Hey guys, n00b armorer here

[Dmitri Molotov]

Hello, I'm Dmitri Molotov, a young guy aspiring to be a production designer who happens to be a huge fan of Halo.
I started work yesterday on a UNSC marine costume, with the helmet. (I'd post a topic about it in the paper/cardboard armor section but for some reason I don't have permission to post a topic in that section).
I'm also planning on making an SRS-99D-S2AM Sniper rifle out of an airsoft G36, which should prove interesting.
Molotov out.

using an airsoft rifle for a sniper rifle can be easy, but the modifacations might take forever.
but if you can do it more power to ya.

one question, is the barrel on it 3 feet long?

 

[Dmitri Molotov]

I think so, but its behind a heat sheild. We might have to remove that.

Ive considered using an airsoft gun to try and form the basis of a Halo replica, but ended up giving up on the idea as I was too concerned that it would not be allowed in any local costume conventions due to the fact that it could launch projectiles. :/ Hopefully yours comes together nicely!
Airsofting in my armour is still the dream

Whoops, my bad. Still trying to figure the forums out, thanks for the heads up on that!
