I've been aboard halo infinite's hype train since day one, oddly enough, still haven't built anything, it's about time to change that!
I've decided to build the battle rifle, based on the 2 images that have been revealed so far:
Now, first things first, was making some templates, I and a friend of mine (LD industries on Facebook) collaborated on making the templates, which are free to download, you can get them On this link
After that, I edited the templates on Inkscape for laser cutting on foam of 3, 6, and 9mm thickness
I'll upload them once I cut them, to make sure the foam layers and thicknesses are correct
I still need to send everything to the laser cutter, in the meantime, I started to think about how I would so some of the other details, like the scope and barrel
I could build them on PVC and foam, but, I decided to try my hand at 3d modeling on fusion 360 (time to remember the incomplete lessons I got at university!)
I based the models on the templates and the one screenshot of infinite's BR
took me a couple of hours to figure out the software completely, and get a result I was happy with (plus, watching a BUNCH of tutorials on youtube)
Now... this is probably (definitely) not accurate, by any extent, but, it works for me as my first 3d modeled pieces
I made the barrel and scope with using a 1/2 inch (i think, I'll need to check the size when I'm back home) CPVC pipe for the rest of the barrel, and to connect the pieces of the scope
I divided the scope into 4 pieces, for ease of printing (hopefully)
3 pieces for the scope, and one for the base
and a barrel tip
and while I was at it, I remembered there was an ammo counter as well I still had not thought about how I was gonna make it
I decided to 3d model it as well (turns out, 3d modeling is kinda fun)
and since this was a couple of millimeters thick, I thought it would be best to print it, instead of layering plastic or acrylic
I drew some templates on Inkscape and 3D modeled this:
also, for here's the basic template I used for the ammo counter
I scaled it more or less to what I think the foam rifle's thickness is gonna end up being
and that's all for now, I'll try to post as many updates as possible, and try to remember to actually document the process
