Making a District 9 Alien Assault Rifle Prop Replica
One of our favorite science fiction movies is District 9, which features beautiful props by Weta Workshop. Paying tribute to the film, we team up with prop maker Bill Doran and effects artist Frank Ippolito to replicate the movie’s Alien Assault Rifle and accompanying alien hand. We walk through the process of building each, with the final cosplay pieces coming together at Comic-Con! (Thanks to Smooth-On for providing materials for this build!)

So fun to see all these people whose work I’ve followed for years and years come together and make cool stuff, sharing their process with the world. Makes me all warm and fuzzy! 🙂
Great work, guys! (though I was hoping to hear Bill attempt a South African accent to complete the illusion)
*A HA! Not a chance. =)
That’s a great video and we want more of these. Great job guys! Keep up the good work! 🙂
I did not know that Frank is a Stonecutter.That was awesome. Now I can attempt to help my co worker make his Wikus hand for Halloween. 🙂
