Shotty, what was the last song in the Video?
it sounded a little like Bloodhound Gang, but I don't think it was.
I want it!

Pipebombs have saved our arses sooooo many times when the hoards come running.

Hey guys thanks for the feedback.
In all honesty I just wanted to make a cool prop from a game I throughly enjoy playing. I guess to someone who doesn't play Left 4 Dead, would only see me making a bomb instead of a iconic prop. I think of it this way.. I didn't make 'A' pipebomb, rather I made 'THE' pipebomb from L4D. Does that make sense?.

I was hoping it being so stylised that it wouldn't pass as a real world bomb (whatever they look like). Besides, I don't think it is illegal to make something look like a bomb unless it was used in a threatening manner? I hope not anyways...
I guess Youtube would take the video down if they considered it distasteful, and if so then I'm willing to cooperate.

Thanks to all for the kind words

gooduck: can't wait to see that MGL

Inky: Thank you

Gixergs: Thanks mate, I'm sure you'll see my cat a lot more in future videos as she has discovered the mouse cursor is fun to attack.

Airdave: The song at the end is from the game. I think it was meant to be an easteregg for when you play the Jukebox a few times. It's found in the music folder of the game.

mchale: Thanks!, I was thinking about releasing the template for others to build when my website was up but I'm kinda hesitant to release it.

Stev0: mine too, mine too.

Dear 81:
1. It's from a video game
2. 1to 1 scale fits in with paper guns handgrandes ect.
3. what programs did you use to make the paper model?
4. From the title I expected a gray tube and a length of string.
5. I was impressed with the compexity of your model.
Go forth make more card models, push the boundrys. I for one would like to see the file of parts Note I like PDF files. if for the joy of watching the video and looking at the two D form.
THANKS
MILES

Very cool video! Planning on making more?

Hey Miles, I used 3dsmax 2012 and Pepakura Designer 3. Both awesome software and recommend them a lot!. Thanks for the kind words.

Hey Mechanic, very much so. I might have to give it a rest til I find another job though. With the current state of the videogame industry, I was made redundant a week ago after 5 years of working there :( So looking for another job and working on my portfolio has to take top priority for now.
All of my other videos are on youtube also, you can find them here if you want to see:

Love your build I too make game props.

[The Omega Man]

Well damn! I better hide my 1/1 scale paper, metal, and plastic mock-up of the W54 SADM I made before the fearful ABC storm troopers come charging at my door!!! For one thing, inert is inert, and they cant do jack squat if you know your local, state, and federal laws in wanting to build an inert static display. You guys need to get out more beside hiding behind building plans, trains, and automobiles. Man I need to post the PDO stuff I have come across. Would blow your minds.
