What does it cost to cast things, ive never looked into it?
Well for one you need silicone for a mold ,and fiberglass to make a mold jacket. so both of those are expensive, especially for something as large as a rifle. Then, you need the plastic to cast them in. Which is more money :C
I can hear my brother saying ITS A SHOTGUN!!!
good job so far! looks awesome.
I meant rifle as a generalization of the size. Did you know that this is longer than the Designated Marksman RIFLE?

Ahhh well dang, Well this looks definitely cast worthy!
Thanks man, I wish I had the stuff to cast a few. The only issue with casting it would be the barrel box in the front.
Only by an inch or two

OKAY I'M SO EXCITED ILL JUST POST THE PICTURES FIRST, TALK LATER!
Alright, now that my slight affliction with caps lock is over, I can talk normally. The shotgun is finally ONE WHOLE PIECE! (sorry, caps lock relapse
) I used to keep it in halves, so I could work on it easier. But now that its mostly done ,and all that remains is the pump handle and injector port, I figured now was the time. Unfortunately in doing that, and adding the newest details (the pump rail detailing you can see in the lower pic) I have run out of hot glue. Do not fret people ,for I will journey to the dollar store in Saturday in search of the vital glue.
Also in the upper left you can see the start of my costume WIP, fixing up my old ODST helmet. That's right, I'm rejoining the ranks of the ODST as a Halo Reach ODST.
And even though it isn't complete, I just couldn't resist posing for pictures.
(I bet you guys totally love my visor, 100% NOT photoshoped *cough* that's a lie! *cough cough*)
Well, seems I might just get this bad boy done over spring break. Lets all hope I don't get lazy!
Also I just realized I read this post wrong:

Its actually just over THREE feet, not four, what I said earlier is false. Its 40 inches, about 3 and 1/3 foot.

Dude... this... is... AWESOME!!!
Do you plan on bondo'ing it then use it to make a mold then make tons of them? I'm sure a ton of people would want one of these babies! The detailing is extremely well done!
Cant wait to see the finished product!

I plan to take a spray bottle of two part resin and spray it to water proof it.
