More Aliens stuff........

Would anyone be interested in a 1/1 scale M53 Smart Gun from Alien 3? I found one in the Sketchup warehouse. But I cannot find any way to contact the original designer. There's no way to contact him through the warehouse. I am unfolding it at this point but won't post it when finished without his permission. Am I just spitting in the wind on this one?

Have you got an image? Alien 3? I'm drawing a blank on this one. Wasn't that the movie in the series where they had no weapons on that prison planet?

I love the pulse rifle from the second movie. I'm interested if you can put up an image to wet my immagination.

It pretty much has to be the M-56 from "Aliens."

The details on the page include "Aliens <3" which isn't quite the same as "Alien 3" :-)

OK gotcha. That's the one they fired from the hip. A real monster killer!

Love it! I never knew what it was called. Just remember them strapping that thing to the waist and letting go with fully auto mayhem.

Awesome. could do with a few added details, but the design looks solid.

Yep that's the one! Thanks all ror the corrections. I meant to put Aliens but I pulled a bonehead there. Still in the pocess of breaking it down into components similar to Jan Rukr's M-41.

Any thoughts on using this model as a free release with full credit to the author without his permission? I don't feel real comfortable with that. But my design skills are nowhere near on par with that model.

Here is a pic of my M-41 build from a year ago. Please ignore the crummy paint job, I ran out of ink while building it. Resorted to my plastic box for some acrylic paint.

TTBOMK,Jan Rukr has one in the works.It's been in his "WIP" folder for a couple of years now.

Here's a reference pic from sketchup for everyone.

A smart gun!.. Kewl.

Max points for considering due credit itla9000311. I'm in the same boat, and Yep it doesn't taste so good, but I've had to do it a few times, their either M.I.A or just disinterested. Considering how much 3D work gets ripped and rebirthed, I'd say a majority of 3D artists would be satisfied with due credit, even if they do happen to discover it Ex Post Facto.

Don't forget the 'ADIOS' on the side lol
