Custom Bazooka for Sideshow Red Hulk!

Continuing my escapades over here: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100008838961611

The latest is a custom addition to the Rulk PF based on an actual WWII US Army M9A1 Bazooka:

1. I did a quick sketch in AutoCAD to make sure of dimensions:

2. And then did a fast 2d print:

This baby was going to be a massive 20 inches long!:jawd:

3. Anyway, I got to work scratch building it. I used all kinds of materials - piping, epoxy clay, rigid foam, styrene, acetate, etc being careful to incorporate as many details from the actual bazooka as possible:

4. Then came paintwork, also being particular about matching the actual item. Customer wanted a battle worn/damaged theme.

And with the final application of some choice decals, the prop was complete!
