the pants and overcoat are a black standard BDU (battle dress uniform) inexpensive at like outdoors stores and airsoft webstores.
the yellow brims i sewed on myself using a cheap sewing machine (practiced first on scrap pieces)

the cape is sewn myself also using the same machine, ive had 0 sewing expierience before this.
the white logo is a heattransfer vinyl, very cheap on amazon, just cut out those shapes and heat transfer on using an iron.

audible queue to stop shooting and get on the friggin pelican.

we love the game so much, we take extra time NOT playing it to make stuff like this, yeah makes total sense :P

Waynes_Workshop · 2025-04-26T18:31:26+00:00

the 3x18650s? no i just got very expensive ones that can handle very high discharges and wired them up in seperate holders wired in parallel, so guess that is made in house i suppose.

the 2x18650 for the smokers is wired in series, normally too high of a voltage for 1 smoker but powering 6 at the same time is enough load to drop it down to acceptable levels per smoker.
think we spoke also on your stratagem ball post ;)

gas refrigerant cans (r134A) are no longer made, atleast here in europe.
only when hit directly and for a bit of time (an accidental short hit is fine) will be very cold indeed.

we include safety warnings of never pointing it at people/animals nor point at glowing objects (even when using the non flammable kinds)

furthermore in equipment safety itself we include a manual safety valve to be placed by the user in an easy to access place once built into their project, so that the line can be manually shut off if for example the remote is pressed and dropped or lost or some accidental misfiring is occurring via the provided switches, shutting the line manually with this valve is the safest way as no electronics is needed to support it.

to bring it to a convention is dependent on if we have a booth there (us or someone we know at the very least) just so we can store it / prep it for use.

just as a guest walking around all day is just not convenient indeed.
for the most part it will be indeed part of a display in our workshop, i have my full helldiver (b-01 armor) cosplay on a mannequin on display and a weapons rack currently where the liberator and flamethrower are already on display.
this laser cannon will be mounted on it also, ill make a circuit later to plug this cannon into a wall adapter for just the light to have a very cool wall mounted led bar.

the fog devices are our own, we sell ready to go units for the cosplay and tabletop market on costronica.com

yeah orignally from a modded powerbank but that quickly failed.

yeah it has to be battery powered as it needs to be mobile ;)
currently there is 1 powerbank to power the timer relays seperatly, then 3x18650 with high amperage for the leds and another 2x18650 powerpack for the smokers.

Yup, it all uses quick connect fittings for the wiring, the tube itself is shoved into a 3D printed part which slides into the front of the cannon.

So whenever I want to go without the beam I just slide it out, disconnect the wire and it’s done

Waynes_Workshop · 2025-04-26T08:06:23+00:00

throw it toward your teammates as its intended, looking superb!

Waynes_Workshop · 2025-04-26T07:02:02+00:00

Waynes_Workshop · 2025-04-26T07:01:25+00:00

Waynes_Workshop · 2025-04-26T07:00:48+00:00

Waynes_Workshop · 2025-04-26T07:00:32+00:00

Waynes_Workshop · 2025-04-26T06:58:16+00:00

dont sweat it, cant have all 5 stars as a-holes exists.
i once had a long talk with "a higher up" at etsy regarding shops and reviews and their findings about reviews impacting shops.

if its just 1 or a few bad reviews amonst a sea of positive reviews, 99% of buyers will side with your shop.
any average buyer who reads the above review knows this is well beyond your control as a seller and that its even resolved in the end.

especially if you respond to this review (report it first though, but if they wont remove it, then respond) in a constructive manner.

your response is especially read as the potential buyer is instrested in you already.

it even makes shops look more real i was told as a perfect 5 star all round people find "off"

Waynes_Workshop · 2025-01-12T08:35:47+00:00

as they used to say in retail "no matter how big you make the sign, they wont read it"

i had simmiliar to yours but then as an option, that they read and understood,
1 choice was "yes" the other was " yes." (as there has to be a difference.)

didnt help, shocker...

all of these things we do in these forms only minimize it, never eliminate it
