How about front and rear-view?
Sure thing, don't have any shots of those views with paint on them, but I do have some progress shots

I'd love to see what you could do with a better build!
Me too! Maybe when I have some more free time.
Build progress that got me to the point above:
Started scribing some panel lines with my dremel tool:
Added countersunk screws around the gun, as well as some greeblies for reloading and ejecting the fusion cell:
Back section made with cut styrene sheet for details, beveled MDF for the general shape
Same for the front, more styrene
After some sanding and primer:
First basecoat of paint:
Glad you guys like it! I'll be happy to have it finished and out of my hair soon. Should be done with the MF cell today then I can wrap up the weathering and be done. Only bummer is that the water slide decals I made for the graphics on the sides of the gun don't show up well (yellow over dark green, I should have known) so I might have to do some creative masking work.
Edit:
are you going to mould this ?
Nah, its not that good of a build, honestly. The weathering helps it out a LOT, but I cut a lot of corners during the process (the little rounded bits over the grip and stock drive me bonkers. I hate the way they look!) There a bunch of details missing from it so I could make my deadline in time. If I make another one, I'll see about molding as a possibility.
