I had my Reach Armour completed about 4 months ago. It was bugging me about how I don't have a weapon. After many decisions, trying to choose between the Magnum, DMR or AR, I chose the AR

Anyways! I started yesterday.
I used cardboard, cardboard, more cardboard, craft foam. For dem sticketies(Glue), I used UHU glue and hot glue.
Here be some pikshurs:
Brother told me his printer was out of ink so I had to hand-draw templates.

Segmented:

Baked potatoes:

Comparing me hand size:

Details:

Since everyone is so fond of removable magazines, REMOVABLE MAGAZINE YO!

More will be posted as I progress :3

Do you plan on having a working ammo counter on it? Because it would add to the already incredible detail on the MA37.

Thanks :3 I've spent about RM80($25). I'm pretty sure it'll add up to like RM120($40)

I planned to add a lit static counter but if I could do a functional counter, definitely will

Some more progress.

I've gotten to the point of almost giving up. I'm not gonna bother with the details. I will still be finishing this though, it will be my primary weapon for my Spartan. This was done over the course of 3 days. I do hope that for my future projects, I'll be more patient and be able to actually build it properly. Do note that this was a scratchbuild, templates used were made by myself. Anyways, enough talk, pictures!

Rockin' them Roman Numerals:

Completion of Phase 1:

Phase 2 will be adding of the barrels and such. Would love some constructive criticism.

This is looking fantastic man, and it's nice to see someone else building with a similar technique to the one I used! I've been making a Halo 4 AR to go with my suit, though I always really liked the skeletal look of the MA37. Anyway you're doing great so far, keep it up!
