Foam Foam Infinite Stanchy

[Negativecacti]

I've wanted to make a sniper or buy a printed sniper for awhile now and after making a foam ma40 I got the confidence to make it outta foam. Not only the S7 but the stanchion model from infinite. My goal is to have it done and painted for TORG in the beginning of Nov, like my ar thread i made I'll post updates in some detail but the with the paintjob it'll be a secret until TORG hopefully it'll be done by then. I got a month so wish me luck. So far I made a template at about 80% scale and got the main body cut out and glued with another ¾" wooden dowle for the barrel and to give it rigidity.

We will watch with great interest

The main body was 3x 10mm and added 10 on either side for the barrel and got some of the detail on it and the mid barrel and bipod area. I know how I want to do the bipolar but I don't know how to do it and the scope might give me some trouble but I'll cross that bridge when I get there

Awesome progress! I don't have a lot of foam experience myself, but looking forward to your progress!

Kind of a update, I've been slowly working on it over the past few days. Got the hand guard and bipod section done and rounded but yet to make the bipod and scope.

Upper receiver, magazine, side rails and ejection port were kind of a pain. To do in order to get everything lined up just right but it's foam so it won't be perfect. Tho I still need to add the detail on the rails but I need to figure out good spacing.

Stock and trigger area was the easiest thing to line up because it was super simple and got everything sanded down to feel nice in the hand. For the most part besides some minor detail the main body is finished, bipod and scope are what's left. It should be done next week and painting the following week everything is on track to be done for TORG and can't wait to reveal the paint job for it
