Via /Film:

Known for their astounding SFX work on The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, King Kong, and most recently Avatar, most people are unaware of one of WETA Workshop’s interesting little side projects: replicas. Starting a few years back with statues and maquettes based on film properties, they’ve since progressed to steampunk rayguns, and most recently exact, replicas of the alien weapons used in District 9.

This gun comes battle worn, alien gunk oozing out of its couplings and all the scratches and markings you’d expect from tough action in District 9 and by handling by Nigerian gun runners. It’s made mainly from glass fibre, with some details made from other materials. They come with a wall mounting bracket for display.

The Arc Generator:

Dimensions: 15.7″ x 39.4″ x 3.9″ (H x W x D)
Weight: 10.8lbs

The Gas Projector:

Dimensions: 23.6″ x 39.4″ x 3.9″ (H x W x D)
Weight: 11.9lbs
