Thanks for all the compliments guys! Yes, the rifle was really completed in only 14 days of build time, averaging about 14 hours per day of work. Killer schedule, but I'm very happy with the results.
No, unfortunately. I offered, but they wanted a static piece to start out with. I'll be making my own soon (as well as a second one for another gaming event Bioware is attending in August) and both of those will have working illumination and mine will have a moving trigger.
Here's hoping! They already want another rifle, and there may be more weapons on the way... we'll see
Yep! That was it. It was awesome seeing it get as much screen time as it did.
I'll use this thread to update some more of the project as it continues. My own N7 rifle will be a tad different (read: painted red) so not exactly canon, but I've always loved the look of the red weapons from ME:1. Also, its my gun, so why not!

I have been checking out your site Volpin and your work is truely impressive, it makes the props put out by most Hollywood production companies look pale in comparison. I would advise whoever is going to make the Mass Effect Movie to hire you as a the head prop fabricator.

Full builds I can't offer, not without charging a ridiculous amount anyways!
Kits though, maybe. Only on a very limited run though. We'll see.
The references were provided by Bioware for the project. I have a roll-fed plotter I output my blueprints from.
Oh now you really suck! :lol
My aunt had a sign shop and they used a plotter to cut vinyl for signs. She said they were used for blueprints as well and I've been drooling over them since!

Great work Harrison, I always look over your blogs closely to learn from and appreciate the detailed write ups. I noticed a great idea you mentioned carving out a recessed area in the MDF and dropping in a piece of styrene sheet to save from sanding in a tight area. How did you get the styrene piece to fit so perfectly ? I look forward to your future builds and good luck with your business !
