Fallout 3: Gauss Rifle (WIP)

[Josh Jay]

The rail that supports all of the insulators is assembled and detailed.

I needed to add an area to the rear to serve as a strap hook.

 

[Mike J.]

This is epic!

 

[Sluis Van Shipyards]

That's pretty cool!

 

[Josh Jay]

The underside handle was refined with half-round rods.

There are two versions of barrel insulators; one with a short base and another with a long forked base. I made two part molds of each one and cast them in Smooth-Ons Featherlite resin to keep the weight down. I didn't make a jacket mold for the first mold and ended up with a leaky mold with a lot of flashing in the casting. I'm going to make a jacket mold for it whenever I get my work shop back.

Generator masters molded and cast from a one part mold.

Rifle Stock molds and casts...

[Pobbrett]

don't wish to sound like a know it all and the thing looks awesome but it looks like you need to mix your bondo more it should be consistent colour but if its just where you've mixed squadron along the way just ignore me i was just worried that after all this work you'd end soft spots, beautiful work though.
