I don't really do costumes. I'm more into the props

Oh and.....

HAHA. Anyways, looks even more epic with the magazine... just don't go out in public and get stopped like Bungie did for carrying around their props.

Yeah... what's rediculous is the person who freaked out and called the cops thought the sniper rifle was an AK-47. FAIL."

Sorry, I remembered wrong* tthis was posted on you DMR thread on 6.22.2010* my mind was so blown I screwed up the post.

It's amazing to think that this thing once stood in the forest surrounded by some lame leafy leaves, and clueless critters. HAH

Nice, i notice you even put the sabot on the rounds. Since the shell is a larger caliber than the rounds.

L05T V1K1N6 · Apr 20, 2011

HAHAHA! That it once did.

(probably several forests)
But no longer; now it is a deadly accurate sniper rifle designed for blowing the heads off said clueless critter XD

Nah jk, DON'T KILL ANIMALS.

My god this is incredible. What did you use as a reference to make the sniper rifle, and are there any parts that are metal?

gingersnapples · Apr 29, 2011

i wonder what that gun would look like with battle damage...

Echo 199 · Apr 29, 2011

It's... It's... beautiful!

Seriously. That's an amazing level of detail, complimented by an even more amazing paint job! Is that just regular spray paint? :O

I had lots of help with the dimensions from Lee Kegan, and I used a sh*t-load of reference photos of the in-game model I took using theater mode.
(if you were to go to my Recent Screenshots page on B-net, there would be nothing but random pictures of the sniper rifle lol)

The only metal parts on the whole thing are the screws and the spring for the bolt.

No, I used extremely high quality model paint. It's a buffing metalizer that gives the surface an incredibly realistic metal look. It's pretty expensive, but I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants an very real metal-looking finish.
