I made the riot gunbuddy at home!
It all started a couple of months ago when I found out about the riot gunbuddy. I though it looked sick on my protocol Sheriff, so I tried to get it.. Sadly though, after a really long time I haven't been able to obtain it. So I decided, you know what? Let's make it in real life! As a key chain!
I started working on it a couple of days ago, first of all I drew a sketch with the correct Dimension after analyzing the gun buddy in game and the 3d printed versions I found online
After that I got to work on cutting out the shape from cardboard. my goal was to make 3 hexagons, 2 of them are smaller than the big one (which will be colored red).
After I finished, I actually had to run down to the retail to grab a really small scissors to help me cut out the shape of the fist. It was really stressful but this was the closest I got. I also got the Valorant Logo behind it also (It was easier to make than the fist)
After that I grabbed my spray paint, head out outside and painted it, I then left it off to dry overnight. next morning I stuck it all together, I also worked on adding edges to the buddy to make it smoother (which by the way took me more than an hour to do). Finally I drilled a hole on top to attach it to my house key!
Yes, this isn't the most impressive thing you have seen all day. But to me, this is something I loved and enjoyed working on so much, the most important thing is no matter how good/bad it is, my own hands crafted this, and I'm more than proud, this was created with effort and love 💖
I have some extra screenshots of behind the scenes:
Any feedback is appreciated, thank you for checking out my work!

little diffrent from the schematic u drew

Yea it looked a bit too thick on the drawing, i thinned it out a bit, and also the actual buddy in game is a hexagon and didn't match the drawing outline.
im not even sure what is the name of the shape i drew in the schematic
Riot logo
Valorant logo

I mixed up the coin buddy with it that's why it's orange. But I fixed it up at the final product.
