PSYCHO PASS: DOMINATOR Replica build WIP by DNPdesigns

Hello,
I am Denis from DNPdesigns. I´m an 18yo Artist/Designer from Germany.


Im building Replicas of Movie and Game Props on a comission basis since 2012!
(here is my site: http://ift.tt/1HEXTcL)


At the moment, I am working on a replica of the Dominator from PSYCHO PASS and thought this community would be Interested in following the progress.





However, here is some of my earlier work:























And here is what I got so far on the Dominator Project:




I decided to Lasercut these parts from 3mm Acrylic. To get the Design right, I worked out a concept by making a 3D Model:











Then I started of with Vector design in Adobe Illustrator:







I printed out the Lasercutting Vector Plan to check it





Then I arranged the parts, so I can cut them and printed it out again:







I decided to make a Testbuild.
I had no glue stick so I transfered it to cardboard with a gluegun.







The size is right (33cm long)















Found the first mistake, it´s too thin. So I added 2 more Layers







I found 3 mistakes in total and here ist the 4th one:




Some Final tests on my Vector design






Sooooo... The File is finally ready to go!


When it comes to Lasercutting, placement is KEY!










One costs 145€ (= 157$) and the other just 97€ (=105$)
Everything is the same, just the placement is different!




LoL, somehow the price dropped from 105 to 88€ xD xD xD





The Order to the Lasercutting Company is send. I payed about 98€ in total
