This blog is to document my journey to create a working (minus the shooting bullets part) shoulder mounted Gatling gun for a steam punk costume. I have given myself roughly one year to do this. It will involve me learning a plethora of new skills which consist of, but are not limited to the following...
- Electronics
- Programming
- Soldering
- Metal Working
- Leather Working
- Painting
- A WHOLE LOT MORE!
While I am aware I could make something is aesthetically decent with PVC, and have it sit there and just look nice, maybe spin the barrel.. I am an over achiever and will not settle for that. I will (as much as possible) be using metal, I am thinking copper for most of it. I will also be making it so that it moves left/right up/down, controlled either by some sort of joystick or if I can figure it out it will actually mimic the movements of my head (head movement is the goal, but am being realistic with my limited abilities.)
Before this project I have done a minuscule amount of programming and essentially none of the other items that I figure I will need for this project. This is definitely going to force me to learn a lot.. So... If you have any constructive criticism please do not hesitate to comment or email me to give me your feedback.
