Hey guys.

Well this is my second thread since i joined the 405th, in my last one I made the my Halo 3 battle rifle and at the end i was wondering what to make next. I did say I was going to start on my Mk VI suit, and i have almost finished all of the cardboard stages, But I thought wile I'm waiting to be able to afford all the stuff for the resin, I'd start on my second weapon.
I have all the stuff I need already downstairs, so I don't need to buy anything, which is good, and to make things even better I have recently been given a Dremel tool as a gift, so you can imagine how exited i was, it was kind of funny, the moment I opened the box, the first thing I thought of was, mmm what can I make on the 405th with this lol. So Im pleased to announce i will be starting on the HALO 3 Sniper Rifle, yay!!, so I will post some pictures as soon as I have em and maybe even a video or 2. c ya laters

Hey, its not much yet but its a start.

Heres basically what I'm using.

4 pieces of 20x90x1000.25mm Pine
1 piece of 2x100x1000 Balsa
and I used the lath to smooth out the basics for the first part of the barrel.
all this you should see here.

there will be extra materials, but these are the main ones

First off I glued and screwed 2 of the pine pieces together then I just marked up and cut out the 2 pieces that on this job, will make up the bulk of the gun.

I was gonna continue after this but ya know being that human thing and all, i had to eat, but i will have more for you tomorrow, it will look more like the rifle tomorrow lol

Right Oh, i was a little buzzy today so i didn't get much done.

I routed out and shaped the section for the magazine, started on the magazine clip and the first part of the barrel. I also cut out a small housing for the middle, then I glued and screw the 2 middle pieces together down through the routed bit, by doing this, I have hidden the screws from view and it makes the join just look allot neater, rather then having more screw holes on the outside. I then fabricated a few small details out of balsa and then placed all the stuff together just to show what it looks like so far, as i said before, it will start to sort of look like the rifle today. So this is it

Hey guys

Ok well I have the ammo clip finished, and i have made up a few more pieces for the rest of the gun, like the rear section and the little handle bit at the front. With the ammo clip I just used my dremal tool, a hole bit and drill to do the small detail.

Ok guys that's all for today. I will be away for work for the rest of the week and wont be able to make anymore progress on it until I get back, so just letting ya know. but ill still have access to the net, so if u have any questions on what i have so far, then please let me know. Thanks

c ya

That looks great so far, I'm looking forward to seeing it finished.

What are you going to use to smooth it?

Hey, only a small update, I got home late this afternoon so I didn't get much time to spend on it.

Basically all i did today was shaved of the edges of the rear piece, I have also attached it to its appropriate spot on the rear of the gun. and added some bog, will be sanding it tomorrow.

I was thinking that too, but its actually pretty good, in fact its probably just right. Its not hard wood remember, its only pine.

All righty then.

Today I started and completed the handle, the trigger and the trigger guard, Ive also added all the rear details in and gave it a quick undercoat at the back for later sanding purposes.

this is the handle, trigger and trigger guard before i attached it to the gun

And on the gun

Rear and side detail.

some of the details are still a little rough but i still have lots and lots of sanding to do so that should be no problem.

Bravo Zulu! I must say that you really know how to work in wood. It looks great. I agree about the weight, anything 20 pounds or lighter should be fine. Real-life anti-materiel rifles are heavy suckers. Heck, a SAW (light machine gun) weighs 20 pounds loaded.
