Shadow Of Intent

It's been a while since I last posted on here, partly due to the long periods of downtime and issues with the image hosting sites, but since there's now a dedicated sub-forum for it I figured I'd share some of my non-Halo props (Most still fall within the genre of sci-fi video games).
This should be a fairly comprehensive list of WIP photos, but if not, I try to post everything on my Facebook page here: Calibre Designs
This was as much an attempt to restore a vintage tool to a usable state as it was an excuse to learn (Or at least try to) gasless MIG welding, hence some of the worst welding you'll have ever seen. Precision cutting using an angle grinder was probably the most difficult part, so now I've got my sights set on a plasma torch so I can attempt pepakura style metal props more easily.
I was hoping to illuminate the orange cannister on the back (Couldn't tell if it was luminous or just shiny copper from the reference images) but ultimately couldn't find a good compromise between light intensity and a compact power source. In any case it fulfills its purpose as a modernised 80mm spanner!
