I think it looks pretty cool, but I wouldn't say it's worth the time to add. If you don't mind I'd say go for it, but otherwise, I wouldn't say there's any reason to go out of your way to add it.

Would be a cool addition, wouldnt take to long to add... Your choice.

I'll leave that to the next one then. I'm not up for slicing up the finish on the foam. Better safe than sorry. Thanks guys!

Outstanding! The simple additions to the scope give a nice completion to the profile. And the rivet's and bolts give a superb realism.

Thank you!

I'll have a good quality picture up soon, guys! Just finished the ammo counter.

Edit: ..and barrel, and paint. lol

 

[SierraJeep]

Okay! Here's a little photo shoot for you guys. I apologize for the red reflection on the rifle in some pics. I'm wearing a bright red shirt and it shines off of the rifle's metallic paint! Haha

What's left:
-Charging handle
-light for ammo counter

Magazine is removable and safety is adjustable btw guys.

And my favorite shot:

Hope you guys like the outcome and my method of creating one of the most iconic Halo rifles! I'm very pleased. Too bad i have to sell it. lol.
Also, I will edit the original post to feature the completed rifle and bump the thread when i finish.

Oh also, i have yet to add 4 bolts that go on the foregrip. That is coming as well.

Edit: Love this pic too.

That looks really nice SierraJeep! I actually just finished a rather large non-halo project I was working on, so I think I'll be building my own soon!

Thanks! Sure is. Weighs around 2lbs! It still feels authentic holding it though so i decided not to throw in weights like i have in the past for other projects.

 

[SierraJeep]

Well she's done. Here you go, guys!

Thank you all for following along, it was super fun to tackle this project. I will be posting a thread in the Marketplace with information on price and a link to my Etsy shop where it can be purchased.

Edit: Jk i can't post in Marketplace. Here's the link to the listing:

Man that weapon is fantastic, the level of detail and effort here is phenomenal! It's too bad you're selling it! Do you think you'll make one for yourself at some point?

Thanks for kind words!

I might, seeing as i got a hang of the process and dont have to fool around with guess work the second time around. I keep templates with measurements of everything i build, so i will most definitely be revisiting the BR55 sometime in the future.

looks awesome did you put foam on the sides of the gun where the layers were visible? or did you have a different method? This inspired me to build my own using the same technique BTW
