Mass Effect 2 M-29 Incisor Rifle Part II. Finished!

AAh. Finally. Sorry for the wait everyone, I just moved to a new location which took a month, and I wasn't able to work for a month because the garage was full. Things have cleared up enough for me to work, and I am currently lined up with a TF2 prop, a small anime pistol, another bryar pistol or two, and potentially a sword and gundam helmet.

In other words, I've been pretty busy and havent had time to photograph.

here's the rest of the WIP and final pictures.

Sand Sand Sand!

Here I'm using styrene to hide rough edges of MDF parts and mate seams without bondo.

First coat of oxford blue and flat black. It looks so new! a few flights down the stairs should fix that.

Yes, I have feet. See below. 

Masking off the orange in front. After the orange and some minor detailing, it was time to ship to the client. However, he let me know that the costume this was intended for was not ready, and thus extended the deadline so I could beat up the gun.......errr...detail it.

*Drull Roll*

stay tuned!

Mass Effect 2 M-29 Incisor Rifle Part I

I have been commissioned by NinthWave over at cosplay.com to make the m-29 Incisor from mass effect 2. This project came to me because a previous contract with another prop maker fell through. I love making guns, so I will get quite a kick out of making this one!

Here is the reference I will be using as a base.

This is what I managed to get done yesterday. It seemed the most tedious and time consuming so I wanted to get it out of the way.

First I did the lower gas tube.

the grip section was sandwiched together in 3 parts, so that the center section could contain a built in trigger guard.

I carved a slot out of the center part, and angled slots out of the outer parts to hold the pvc barrel.

Grip at that point. I'm rather proud of how well this section turned out.

The stock can be quickly installed or removed, via a small notch I built into the lower receiver before I put it all together. 

Building up detail on the stock:

Test fitting the outer barrel, with the receiver and completed stock:

Progress on the receiver

Hndguard test fit+ outer barrel adjusted to lock into the forward receiver. 

Beautiful, 'aint she? I definitely under-billed my client for this one.
