended for use by humans... But...

[@createscifi]

yup

[@alexgaytan9236]

This blaster reminds of the double barrel proton gun that Julie-Su had in the Sonic Comics

[@createscifi]

cool

[@Kidapollo92]

Love your channel I was wondering if you did commissions I was trying to get a light saber rifle created the one that Jocosta nu used

[@kerethmakura4502]

Does Bondo add much weight to the prop? I've previously used Milliput for such jobs.

[@createscifi]

a bit

[@LeeBailes]

Looks great - but how do you fire it? no visible trigger?

[@createscifi]

squeeze the handle

[@LeeBailes]

@@createscifi risky though if you have to grip the handle to hold it, high potential for misfires :)

[@KeithDaviesMusic]

this is great, but did you not add a trigger on purpose? 👍

[@createscifi]

yeah its fantasy so no trigger you just squeeze

[@brianartillery]

I read a Doctor Who 'New Adventures' book in the early 1990's, which featured a galactic criminal called Sheldukher. One of his thugs had a highly illegal energy weapon, called a 'Moosehead Repeater'. The USP of this gun, was that it was ridiculously powerful - to the point where it was able to destroy satellites in orbit, or small spacecraft carrying, say, law enforcement personnel. This thing is the size of a large rifle. It'd be awesome to make something like that.

[@createscifi]

oh I like that

[@centaur1a]

You should make a holster for that weapon.

[@createscifi]

yeah for sure

[@ericupchurch2967]

Dollar Store Blaster 🔫🔫🔫

Dollar King? Wish they had some by me...

[@createscifi]

[@rippera45]

It looks oddly similar to the pistol used by Scout Troopers in Return of the Jedi. Maybe a heavier variant of the same blaster?

[@createscifi]

maybe
