If I may ask, what materials did you build the DMR out of?

Thanks for the kind words everyone.
Update, here are some pics of the completed shotty:
Demoing that the elevator works with the pump action and bolt. You can clearly see the firing chamber, and the magazine tube with two 8 gauge shells sitting inside.
Looking down the iron sights
This model of the shotty has a cycling pump action with the bolt attached to the mechanism. The elevator moves downwards when the pump is pulled back all the way. When the pump is in battery, the elevator can still move in simulating loading shells in the shotgun. Unfortunately there is no room for the shells to go, the elevator is more of a cool factor than anything else.
From the last pic, this model has very few parts and is very easy to assemble.
Gonna start molding this beast next week. Standby...

Wow, nothing to say about a completed shotty? How about a freshly casted shotty?
If that's not good enough, how about this:
The Halo: Reach BR55 conceptualization. While I like the BR55 from Halo 2, I went with the Reach version because it was a BR55 style that no one has made replicas of yet, and two, I already had the DMR, so why not upgrade it to this:
I have the shotty in the classifieds if any of you guy's are interested in getting a hold of one. As for the Reach BR55, let me know what you guy's think of it.
Thanks for looking at my thread, and questions, comments or critiques are welcomed.

Thanks everyone.
Just dug this out of the storage room:
As soon as I'm current with all of my projects, I'm going to get started on the MA5 rifle. My MA5 will have a forward pump grenade launcher and the fire control on it as seen on the M319 grenade launcher. But if I really wanted to, the grenade launcher should be easy enough to convert into a flashlight.
My MA5 rifle will be designed so the cowling and the foregrip can be removed, revealing the integrated rail system. Also, this will be able to convert into the MA5K. So this will be a fun project, one I hope to start on in the next few weeks.

My styling on a M6C kit
Hello All,
Just thought I'd share some of the work I did on one of these wonderful pistol kits. The quality is absolutley amazing, and the fact that it has moving parts really makes the prop come alive. If another run of these becomes available, I HIGHLY suggest you take the opportunity to get one, if but to put on display on a shelf even.
For my version, I was more interested in going for the classic M6D look to compliment my MK V suit, so that made the paint scheme a little tough to make work since this is also the M6C soccom from ODST (which has more of a black/gun metal color). SO, I took some liberties with the coloring on the suppressor and LAM.
I first sanded all the imperfections down, then washed it in a mild soap and water. Once dry, I gave it a coat of silver metal (glitter?) spray paint and then when that was dry I hit it with some rub n buff wax. After buffing it to the shine I wanted, I let it sit for a week (the HARDEST PART, let me tell you) and then started to paint the details, and assemble the model.
Lots of pics below. Enjoy!!

Great work on these kits man, so glad I got one!
