L05T V1K1N6 Reach M45 Tactical Shotgun

Hey everyone! I'm back for another project and this time I'm finally going to make the Reach shotgun. Brandon McClain commissioned me to build this one for him and I intend to make him proud

I'll be using the blueprints provided by Juliet76 for this build. Thanks Mate!

Well, two days in and here's what I have so far.

I'm making the pump in slices because it's the most efficient way to facilitate mounting it to both the barrels and the body of the gun, as I can modify the inside shape while retaining the same outside shape. This method will also ensure the most accurate head-on profile.

More to come very soon. Let me know what you think!

I dont think lee has made a reach shotgun, He made a GOW shotgun though.

BUT yeah L05T V1K1N6 i remember seeing your DMR a while back and it inspired me to get back into prop making, Knowing you this prop will be pretty much perfect!

Here's an update on the grip section of the pump.

So that's the middle of the pump. Still have both ends to do yet, but the hard part is over. I think...
And don't worry about the inconsistencies, I'll clean everything up once the whole pump is done and you wont even be able to tell it's not one whole piece

Not at all, sharing is caring
(plus, as far as I know, it's the only logical way to do it anyway lol)

Just got one last night! And as you can tell, I'm putting it to good use.

Oh yeah, for everyone else, I forgot to mention my old bandsaw blade snapped on me so I was stalled for a day, but now I'm back in business.
