Classic Harley Quinn Pop Gun by Geek House Creations

Harley's packing some serious heat!

Harley Quinn is enjoying alot of popularity these days and you can't go to a Con or browse cosplay pics without running into a least half a dozen Harleys. She's always been popular but the Suicide Squid movie has put her over the top. As you might expect from the success of the Suicide Squad movie, "Suicide" Harley Quinn with her fishnets, high heels, and "Good Night" bat make up the vast majority of current Harley cosplay. But I've always had a soft spot for classic Harley Quinn with her simple black and red jumpsuit and jester hat. A few Harley Cosplayers are breaking away from the crowd and revisiting Classic Harley Quinn with some pretty spectacular results. 

Because I wanted to do something to show my appreciation for those cosplayers still representing old school Harley Quinn, I decided to work on a Classic Harley Quinn Pop-Gun. 

A quick Google search gave me a pretty good view of what was out there and while alot of it was good, alot of it was improvised out of foam board and tubing. Great for the personal use maybe, but not something I'd want to offer in my shop since quality and consistency would be hard to maintain. Given that I have a few 3D Printers, I thought, "Easy! I'll find me a good blue print and presto!" Not so fast. Thingiverse and Myminifactory revealed some pretty scant choices. Had no one thought of doing a good Harley pop gun? Well, turns out there's two good options for us pop gun enthusiast. There's the "Haley Quinn Cork Gun by Souleatergaming on Thingiverse and the simpler but still pretty good Harley Pop Gun by Tastyrice.

Souleatergaming's Pop Gun

Being a bit ambitious, I went for the most complicated piece by Souleatergaming and after some slicing and and dicing on Meshmixer to get the parts the way I like them, off to the printer. 

Souleatergaming 's blueprints for the Harley Gun actually very good, but my one big gripe with the design is that it simply doesn't have a barrel. I know it's supposed to look like that, but it looks like some thing's missing. I thought about designing a barre to mix into the blueprint,  but decided to go manual and just took a 2" PVC pipe and glued it to the front of the gun,  a 2" cork from Amazon and some twine, and the result is...a pretty cool looking Classic Harley Quinn Pop Gun. I primed it and painted simple black with some red highlights on the diamonds and hearts and my Harley Quinn Pop Gun was done!
I was so tempted to add some gold to compliment the red and black but decided to stick to the classic look of black and red. 

Now I have a bit more time, I may actually design a 3D Printed barrel for this piece instead of having to run out to Home Depot to get PVC pipe each time I want to make one.  

If anyone is interested in purchasing one of these, you can find them through my shop at Geek House Creations.com or if more convenient, my Etsy shop listing for Harley Quinn Pop Gun.

Cheers!

Deadshot's Wrist guns from Suicide Squad, new 3D Printed prop from Geek House Creations

Here's a first view of Geek House Creations Deadshot Wrist guns from the Suicide Squad movie coming out in August.Top half of the pic is a close up of Deadshot's wrist guns from the most prominent promo picture and the lower half are my own 3D Printed version.

Deadshot Wrist guns.

There's not alot of source material for his wrist guns yet, except a few movie stills and some detailed pictures of the merchandise resin statue coming out with the movie. From what I can gather, looks like the guns are based off pistol receivers with short ventilated barrels. The wrist housings feature the inscription, "I AM THE LIGHT, THE WAY". Kinda Christian-y if you ask me. (What's up with that?)

I'll be posting a few other pics of the wrist guns with their straps to show what they'd look like "in action" when I get a chance. I'll probably follow up with some progress pics as well. 

If anyone is interested in purchasing a set, you can check out my shop listing for Deadshot's Wrist Guns at Geek House Creations.

So anyone up for a little Deadshot Cosplay?

Rey's Staff from Star Wars The Force Awakens

Canvas strips for texture

Here Rey's staff from Star Wars The Force Awakens. This movie accurate prop stands a full 6' 5" long and has some very nice features. The staff's most recognizable parts are all 3D Printed in solid ABS plastic. The 3D Parts are solid ABS plastic. ABS is preferable to cheaper PLA plastic as it doesn't melt or deform in heat. I cringe every time I hear about a prop made in PLA plastic. Leaving a PLA prop in your car in the parking lot on a hot summer day could ruin your day. Not so with ABS. As I said in an earlier post, the parts can be found on www.thingivers.com, though I made some minor modifications to my parts. I used canvas strips, leatherette, and real suede leather for the textured grip. I added a rubber stopper at the bottom for better grip when leaning and so as to be a bit gentler on floors.

Finally the staff has detachable adjustable military canvas straps.  And the best part of all, the staff easily splits into two parts for easy travel to conventions. This is no small feature when you consider that, at over 6 feet, the staff would be almost impossible to travel with in trains and most cars. 

The entire staff is based on a lightweight but sturdy aluminium conduit tube.

The entire staff was primed, painted black, and finally painted in Rustoleum Hammered Metal. Finally the staff was weathered in pastels and oils. Some areas got a treatment of Rub n' Buff for special highlights.

This prototype is off to Denmark and another order is soon going to Ireland so that split option into halves is a life saver when it comes to mailing. Apparently the US Postal Service doesn't mail seven foot poles! Imagine that!

So there it is, the latest addition to the Geek House Creations Star Wars Collection and a great match for our Rey NN-14 blaster, otherwise known as "Han's lender to Rey".

Both these props are available through directly through www.geekhousecreations.com as part of the Star Wars Collection or through my Etsy shop "Geek House Creations". Order through my Geek House Creations webpage and save $5 on the staff. 

