This is still a work in progress, and I will update this as I go. If you would like to see my other non HALO related posts here is my tumblr: https://lasrig.tumblr.com/
Every gamer at one time or another has probably played HALO, and in my opinion the coolest weapon in the game has to be the gravity hammer. For this reason I decided to make a gravity hammer using the pepakura method.
Since the original pep file seemed a little small to me I decided to scale everything up 10%. This caused a lot of problems because now all of the parts are over as many as 8 pieces of paper. Meaning that in addition to cutting, folding, and gluing I have to glue pieces together. In total there are 48 separate pieces of paper that all have margins that need to be cut, as well as cutting out the pieces!
After about 8 hours of work I am only done cutting half, gluing 1/8 of the pieces together, and 4/6th of the way done cutting margins.
On a happier note I finished the bottom of the hammer!
Still working on cutting an gluing, I will post another update whenever I have something actually put together.
~~~ If anyone is interested in buying one of these tell me, because making molds would be a lot easier with a little bit of a head start.~~~
