Kinda strange to see the site looking so... green. >.>
Now that I've completed my armor and took a short break from costuming, I'm moving on to building weapons and props for my spartan. The start to this build is... small. I'm not even sure if this method will work out for me. I'm following DaFrontlineTrooper's magnum tutorial on youtube, which you can watch here:
DOW insulation styrofoam is really cheap. You can buy a huge hunk of 2x8 for around 10 bucks at Lowe's. I've worked with it before for art projects back in college, but never for my own personal projects. I think I'm off to a fairly good start though. Updates will continue all weekend.
NOTE: The magnum I'm building is just the trial run. What i really want to build is a shotgun or a DMR. Maybe both. I thought I would start small and easy just to get the hang of carving.
Picture time
Size to my hand:
