Props Birth of a RAIL GUN......

[drack]

I tip my hat to you sir! That is one beautifully well made gun. Hopefully when there are more references we will see a mark 2

OK, for the most part I'm finished. (Just some detail on the upper receiver portion needs finishing).
Let me back up just a bit. I started this about 2 1/2 weeks ago.
The tools used were: pen / pencil / paper / sand paper / ruler / jig saw / table saw / cordless drill / PVC / wood files / wood-2x4 /wood-1x12 / screws / glue / pray primer & paint. Nothing special, just the basics.

Well, here it is. This is my version of the new Rail Gun. Keep in mind at the time of this build the game is not out yet, and I only had 2 images to go by. I'm sure that when more images & the game are released I'll be wishing I had made some things different, but today I'm happy with what I've got.
Thanks for looking.
Jim

Wow!
That... It's so...
I don't think words can describe the awesomeness I'm looking at right now!
I have to say, with the little rescorce pics you have, the rail gun is simply amazing!
Congrats mate!

Although that one's not complete either.

The rail gun looks great, especially hanging on the wall. You've done an amazing job of it, let alone only using a handful of reference pics.

I think you need a sign over the couch that reads: "In case of emergency, grab hammer."


Oh, and freaking sweet job on the rail gun, too...

Shared!

Hey! Normally I would ask for permission before I share builds here out in the world but today on HBO (halo.bungie.org) they posted about a fan made light rifle and I had a moment of "Oh yeah? Check what this guy made" so I had to lol

Hope you don't mind, if it makes the front page it's Halo.bungie.org.

Great build man!

 

[IRONBLOODEDCROW]

Nice man looks awesome great work:cool

 

[DagothDraal]

Wow, that's truly a piece of work!

Moving this into Weapons and Props for now...
Will be moved again when I can get your status bumped up to Infantryman! ('New Members' can't post in threads in the Elite Forum)

It's a real work of art! And being able to create so quickly, and from so little reference material... Amazing!

 

[Revenant1988]

It is quite good indeed
