    Alix965's (neglected) M6g WIP*Pic heavy

    Hello all. I feel so left behind what with all the new style weapon props contained within these pages. But here I go.

    I started this personal project a while back just because I think the m6 series of sidearm has a very visceral look and feel to it and like all of the UNSC weaponry appears very feasible. Aside from the size of the thing I can easily see some armed force out there fielding the m6g into battle. I had progress going at a pretty good clip when I heard that Halo:REACH was in the works. I got a look at some of the gun goodness screen-caps from the game and fell into a depression, because I promised myself that this time I would not start second project until I was finished with the first. As a result The project got stalled shortly after I did the Hangul detail atop the slide.

    The other day I friend came over, saw it on my desk remarked about how good it looked and asked me when I was gonna finish the disowned project. I could think of no good reason to start back up and so here I am posting WIP pics.

    FYI The Project is: pink insulation foam sandwiched between foamcore with a thin coat of an acrylic gesso/white glue/baking powder 'putty' I mixed up then spackled on. With bits of styrene and ball bearings added. The only tools used were small rasps, sandpaper of various grit, exacto knife, and a jewelers file...(and my hands of course). Scale is based loosely,VERY LOOSLEY on Wizard of Flight excellent diagrams.

    Thank you ManxSpartan.
    Take heart my friend. With practice and patience you too will be able to create your own world out of scratch. I think the the key is to start small.. This is my first prop and the amout of trial and error I've experienced is ridiculous. I can only imagine what it would be like if I had started with a helmet or chest armour. SHEESH.

    Thanks for the compliment Sabre. I feel encouraged. I think the quote in your sig embodies the spirit of all the members on this forum. If the wise Sun-Tsu were alive today I'm sure he'd be spending all his time folding pep files and rondoing his Hayabusa into the wee hours of the morning....but then again, maybe not. :-)

    Wow... niiiiiice work. Little rough, but nothing some quality time and sand paper won't fix. Definitely on your way to fine M6 there. How'd you do the lettering in the first picture for Misriah Armory? It's a little hard to see, but looks nice and straight, and I know some people get thrown off trying to keep their lettering straight.
