Halo 4 Battle Rifle Build From Scratch

[TheReconSpartan]

Hey everyone,
I kinda took a little time off of my Reach build I plan on wearing to the Halo 4 release at midnight (CAN'T WAIT FOR IT ). So I decided to make a Halo 4 battle rifle to show off at the release, and maybe plan on selling it there (MAYBE). But I don't know what I am going to do yet. As you may now, I make all of my weapons out of foam, like many people. I'm debating if I should paint it in its regular colors, or paint it in the camo skin you receive if you pre-order the game. The only problems I have are 2 things: 1.The design on the end of the gun. 2. How much I should sell the gun if I do sell it at the release. Any suggestions on a price???

Thanks, I'm still deciding if I will. But if it turns out better than I thought, I won't sell it.

Well if it does turn out better then preferred keep it, just make sure you take your time everyone is anxious to see your progress so far.

It's hard to explain, look at my tutorial on foam building. That should maybe answer your question dude

So how's the progress going and will you be doing the default skin or the winter camo?

It's going good, I painted one side of the gun with a base paint primer, I'm probably going to do the other side today maybe. And I came to a conclusion that I'll be doing the default skin. I like the camo skin, but that'll just hold me back further in time.

 

[TheReconSpartan]

Hey everyone,
Today i planned on finishing the base paint job on the gun on both sides today, but i got caught up in things. I may do it tomorrow, if i hqve time. I'm going bowling tomorrow with a few friends before the school year starts But i did complete the first side, I'll do the hqndle last because its a good grappling position when i need to paint a specific side or area.