Quick Progress pics of my Rey Staff from The Force Awakens

Mock up of 3D Printed Parts

This is a quick progress pic of my new Rey staff from The Force Awakens. Most of the staff's parts are 3D Printed from the excellent files on thingiverse.com by JediTrooper. I had to do some scaling up and might alter some of the files to more to my liking. Specifically the mace-like flange part looks a bit short to me, but I'd have to cross reference it against movie stills and prop photos I have. For the most part though, JediTroopers files are an excellent jumping off point for anyone building this staff.

This particular staff is already commissioned and going all the way to Denmark as the perfect compliment for someone who already purchased my Rey blaster from The Force Awakens.

If anyone is interested, Rey's blasters are already up  and I'll soon have staffs available at www.geekhousecreations.com and my Etsy store. 

Deadpool Gun and Grenades for Cosplay

So I've been amazingly busy and have neglected this blog bit. But! I will be coming back in the few two weeks with several posts on upcoming items and some 3D Printing tips that are just too good not to share. For now, I'm posting a few pics of a new Deadpool gun for cosplay. This is a commission piece for a wonderful cosplayer named Emmapool.

Emma has promised us to send us some pics of herself with our gun and grenades and we can't wait to see them! Meanwhile we'll post this pic of Emmapool to wet your appetite. Like me, I'm sure you want to see more of her here. If you're interested in getting one of your very own Deadpool guns, check out the link for the Geek House Creations store item page HERE.

They are....

Top gun is Mal's gun from Firefly Serenity and the one below is our brand new item, Rey's Blaster from Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

And why would you want Rey's blaster? Because if you're cosplaying Rey this year, everyone's going to have a bo staff, but how many people are going to have the blaster handed to her by non other than Han Solo? 

Denix German MP-40 machine pistol replica available at Geek House Creations

Denix MP-40 with folding stock

This is the Denix German MP-40 reproduction available now at Geek House Creations. It's an amazing Denix replica consisting of mostly stamped metal construction like the original with a hard plastic resin handle and carriage. Comes with functioning folding stock and bolt with safety latch. Denix really did a nice job with this one as it feels absolutely fantastic with great weight and balance. The magazine comes slides in and out very easily. The folding stock is solid when extended and makes the gun much easier to aim. It's no wonder most WWII photos show German soldiers carrying the MP40 with the stock extended.

Two beautiful Denix Reproductions

It's a surprising big weapon for a sub-machine gun and makes a nice compliment to the Denix PPSH-41 as they weapons were rivals in real life. The Denix PPSH-41 is also available at our site and features a beautiful wood stock.

Folding Stock

The German MP-40 is the most recognizable weapon of WWII. This weapon was used by all branches of German service but most well known as a favorite of the Waffen SS.This weapon was in many ways, the first modern machinegun with all metal stamped construction. Captured MP-40's was a favorite souvenir of American GIs and secondary weapon of Russian forces on the Eastern Front.


CJ Campbell has created a great video review here:

Please pass this on to anyone that's interested. 

A Denix MAC-10 about to be packed off to be shipped

Too tired to post more tonight but this is what a typical packing day looks like here at Geek House Creations. I set everything on the table to start packing turned around and went...wait, this is a hell of a picture. I'm probably on like 40 watchlist right now, but hey. The MAC10 is going on sale tomorrow through my site and I'll follow up if anyone is interested. And...I'm excited that I'll be modding it to make the version from Escape From New York.

Denix British Sten MKII submachinegun video review and pictures.

Finally got some good shots of the Denix replica of the British Sten MK II submachinegun.

Available at my shop as part of my Dieselpunk collection:

http://www.geekhousecreations.com/products/british-sten-submachine-gun-9mm-wwii-weapon

This is one of the most recognizable machineguns of WWII with it's size loaded magazine and welded construction. This is a great looking all metal replica that feels great and even has a few parts that come off and a fully functional bolt.

This gun would be perfect for anyone interested in WWII weaponry or Dieselpunk since it's not only chronologically correct but just looks the part of something you'd see in that setting.

Please share if you know somewhat might be interested and don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. Thanks for looking!

A set back and a new beginning for Geek House Creations

This past week was a bit of a rollercoaster for Geek House Creations. It began with a setback when I found that my Etsy store had been suspended for violating Etsy's rules on posting prop guns. In all the time, it took me to read a tersely worded email, my shop was history and I had to plead with the forces that be for them to reinstate my shop. Without going into too many details, suffice it to say that Etsy's infamous Integrity Team took exception to a few of my listings and suspended the whole shop. I finally got them to unsuspend my shop, but not before deciding that regardless of Etsy's ease of use and built in customer base, I didn't want to spend the next year or two building a shop that I ultimately didn't own and being at the mercy of some faceless Integrity Team. So the big news is that I'm moving to a new stand alone Shop site at www.geekhousecreations.com

This site will allow me to sell a wider and more diverse set of products, including the entire Denix line like this amazing "Mare's Leg" Repeater, without having to worry whether I'm complying with anyone else's rules. I'll soon be offering discounts, special offers, and perhaps even a contest or two. It's a bit daunting to start a whole new site with no built in audience and trying to convince my old customers to feel safe in the new site, but in the long run it will prove worthwhile for both my customers and myself.

HALO M6 Machine Pistol

Seems like this is my first post in ages, yet it's only been a week. Just seems my life has been weighted down with the minutiae of my "real job". To be honest, I've also been battling a Psychojet addiction (some of you will know what I mean). But, here's something I'm pretty happy about and coming soon to Geek House Creations: the HALO M6 Machine pistol! I've been tinkering with this thing for the past three weeks and finally decided to get it done. Don't mind the funky colors they will all be painted in grays and metals. And the thing I'm most proud of--- a functional slide and detachable magazine. Next up, some possibility of a working laser. That's right....a LAZER.

Stay tuned at www.geekhousecreations.com
