The Noisy Cricket blaster, from the movie Men in Black, has been on Bill's list to make for years! Resin 3D printing, molding and casting, electronics, and stellar metallic painting really bring this prop to life! Bill has spent years learning Fusion 360 to be able to make 3D models like this and would love to show you how! Check out our new course:

Here's my new Beginner’s Guide to Fusion 360 video course! www.punishedprops.com/shop/fusion360-beginner-course/

@thepatcave1 2 года назад

So cool to see, thanks! Always been such an iconic gun. I have builds of some replicas of the bigger guns on my channel if you ever want to take a look. The Series 4 Deatomizer and the Tri-Barrel. We used Spaz-Stix for the Deatomizer and it blends great with all the metal parts and the Tri-Barrel is metal plated.

@andrewpatton2482 2 года назад

I just bought your fusion 360 course and I am just beyond giddy down to my soul thinking about all the things I am going to do with this knowledge!! Thank you!

@GrimwoodHollow 2 года назад

WOW! So I was one of the lead Special FX prop artists who created these for the first Men In Black film! We made all of the hero guns and gadgets, including the Neuralizers, but the Noisy Cricket was always my favorite! This is sooooo much cleaner than the ones we made though, haha, we hand sculpted and machined all the parts and then had some of them cast in metal at a foundry, they were pretty crude! But they looked great on film! I recently posted a video on my channel all about how we created these props and showing my personal behind the scenes photos! Thought you might dig it! Awesome job! Cheers😄👍

Hey here’s a link to my video if you want to check it out! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YXyy-wpNkTM.html I also posted videos of props we created for Stargate and Broken Arrow, and I’m going to do videos about the props we did for Independence Day, T2-3D, and more! So check back for sure if you’re interested! Thanks again! Cheers!😄👍

@DavidLinkan Год назад

Thanks for sharing, I've found your video and gonna watch it. Props for movies work on film, but some of the most iconic props are always rude : The Lament Configuration in Hellraiser is a dumb wood cube with some laser cut metal sheets all over, and the Arc Gun in District 9 is wood blocks painted white, so crude you can still see the wood grain under the paint... Hey, it's movie magic and this is why we do it. :)

@ShahriyarMustafiz Год назад

Really lovely detailed build. If the grips are flat you could of just stuck them down and built a small wall around them and filled it with silicone. It would have used less expensive silicone and be easy to demould being open face without trapping air. The vids you both produce are just brill, so full of great ideas and innovation. You are always showing us new things to try and learn. Thanks.

in making beads i use floral foam in a nice little metal box to hold my mandrels might work with your skewers and would take up less room in paint booth/area. my two cents, keep the change.

@pherja 2 года назад

Great work!!!!!! What a fun gun to build. Modeling sci-fi gun props has become a bit of an obsession for me recently. It’s great to see how you went about chopping yours up for printing and assembly. Tippy tip, since you used translucent resin, you should be able to simply dab a bit of the same resin on two parts, assemble, then hit it with a UV lamp or flashlight for a few seconds to bond it, as if it were layer to layer. :) It doesn’t work well with opaque resins as the light doesn’t reach the center. (though now that I think of it… I guess you could just put it around the edges) Since we’re on the subject tip #2 You can use liquid resin instead of epoxy for filling in gaps, smoothing out parts, etc warm resin and resin thinned with a bit of IPA works wonders. Makes your stuff glossy smooth too.

Why not a flat one part mold for the grips?

Banana flavoring isn't necessarily fake. Banana flavored things are made from a banana species that doesn't exist anymore.

next time put the batteries in the pistol grip en wire them to the magnets so 1 magnet is positive and the other negative and than put the switch some where else !

@RealAndySkibba 2 года назад

If you ever do an update, it'd be really neat to have the hammer act as the switch for the LEDs. Incorporate a detented toggle switch the hammer print could slide over. Pull it back to turn on.

@punishedprops 2 года назад

That's a pretty great idea!

@leglessinoz 2 года назад

Redesign the trigger and put a tiny microswitch behind it.

@freman 2 года назад

see if you can squeeze the batteries flat into the bottom of the tray, switch hammer... or put the batteries in the hammer compartment and just have the switch be a metal contact between them...

@matthewspitz1733 2 года назад

Came to the comments to say the same thing!

@TONGS030586 2 года назад

Perhaps a micro switch in the trigger assembly would be rad too

@AzraelThanatos 2 года назад

For things like cutting the steel rod, or anything else that has a tendency to go flying when cut, grab a large ziplock andmake the actual cut with it inside the bag. Bag's transparent so you can see what you're doing, and it catches the parts. Another, potential, improvement for a future revision of the design might be to link the switch to the hammer, which would add a bit of fun there when using it in functionality

@punishedprops 2 года назад

Great idea, thanks for sharing! =)

@JoseFGonzalezPerez 2 года назад

Maybe you know about this but still: copper tape has conductive glue (designed to be simply overlapped) and takes solder very well that could be a solution to streamline the battery and LEDs pack. Great video!!

I did not know that, thanks for sharing!

I laughed about the method of finding the circumference for the gel. It would’ve been easier timide the calipers to measure the diameter. Or even better measure it from the CAD drawing and then c=pi*d (or pi*(d/2)) But us makers forget maths when we are in the zone 😉

If you do a V3: The hammer would make a good switch. External contact points which mate to power on a display stand would be great for allowing it to be displayed with the light on and not having to change out batteries. A capacitor inside would allow for the light to stay on when it is removed from the stand. Also, why not make a flat mold for the grip scales?

Interesting fact about the 'fake banana' flavor. It is actually not that it is a fake taste, it is just that it is based on a type of banana that no longer exist. The Gros Michels banana, which was larger and more flavorful was wiped out by a fungus. The bananas we eat today are of the Cavendish variety which happens to be resistant to the fungus that wiped out the Grow Michels banana. I know this is totally unrelated but I just learned bout this recently and figured I would share...
