Once again I've been side tracked from my Halo 4 Master Chief build. A.D.D. is kicking in again I guess.

At the start, I had these 2 images to go by, yesterday I found the xbox game magizine pic in a hi res image so I going to have to re-work some areas now that I have a better ref. pic. to go by.
Start pics:

Pencil, paper, ruler, and a 1X10x8

Table saw time:

More on the way.
Thanks for looking
Jim

It's getting there. I'm hoping to put a lot of time into it this weekend.
I won't be the best H4 Rail Gun, but I may have the 1st
Thanks
Jim

It's all wood.
I use utility knife to etch it out & then go back over it with a dremel & a steady hand.

This thing's getting BIG & HEAVY. So much for building something small & easy to carry around.

I had a few spare hours to work on this today. Here's couple of up-dated photo's.
Not everything is glued down, some things are just setting in place in order to get a better feel for the finished piece.
Thanks for looking.
