M7/ M7S Caseless Submachine Gun WIP by L05T V1K1N6

[L05T V1K1N6]

Hello again everyone. It's been a while.

I've been trying to decide on what my next 405th project would be for a good long while now, and I think I finally know. No, it's not the Reach shotgun like I've said in the past. In fact, it's not even the submachine gun. No, what I have in mind is far more ambitious than either.

But I'm not ready to reveal what it just yet. In the mean time, I've decided to start this WIP as a relatively small project to tide myself over until it's that time. It's a project I've wanted to do for a very long time, and I figured better late than never. But I could use some help. If anyone can provide me with accurate, to-scale schematics of the Halo 3/ ODST SMG for reference material I would be very greatful.

I'll be getting supplies tomorrow so I plan on getting started before the weekend, but I need to work out the scale first, so like I said, any help would be greatly apreciated. Thanks

Check out wizardofflight's weapon blueprint thread, it might be of help:

Thanks Matt. (and Wizard of course!) Those blueprints should be a good starting point. I'm also in need of dimensions, i.e. height, width, barrel diameter and so forth. Length isn't an issue as it's already listed in the Halo Encyclopedia, or as I like to call it, The Holy Bible XD.

Thanks guys.

I have one of Matsuo's SMG's that he made for the Operation Chastity fan film. It's accurately 1:1 scale. I can provide it as a reference for measurements if you need assistance

What is wrong with the ODST SMG in the Halo Pepakura All-in-One pack? It looks pretty good to me.

I'm afraid Pepakura is of no use to me as I specialize in wood working.

That would be quite helpful I already drew up a side profile, but I still need to know the width of the gun. Well, actually all the various widths would be great if thats not too much to ask for. Please and thank you!

Hi, If you look for Marshon's scratch weapon build tutorial http://www.405th.com/showthread.php/...pons-for-noobs, he has a cool way to work dimension sizes from a picture as long as you know one of the dimensions. Print out at full size then take your other measurements with a ruler.

It is a 3D solid, of course it is useful to you for wood working! Export the OBJ from Pepakura and measure parts in Google Sketchup or another 3D modeling software.

I think people forget that underneath all those sliced up polygons is an actual 3D model that can be made out of something other than paper.

Looking into getting some dimensions onto that blueprint for you.

Just an example of how you can do dimensions with Google Sketchup from a Pepakura file:
