Looking good man, but try not to highjack my thread. Thank you.
My BR is on hold until my father comes home from work, which is next week. I'll try to upload some progress pictures sometime next week or so.
But my BR is good, none the less.

Pepakura might be easier to build, and with alot more sharper details, but Wood doesn't require any support to keep it rigid. That's why I love wood!

I would go with wood over paper any day of the week. V1p3r is right, there is no need for support after making something like that. Not to mention after adding details with styrene sheets and painting it you cant tell what its made from. I find it easier to work with wood when making weapons. Last time I tried pep it drove me crazy, I had glue all over my hand. Keep up the good work.

I haven't built the pep BR or AR yet. I have built two of Garland's grenades and Rundown's Spnkr. Wood is easier to work with and build than the pep is. In the long run, both will cost you about the same - a little more for the wood once you add the styrene and details (probably).
Plus if you are like Smick6, and mold it, you don't have to worry about filling the piece to keep it from collapsing or deforming on you. Some things are better in pep, some in wood, some being scratch built.
Viper - You're doing a great job on this. Keep it up and updated.

I couldn't agree more! Wood has the same detailing capabilities as pepakura, but is heavier and more rigid. And weapons are supposed to have mass and weight to it.

You are dead on, Tlither. There is no such thing as one method for everything.
I will try and get some work done today. Hopefully...

Just got the other side of the BR spackled, and is now ready to have the latest detail added to the design. If you have any suggestions/Comments/Questions, please let me know!
And here is the new detail that I just got the cutting lines marked on. Any Questions?

T-T-T-T-T-TRIPLEPOST!
But wait! There are more progress pictures!
I just got some last minute work done before the day was over, and I must say... I got quite a lot of stuff done today. I'm not sure if I'll be able to do more work next week. But you never know, perhaps I might have heaps of stuff done by the end of next week.
And for the love of God, just post a damn post before this thread gets more updates than comments!
