[DOWNLOAD] Photographs of the DOOM toy/weapon collection

[Jasper Carmack]

Hello all,

Back when I went under the moniker "Blackmantis" here, I took some (rookie) photographs of the original toys / models used for DOOMs weapons and they've ended up in the odd thread here and there. Since then, a few people have suggested I upload them, so here's all the photos I've taken. I do apologise in advance for the quality as they're not brilliant and were mostly just quick photos to show people how they appeared.

 

If there is any DOOM enthusiasts in the Brisbane area who are also photographers and would be interested in doing a proper shoot of these with coloured backdrops and good lighting, please get in touch with me as I'd love to help get these captured in high quality so they can be used for sprites!

 

I put a few preview shots in the attachments for this thread.

The collection consists of:

Chainsaw (A McCulloch Eager Beaver 2.0 chainsaw)

Shotgun (a Tootsietoy Dakota cap gun)

Chaingun (A Tootsietoy Ol' Painless gatling gun)

Plasma Rifle (The end of a 1980s RAMBO M-60 toy dart gun)

BFG 9000 which is a "Roargun" made by Creatoy.

Oh wow, these are so funny to see! I really like the idea of making sprites from this. Will be following this to see what happens next.

It's a bit of an ancient post now, but send me a DM and I'll see if I can get a copy to you.

 

I've been meaning for a -very- long time to re-photograph these with a decent DSLR, but I lack the photographic setup required to do so.
