This competition is in the [GJW XV Event Long] Multimedia Bin. Participating in a competition in this bin for the first time awards 5 points for your Clan. Cumulatively, the placements in this competition are worth 8.0% of placement points in this Phase. See the parent competition for detailed rules.

Whether you have been able to get your hand at a crystal-enhanced item through your Clan for research or by snooping one up that has been deployed by the Children of Mortis on the battlefield, now is the time to show what you got there.

Objective

Build a 3D object using real materials to represent an item based on one of the Crystal research fields. Submit a picture or video of the object created. Objects can be made, for example, out of cardboard, paper, LEGOs, wood, or any other material. Drawing and coloring on the object is permitted for details and enhancements, but any additional work beyond that is not permitted (for example: A hand drawn background or digital art enhancements added to the image beyond simple color/contrast correction of the photo).

Given the possibilities of this competition, the use of a 3D printer will be allowed.

Members are encouraged to submit a written explanation of the object to orient the graders as to what it is, but the written explanation is not part of the placement criteria other than to give context to the graders.

Grading

Grading: Submissions will be graded on originality, detail, and obvious effort expended.

Medium: Photo or Video of real object.

This blaster has been based loosely off the old blaster models used by the Rebel Alliance due to the ease of finding parts. Using a crystal-lined chamber and several small chunks of crystal on points of the weapon to enhance the effect, this weapon is able to deliver blaster bolts that can both harm organics *and* disable electronics to frightening effect.

The materials used were:
1 inch pvc,, 3/4 pvc, dowel rods, tape, aluminum tape, conduit clamps, copper fittings, scrap lumber, a furniture leg, a bit of sequin-looking things my wife has and some odds and ends from around the house. Paint was used to enhance the object so it looked less like a hodge-podge of bits and parts from the hardware store. I used the Rebel Blaster for the OG trilogy as a bit of inspiration and kind of just went from there.

The Weapons and Personal Armor research field is of course what this object descends from.

Crystal Infused Armor.jpeg
Textual submission

What you see here is an early prototype for crystal infused armor. The body is basically wrapped in what appears, to the untrained observer, to be tinfoil. The Crystal is then worn in an (not pictured) helmet which feeds off the wearer's neural energies to power the suit.

Again, only to the untrained observer does this look less than mighty.
