Hello there!
After spending some time looking at all of the AMAZING things that people get up to here on The RPF, I really wanted to get involved and share with you guys the first replica that I built when I first got into model making - the iconic laser rifle from Fallout 3!
I've tinkered with a few things in the past and have built some smaller items, however this is the first slightly bigger model that I have made from start to finish.
The plans were created by Harrison Krix, which I bought from the shop over at Volpin Props (I wasn't sure how to create plans at this stage, and wanted to make sure I was building from some good material!)
Whilst some of the details have been modified ever so slightly, the majority of the sizes and dimensions are based from the plans. I also used quite a lot of in-game stills to figure out how some of the parts fitted and worked together - I'll take any excuse to play Fallout again!
Here are some hero shots of the final product, along with a fun pic of my mate trying to look like a Raider!
I tried my best to keep a detailed build log of the process as I went along, however often I got carried away in the moment and missed a few steps! I've also got more pictures which highlight some of the details and features on the rifle more clearly, along with some logs of my other projects. These can be found on my Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/WMProps - of course a like would be most appreciated!
I can imagine there have been a few laser rifle posts, so I'm sorry for adding to the pile! Any feedback would be most appreciated, and thanks ever so much for taking the time to check it out!
Cheers,
Mark
