Props My Start On A Halo 3 Sniper Rifle.

[marioknight92]

Hey guys in inspiration of lee I've decided to start building a wooden sniper rifle from spartan II blue prints.


Here is some pics of what I've gotten done so far.

(Taken from my IPhone so the picture quality it not the best.)


The hole shebang

My tracing's so far.

My tools and the already cut pieces

Thats great and I really can't wait to see your progress!

Good luck

 

[SPARTAN II]

Kewl! It's nice to see others are putting my schematics to good use

Those are the pics he originally posted in the "Halo 3 Sniper Rifle Blueprints" thread, right? Looks like you managed to scale them to fit the pages pretty well, should be close to the size of Lee's

Just out of curiosity, what material(s) are you using for your build? Foam board, perhaps? Oh, and is your construction method going to result in it being hollow at all?

If so, you'll probably want to fabricate some sort of internal frame to support it

Like Lee said, I look forward to your progress on this, dude

[SPARTAN II]

LOL well yeah if you take advice from a elite you listen LOL.

I can't say as I blame you. I'd do the same thing, lol. Having taken some tips and tricks from our local "Master of the Wood" will definately help with the build heh

 

[marioknight92]

Quick update


Here is some more pictures

again taken from my iphone so not the greatst of pictures

The wood i got

Again the hole shebang

The smaller pieces

the dowel and the almost 8ft/ 1in think piece of wood for the body

This is why i will/ could not start it

As you can see This topic will be picture heavy

And a little not to spartan II: i was pm lee the other day with a little idea i had and i cam up with

The 1 in think piece of wood will be my base and the smaller pieces will be for the detail

Lol i just read my post and i though i sound a littel stuck up by say "no internal frame" so just wanted to correct my self


Edit: oh crap sorry for the double post

 

[spookyshadow]

Good luck man! Looks like you're all set, might want to clean up a little first tho. You know, for a little working room, lol.

Yeah but the prob is it was clean a week ago put my family just throws a lot of $#!T in there even though we got a storage unit (sorta like a little house) and a garden shack that we put all our lawn and gardening $#!T in, But every thing get piled up in the garage. so I'll get out there tomorrow and clean it up after i get my lawn mowed

No worries, dude. I didn't think that sounded stuck-up or anything, lol.

Thanks yeah i had some meny uses for it be for so i just went out and bought one i hope to run this thing dead

And side note on the drill press: it says recon so it's for halo 3... It has to be right?

 

[marioknight92]

Well today i finely got to cut the wood here a pic of whats been done so far

What I'm thinking about doing is cutting off each piece (barrel part, handle/trigger etc...etc...) working with it and them re-attaching them with little dowels.


But i just wanted to give you guys a quick update of it

 

[LeeKegan]

On the part you have of the barrel. You may want to cut that off and go with dowels that size. It is very hard to round square pieces.

Just a suggestion.

Yeah i was going to cut it off and use craving tools and a-lot of sand paper to get it down to the dowel size lol
