Sorry guys, its been a while. But I have an excuse, I was busy what with my sister's wedding last weekend and all. Now I wasn't really able to get much done in that time, but I figured I'd show you, just to keep you posted.

And that's it! Enjoy.

And guys I think the going will be a bit slow now, because currently I'm going back and forth from working on the shotgun and my Reach ODST costume that I started recently. Both are suppose to be done in late may for a convention, so wish me luck!

Sorry man if youve said this already but whats the plan with the shotgun? While the pump work? Or is i all just a fixed prop?

The pump works, but there is no shell ejection mechanism.

 

[runcornstuntman]

Ve been trollin your thread so far. Very nice. If you do make an ejection port youll have to do up a bit of a tutorial on how to do it. Im keen on making up a few guns but outta aluminium. Be a challenge but worth

Update: 5/6/2012

FINALLY I have something to show. I've been focused on getting my costume done for a convention, so this project was on the back-burner. But now that I have finished the building phase of my costume, and have to wait to get paints, I decided to finish this bad boy.

As you will be able to see, it is not entirely finished, but I figured id show you how the pump looks now. I really like the look, and once I get the extra details on the grip and make the flashlight mount I think it will look epic.

Okay now here are the pics. Enjoy

Update; and. . . Finished!

Alright guys, I've been holding out on you on updates, but it was for good reason. Now feast your eyes on this!

Now the shotgun is not ENTIRELY finished, I still have a bit of weathering to do with a dusting of black, but the construction is done. I still plan to do a little hand painting for weathering, and then add three little red dots for the sights.

Also, the flashlight on the pump works

Well, tell me what you guys think. I will also be adding these pictures to the main post.

Enjoy!

The paint isnt done, I just have decided to take time off from my Halo projects. As for the blueprints, they're not mine, but Juliet76's who has them available for everyone to use, so go ahead.
