Also, I think this gun looks pretty funky from a head-on view.

The little emile is just chilling, like oooo there is a shotgun in your face, you dun pissed him off lol
Looked funny.
Anyways, the gun is looking fantastic man, gorgeous, keep it up :)
 
Amazing work man. This is simply a beautiful prop. I can't wait to see it all painted up. How much does the thing weigh right now?
 
Damn nice build and I think that observation about the Pillar of Autumn was spot on, I am positive Bungie used similar shapes and silhouettes for the UNSC aesthetic.

I made the torch on the lathe, but I think I might also want to incorporate a small rail on the pump for 1" scope ring and a real flashlight.

I ordered an uncut, undrilled metal rail online and it was the perfect length. I was even able to drill holes in exactly the right places as they are in the game. (I noticed that from the first bolt, there are exactly 7 notched between each bolt. I see what you did there, Bungie)

The sights on this thing were actually really fun (and quite easy despite being so intricate) to make.

The last detail I added was the diamond pattern on the pistol grip. I made it by cutting out the rubber mat from the center console of my Tahoe XD!

That's it for now. Have I mentioned unveiling the finished product is my second favorite post of every thread I make? It feels good to share :D
Anyway, I'll be spending the next few days doing touch up work and getting this sucker prepped for paint so I can put up my favorite post!

Take care, everyone. I'll see you in about a week.
 
Holy smokes! That thing looks sooooooooo much better than expected!! It's amazing! You have some absolutely mind blowing skills.
 
Even without the ejection port thingy it looks great.
(maybe it wasnt an ejection port, I dont even care anymore)
 
Truly a work of art my friend. Best looking shotty ive ever seen :D
Any plans on making a mold of that badboy? Cuz i would def be interested in one for my reach build when i get it up and going.
 
Ditto above. Try as I may, I'd never get that much detail in a prop weapon. @_@ It's frakking gorgeous.

There are indeed plans. I made this one for Brandon and he's going to mold it. Which is good for me 'cause I gotta have me one of these!

Thanks everyone! Here's a few shots of me posing with the shotty to tide you guys over until I paint it.
