HEY All!
Well as my ODST build comes along and edges ever closer to completion I came to the realization that I need a soldiers best friend... a Rifle!
Since i found i didn't have the scratch to purchase a rifle, i decided to go with marshon's cardboard method.
Starting with Wizard of Flight's BR blueprints, I got a rough idea of how to layer the materials off the cardboard base as well as the getting a rough idea of the dimensions...
Then i mocked up a pattern on bristol board...
And after some fine tuning of the paper mock up i began the build...
As you can see the barrel is made of PVC and i braced it with foam brackets but the rest is carboard.
Well folks thats all for now. Tell me what you think!
Cheers!!
