A while ago I got the idea in my head to build a Needle Rifle prop. So far I've finished the handgrip portion of the stock. The entire project is going to be built from cardboard with my own templates drawn up from pictures from Bungie and Halopedia. Strategically placed blocks of wood will be added into the build to hold together certain pieces and to give it some weight. I also intend to resin the "cover" pieces (the purple parts) so that the metallic paint will stand out beautifully (or at least in theory). The only thing I still need to figure out is how to make the needles. I remember that someone here made a needler and used quartz crystal or something similar, and someone else used acrylic rods for theirs. I'd probably have to order those rods online since I can't seem to find a store around here that sells them...
Anyway, here are some pics :
The handgrip section of the stock, unpainted.
The handgrip/stock section fully painted, with silver decorative plating and screws for detail.
The build so far, before the stock was assembled and painted. The midsection is more detailed now then it is shown here. More to come.
