DOOM - Life-size BFG recreated with 3D Printing!
Ever wondered what a real life BFG gun from DOOM would like like? Well thanks to the wonder that is 3D printing we now have a fully life-sized version of the gun complete with every mini detail featured from the game. Bethesda ran a competition for fans to create an iconic paint job with the winner receiving the 3D printed gun as a prize.
BFG in Real Life!
The gun was created by MyMiniFactory who received in-game files from Bethesda to create it in as much detail as possible, it took lead designer Kirby Downey 35 hours to design each piece of the weapon, 70 in total, and then it took 1,000 hours to actually 3D print it all. The final B.F.G. is three feet long, 18 inches tall, 18 inches wide, and weighs 36 pounds.
That's one impressive replica.
