so i got bored yesterday waiting for bondo and such to dry and i started on this. the "hood" for the laser dot (formerly the smart-link scope on the D variant) it too small to make from 5mm foamcore so im going to fabricate that later with bondo and sheet styrene or thin sign plastic after the main base of the gun is done. so technically its an M6C for now lol. my first thought after i resized and modded the blueprint file and printed it out was "OMG TOO BIG" but ive recently been using Forge and Theater in Halo 3 to compare weapon sizes with other weapons and when a character is holding them. the size seems to be dead on. Also im sure you noticed the barrel area is just flat foamcore. after the prop is initially resined etc im going to build the shape with a mix of styrene and glaze or rondo.
