Artist's Comments

(Full view is best.) Here it is, the real-life LEGO version of the Jackal. This is what I made my MLCAD model from. The reference picture is here -> [link]

Specs-
Length: 39.1 cm
Weight: about 1 lb
Scale: about 1/1

Working parts -
Hammer: it moves in when the trigger is pulled
Slide: it slides forward on its own after being pulled back

Miscellaneous notes-
If you look closely, you'll see the rear sight is close to what's seen in the reference picture.
I made the inscription - "Jesus Christ is in Heaven now" - by printing off a picture of it from an art book picture and sticking it onto the barrel.
The grip has studs on it because that's really the only way to get the width of the handle right.
It's strong enough to be pointed like a real gun, but it has to be re-stuck together after each time, because some of the pieces separate slightly under its own weight.

Thanky! Heh, I said it was cooler in real life. XD
Yep, regular blocks and plates. I put a 2x2 hinge on the handle - with 2 center stud 1x2s on top - to make the trigger move. I made some instructions that I could put in Scraps (or I could e-mail it to you) if you want to have a look. But something happend and part of them got cut off - they're still quite usable, though.

Thanks! ^^ Well, I knew the basic dimensions (390 mm long), and I had some reference pics. I then basically just started playing around with some bricks to make the front of the barrel. It took me about 4 tries to get the size right, but then I had to figure out how I was going to do the slide (the slide bricks and the barrel bricks actually run perpendicular). Once I got the barrel size down, the only other tough part was doing the handle - and getting the slide to work (rubberbands are great :D ).
If you want to do a LEGO Jackal, then I can give you the URL for MLCAD (and the instructions for my model). Otherwise...I don't know much about Rhino, but if it's a CAD program, then I'd say simply start with a long, rectangular box or two, and work from there. (Y'know, you've just inspired me to download Milkshape again. :nod: )
If you decide to make one, good luck, and let me know if/when you post it, k?

HOLYCRAP I am in awe. Especially of that sticker on it. Does it have a working slide/trigger/hammer/anything?
:iconaceofdeath:
Thanks! Yeah, can't see the brick lines here. :D

Hehe, thanks - glad you like. :D I put the sticker on just before I took the pic, and I was really impressed about how much it added to the whole effect.

Did you even glance at the description? XD Anyway, yeah, all of the above.

That's amazing! I still can't believe it's made form LEGOs! I especially like the "Jesus Christ is in Heaven now" on the barrel.
