Here are some behind the scene pics of Model-maker David Tremont and painter Sourisak Chanpaseuth from Weta Workshop working on the District 9 Exosuit.

Kids love alien weapons!

They really do!

The Pomson 6000 has been described thus:

“Blasting out rapid-succession pulses of cross-spectrum electromagnetic radiation, the Pomson has been shown to dissolve an Egyptian pyramid in four archeologically educational weeks or one of the smaller, slightly crappier Mayan ones in just under a fortnight. Imagine what it could do to that big ugly Mars face! On a more practical level, however, the Pomson has proven to be a highly flexible yet powerful firearm and purchasers are sure to wake up each morning with morning wood at the mere thought of owning one. That could also be a tumorous growth caused by unshielded radiation, but you can’t sue us for that because it’s in the contract. Sod off.”

Among other uses, the Pomson 6000 is standard issue for Earth’s Elite Forces and other cutting edge units. Its compact measurements and 12 millisecond recharge cycle makes it a valued companion in close quarters. Like underground trains or Venusian cave systems.

Below is Greg Broadmore, creator of the Pomson 6000 Sub Atomic Wave Gun, dispersing of some pesky Venusian Cephalopods!

The first gun presented to Wikus van der Merwe (by the MNU scientists) at the underground shooting range at MNU headquarters, the Assault Rifle makes short work of the porcine cadaver strung up for target practice.

This is known about the science behind the Assault Rifle, according to
Designer Greg Broadmore:

“The tubes down the side each discharge an explosive burst of gas one after the other down the length of the barrel behind the projectile – a linear accelerator gun, like a rail gun but without the magnets. Of course it would fire these all rapidly to get a high rate of fire.”

PLEASE NOTE: Unless your genetic makeup is part prawn, you cannot power up or fire this gun.

The Team

We had an uninvited guest!

Here’s what it looked like before I painted it:

-

Commander-X got 2nd place. He got beat out by Mario. Hmmm, I think I’m missing something here!! I’ll let you decide for yourself but I don’t think Mario is in the same league as Commander-X.

There was also a cartoon and game character category which is where Mario should have been entered. Maybe his brother Luigi won that category!!

If you want a MOST ORIGINAL costume like the one Mario wore, you can buy it HERE!!
