The bodywork and paint job make this Pulse rifle look movie accurate, amazing what you can achieve with hard work! A missed opportunity from the Alien franchise to make a Colonial Marine movie!
That’s looks awesome. I got the Archive paints for my Star Wars stuff. I’m not good with mixing colors so it’s great to have the actual colors. And I have trains so it works for that also. Enjoy your work and I always learn something from your videos.
Turned out awesome. I am working on two Han Solo blasters . One for my cousin and one for myself. I'm copying the work that you did in your video last year. Thanks for the inspection. Looking forward to seeing what you work on next.
The only ammo that comes out of a pulse rifle during fire is what is aimed at the enemy. M41A's use caseless ammo which does not require a heavy casing to be ejected each shot. Pretty much a form of rocket ammo.
That's correct, but the pulse rifle is a fictional gun made by taking a M1A1 Thompson, the front cage and pump from a Franchi SPAS 12, and a bunch of aluminum shrouds to link them together. The mechanical parts of those guns were still functional and exposed, so to make a screen accurate replica you need to take all of that into consideration and reproduce what is visible - even if what you see makes no sense based on the canonical description of a weapon.
An awesome job you did Chris. Im working on one now, i sanded down the nerf lettering with a hobby needle file, which only took about 10 mins to do (my fingers are hurting now) lol. I did use my dremel like you did on the aliens lettering. After you finished sanding off all the black markings off the mag casing, did you give the rest of the rifle a sand to remove the sheen before you primered?
Nice video, cool paint job. Quick question, did you paint the underside of the grenade launcher "slide" after painting it with it in the "fire position", vs the "charging position"? And does it still fire Nerf "darts/rounds" and "grenades"?
Yes, I pulled back the slide and painted under as well in both positions. The grenade fires just fine. The bullets still fired fine after the first paint job. After this 2nd mod and removing the inner barrel, it will not get through a whole clip without jamming. The bullets can get stuck in the area you can see through above the grenade. In hind sight, I wish I would've removed maybe half the barrel. But I really got it for the look. Firing was not a priority
@@modelsbychris I picked one up a few months back and have been watching various mod videos on YT looking to see what can and can’t be done and how best to approach the main painting part of things (I don’t own an airbrush presently), so cans will have to do. I loved that black paint that you used on the barrel and receiver early in the video. Looks great in the photos later on. Did you seal the applied paints afterwards (after the weathering) or just leave as is?
Why would you highlight the brown bess with silver?? It's clearly a modern polymer gun. The Army doesn't have time to "paint metal" for each of their troops.
Looks pretty realsitic to me. Some folks simply "overdue" the weathering" and aging which sometimes looks ridiculous. Awesome job!
Agreed

as a kid I remember my dad giving me a full size replica of this gun and it was super heavy, this looks really good 👍
One of the best repaints I have seen. Excellent work and a great display piece.
Thank you
Magazine, not clip!
Beautiful work.
I love the brown. It's more akin to the version used in the video game. Awesome video.
Looks great! I'm going to use your video as the basis for my own repaint! Thanks for posting

Great Chris! I love your work, many thanks!
Great video bro! Thanks for taking your time and going step-by-step. I can’t wait to customize mine.!
This is an amazing guide, I’ll be using this video to paint mine 👍
Excellent repaint!

Nice ref video for when I do mine, great job 👍🏻
Nice work Chris.
Fantastic replica mate, top drawer 😉👌
Awesome.
excellent work!
Excellent man. Great Stuff.
Dude get the Snow Wolf. That thing weighs 10lbs, fires at 800rpm and scares me
Awesome !!!!!!!
Great work! I don’t think we are still using clips in 2179 though
Great Video!!!

@@AllThingsMech Are you telling me a gun from 2171 is fictional?!
I did but the external shell I painted white.. matching with my outfit

I did not. I just primered. Just sanded the raised areas and black markings

@@marottamonster I did seal with Tamiya flat coat.
Did you paint this without taking it apart?
Yes
Thanks!
@@modelsbychriswas the Tamiya matte black paint applied by paintbrush or spray paint?
@@TheSeptuagint spray can

Movie version is green and Black, not brown and black
Incorrect. There were both green and brown, and the screen used Ripley gun was brown. I have reference photos that I used for painting.
@@modelsbychris no they where not. And ripleys gun is green
@@danevirke I'm not gonna argue with you, sorry
@@modelsbychris i we arguing….? I don’t see like that, but okay no problem.
@danevirke I just don't want to get into a heated discussion back and forth about who's right. Both colors were used and I went with the brown.
