Tougher men prefer bigger guns, don’t they? It’s high time you got one for yourself, don’t you think? Well, for starters, how about a Bio-force gun a la Rock in Doom? Sound good? Then, let’s see if we can put one together ourselves. To build the BFG, you need to focus on two key aspects - the chassis and the circuit. And you would also require deft fingers, an eye for detail and truckloads of patience. The first step to the creation of the BFG is building the chassis. You can start by working on a cardboard model with the dimensions measured out and cut to scale. Once you have developed a basic cardboard sample of the BFG, you can replicate the same on a TRESPA panel plate. With the same dimension, cut the external chassis and the compartments in the internal frame. For the blowholes, you can use a custom drill. Drill all these parts together to form the primary chassis.
For the bio-fluids (Swiftech HydrX anti-corrosion/alg UV Green,in this case), you can use glass mini-jars. Make sure that the jar compartments and the jars are cut to precise dimensions, including the 45 degree angle. The jars have to fit snugly into their compartments. With the same panel plate, you can create a handlebar. M5 threads and bolts can be used to bolt the handle to the primary chassis in such a way that the handle is positioned just between the two blowholes.
The display and the circuit are the next important design element in the BFG. With accurate measurements, incorporate the LCD display into the primary chassis on the top-plate. Prior to that, you can cut out the BFG logo on your chassis. For your BFG circuit, you can dismantle your old shuttle (if it doesn’t make you too guilty). Put the circuit together and use a plate to fix the board to the bottomplate of the chassis.
The rear panel of the chassis is next in line. With the measurements you have, cut holes for the port points and the power supply. Incorporate a laser as well for the cutting-edge effect. Once this is done, you can focus on placing the styrofoam ball and mini stroboscope. The ball will offer you the UV powder glow.
The power board will comprise your power LED, HD-activity LED, power switch and reset switch. With a few cables, matte-paint and some touch-up, your BFG is ready to flatten the monsters. You can add a few warning signs to pep it up.
