My First Assault Rifle Build

[drack]

I started posting a SCAR build on my MK VI suit thread but decided to start one of its own as I think that I will have lots of updates and will be very pic heavy due to the complexity of the build. I have never worked with wood before so playing it by ear. Here are the first pics of it so far for you. If any one has any advice then I would gladly hear it.

The SCAR's moving along nicely, Another build to add to the watch list.

Dude that is awesome. Got to watch this thread

If it comes out even remotely looking like the reference pic, this will be insane! That rifle is so bad looking. Nice work so far buddy.

Looking really good! Progressing quickly.
Subscribed!
Cheers.

Thank you guys.
Happy so far seeing as its my first try at wood work.


My rubber turned up today but the texture on it is so small that you need to get up real close to see it. Why are there no companies selling pyramid/diamond textured rubber matting. Before I quite on the idea I will see if there are any bicycle grips I can cut up and use or see how cheap it would be to cast my own.

Help with blueprint needed. Hey guys has anyone got blueprints or a link for the MA5 cause I cannot find any and the sticky for weapons blueprints is broken. I am sure I have seen them somewhere in the forum but forget where. Any help would be greatly appritiated.

is this what you are looking for? http://propaholics.wolfchasers.com/uploader/users/Wizardofflight/Assult Rifle.gif

 

[drack]

Yeah thank you so much dude. Helped a couple of people out there

 

[Kwameninja]

No problem man! Your SCAR looks great! Do you plan on working on the MA5 anytime soon?

 

[drack]

Will start it right after I finish the SCAR. This is more of a learning project so I am ready to do a good job of the MA5. Its a much more iconic rifle for the mastchief suit I think. I will not be using MDF though. It's a nice medium but I am starting to see the disadvantages of it now.

Well drack its looking great so far. can't wait to see more!

 

[drack]

Quick update.

Managed a bit of detailing and glued some of the components together and filled the gaps.

 

[CrazedOne1988]

I keep clicking here expecting a Halo assault rifle

Very beautiful work. Nicely done so far!

 

[drack]

Lol yeah I thought the title might lead people to believe that. There will however be an MA5 to follow this build

 

[drack]

Latest update.


Today I had a good amount of time in the work shop so managed to get all the dremeling done, gaps and mistakes puttied, hinge between the gun and stock made and all glued together.


Got some rubber cut for the grip and stock but needed to order some longer rubber to finish the recoil pad off properly.

Here it is together so far.

To show you the scale of it I am 6' 4"

 

[Mstruvmgc]

Scale looks really well done drack Im loving it

 

[thorn696]

Looking awesome

 

[vshore100]

Hey I'm 6'4" too! I have no where near the amount of hair you do though,lol. Your SCAR is looking amazing! Keep it up buddy.
