Hey guys! I've been looking into this as an idea of the next build. What I cam across however got me thinking. Apparently the Focus Rifle is '145.2 centimeters (57.2 inches) from end to end' - Waypoint site. Which seems somewhat excessive. But I'm not one to argue the point with alien weapons. Anyway. What do you guys think?
Also, I thought I might get this out there, given that I haven't seen anyone use this technique before. I was thinking about combining the use of clay and wood in weapon props, so I thought, why not just cut out a template of the gun, get the functional parts working how you want without the interruption of clay, set up some sort of skeleton system to save some money on the clay, and then go for it. On some sort of stand of course, preferably one that has an axis of rotation, in which you could sculpt the underside without assuming the 'awkward position'. The main reason for considering this is that the focus rifle (nor any of the covenant weapons) are industrial straight edge and angled guns, like much of the UNSC, but much more streamlined and 'flowy'. Anyway, just wanted everyone's thoughts on that as an idea.
Cheers, Dave.
