Props LeeKegan Reach M6B

[MrOopsHeadshot]

Since you have a kit that can be the Halo 3 and Halo 3 ODST pistol, will this be added as a third one to the kit?

 

[Cirkob5477]

This is awesome. I bet that your next project will be as epic.
Oh and I want one. Badly.

New Updates on light assembly.

A rail? WIN! You sir are a sexy man!

Is that a genuine rail that you picked up singularly/in a pack, or off of a toy?

 

[Guard1an]

i think i just shat my pants.....

[LeeKegan]

Looks awesome!

How thick is the front of the gun? Just asking for comparison.

I believe it is 1 5/16"

Ps. I would invest in a macro lens, or backing up just a tad for your pictures. Hate to see such a beautiful gun be filtered by bad focus...

I know, sorry, it was real late and I was tired when I took the pics.

Since you have a kit that can be the Halo 3 and Halo 3 ODST pistol, will this be added as a third one to the kit?

No, because the design of the slide and other parts are different.

A rail? WIN! You sir are a sexy man!

Thanks Joe. It came off a cheap air soft gun I bought for the laser awhile ago and I used a rail off of it for this project.

Wow, Lee, your wood working skills amazes me! How long have you been building props?

 

[LeeKegan]

I have been making Halo props for about 9 years, but other things for 28 years.

 

[LeeKegan]

Updates.

Main build pretty much done.

I incorporated the switch into the housing.

 

[Cirkob5477]

Ouuhhh, shiny
When are you going to start mass producing these?

 

[Ronster]

Looks really great! Not perfectly accurate but awesome nonetheless.

 

[SchizophrenicMC]

Lee, I daresay your sexiest M6 ever. Great work, there.

 

[project phoenix]

why don't you paint your wooden replicas?

 

[LeeKegan]

why don't you paint your wooden replicas?

Normally I make the molds off of the wood versions and it is better without paint. I usually get a plastic version painted.

 

[sonic sod]

nice

i love your work lee cant wait to see it finished and painted

 

[Jico]

Awesome! Im so pumped to start a wooden prop on my own So ill ask you some quick questions

1. What are the best tools for a beginner to use?

2. What kind of wood do you use? It looks like on some pictures that some parts of the wood are glued. Are they glued to make a block you can carve out of, or are they pieces that have been carved and then glued?

3. Do you keep your pieces under presure when you glue them? The stuff I made at school got marks from that.

 

[Shadow1336]

Holy cow.
Its simply amazing, Lee. I've got a lot of work to do on mine.

 

[Shade88]

Lee FTW!!!

 

[penutbuttrbandt]

it almost seems as though each piece you do gets better and better...cant wait for this to be produced

 

[Anon ONI agent]

Face-meltingly awesome, as always.

Off topic side note- Remember the reach magnum is an M6G, one of two known variants of the M6G (the other variant is the M6G[C] from Halo: 3.) At the time of the Battle of Reach (mid 2552,) the M6B was long retired from the UNSC.
Also, though the MA37 says MA5C on its side, the MA5C was not yet in service during the Fall of Reach, as it entered service after the MJOLNIR Mk. VI.
Your work is still ridiculously freaking awesome, Lee.
