A small Rifle

[Chrome]

A quick check for you people before it goes to the guy who ordered it.
Does it look alright to you? Anything I should do differently?
Anyone who can guess what kind of rifle this is?

Oh that looks nice, great scale as well.

Is it a Russian PPSH?

Ha! first guess was right! XD Should\'ve known it wasnt going to be hard.

 

[cassar]

looks spot on, the only way to make it perfect would probably require a microscope

especially if you have played call of duty world at war lol

lol Which, I may add, I have not.

I\'ll add a hand and perhaps a grip after the drum for the models to hold it without the need for repositioning. Hopefully this will be fairly easy to duplicate

aye, a mad game and a good gun!

just make sure the gs is smooth

*edit - what technique did you use to make this? it looks like you have whittled it from a single piece of plasticard?

 

[KaaiZer]

I like it alot!

But it isn\'t to small for the Valhallan captain?

i realy like this, great little sculpt Chrome

Ever thought of doing a small range of guns for all the guard players out there?

Would be cool to have a wide variety of guns available

@Cleezy It would certainly be fun to do something like that. But without proper means of copying them the weapons themselves would be a tad bit expensive sadly.

Anyway, @KaaiZer: I think it\'s just about the size it needs to be but its your call in the end, here it is compared to the model:

looks good against the model

how did you sculpt it?

For the gun stock I glued two pieces of thick plasticard together forming a 3mm thick block, then I freehanded a rough shape of it onto the side of the block, carved away the extreme excess material with a sharp knife and then i started filing away until I found the shape being satisfactory.
To attach the barrel I Dremel\'d a \"hole\" in the forward part of the stock and then cut a satisfactory length of plastic pipe, filed it down so it fit the carved hole and glued it in place.

The trigger is a 0.6mm thick steel wire piece I filed down to make it \"flat\" and glued it into a drilled hole in the stock.
I made the guard from a cut length of thin brass from the \"sprue\" from the FW Imperial eagle set.

And the drum is as simple as this: I took an old sprue frame from GW and cut loose one of the large round \"buttons\" the have, filed a hole in it so it fit the pipe and filed a trace around the edge for looks.

After that it was just adding some brown stuff and the small detail.
The creases in the barrel were made with a engraving tool.
