It's been a while since I have had the time to work on a model and I was thinking of doing some kind of futuristic weapon.

I was planning to rent District Nine this weekend and like the look of the arc gun. So I might do that.

The good thing about the arc gun is that Weta sold full size props from the movie of several of the weapons including the arc gun so there is a metric butt ton of reference images on the net.

I have seen some models floating around but I would like to build my own.

I have been downloading lots of images and have been studying the details.
