Making the ZF-1 from THE FIFTH ELEMENT (1997) - Part 1

The amount of engineering that went into this is truly a labour of love. You can tell it costs a crazy amount by the website saying "MAKE AN ENQUIRY"

[@DaBuild]

Honnestly, for the amount of work and parts in there, he is not making any money....trust me.

[@Theonlyshaun]

This is going to be an epic build. Looking forward to part 2!

[@DaBuild]

Thanks! Me too! 😬Back at it this weekend

[@menedon9599]

Nice video. Great start to an epic build. Can't wait for the next part :)

[@DaBuild]

Much appreciated! Cheers! 🤗

[@NefariousElasticity]

Kudos on getting your kid involved in the build. This is the kinda thing my dad would make me stay at the furthest possible part of the house for while he'd build it when I was young haha

[@DaBuild]

Every time I can, I do it. It used to be my daughter but she got older. My son really enjoys it and so do I.

[@davidlabeaute6072]

Vraiment intéressant! J'adore ce fusil! J'ai hâte de voir la suite.

[@DaBuild]

Merci David!

Amazing kit, been following Jake's progress on the RPF and Instagram for years and truly a labor of love and dedication to one of the most iconic weapons in movie history. Can't wait to see part 2!

[@jimcrafton2615]

Sooooo so cool!!! Can’t wait for part 2!!!

[@DaBuild]

Much appreciated Jim! Stay tune. I m back in the shop this afternoon for part 2 ❤️

[@NewMessage]

Oh, what's that little red button on the bottom of the gun? * entire building explodes *

[@DaBuild]

My favorite! 😁

[@jamiebmorton]

This is fantastic. I would love one of these, but I am scared of enquiring about the price.

[@DaBuild]

For everything that this is, the price is nothing. My 2 cents. It cost nothing to ask 🤷

[@irondude6278]

I think for your next project you should make Optimus primes sword and shield

[@DaBuild]

That be big!!! 😬 And I like it!

[@Is_This_Really_Necessary]

2 questions: Firstly, will it be capable of transforming from storage mode to gun mode? Secondly, will it be fully functional?

[@DaBuild]

1- Storage mode transformation is CGI in the movie. It's physically impossible. 2a- The closest someone aver made it fully fonctionnal (I presume shooting everything) was Adam Savage on Discovery channel: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4TJoKapi56iqa8 2b- The main components will open and close with sound without shooting anything

[@makeitsonumberone1358]

It would be like bmw over engineered lol

[@DaBuild]

😂

[@sjorlando7282]

When is part2?

[@DaBuild]

Good question. Problably 3-4 weeks I'd say. Getting back at it tomorrow!
