Hey,

I had too much polystyrene laying in my workshop so I decided to have a go at carving some Halo guns.

Allow me to present to you, the Sangheili Plasma Rifle and the UNSC M6 Pistol:

For the Plasma Rifle I used schematics from Halopedia, and for the Pistol I used Blueprints I made myself using a Sketchup Model made by a guy whose name escapes me...

Due to the fragility of Polystyrene I am unable to make casts. Also the fact that the Pistol was broken accidentally by an ex-friend.
 
Paper mache most likely. And it just the plasma rifle now... Requiescant in Pace M6 Pistol...

Atm i working on a Plasma Repeater, but stuck on the detailing... Cant find any Blueprints- Can anyone help???
 
My friend had a similar approach with the Halo magnum pistol, he covered it with paper mache and he said he was not happy with it at all, would styrene take to bondo? if it is anything like what is the inside of laminated foam boards, those take bondo very nicely.
 
@Akademee- My pistol broke so I cant test any sort of coating on it. Bondo might prove too heavy, not to mention expensive. I work on a $0 budget lol.

@got armour- Not at present. I just had an idea to make a mould using plaster then cast using expanding foam. I can't sell them though since there might be some copyright infringement. Some guy just got 5 years in jail here for selling LOTR Props...


Thanks for the comments guys! Might post pics of my Plasma Repeater if i ever get time to finish it.
 
I was looking through my photo archive and I found my original pic of the pistol, complete with extended mag-

Also, as a little teaser as to my current project using polystyrene; I introduce to you, the first scratch built Plasma Repeater (correct me if I'm wrong)-

Forgive, my messy desk- been far too busy to bother tidying it.
At present I am experiencing some difficulty with the images I am using as templates, mainly concerning details, which limit the accuracy of my model...
