Caitlyn's Rifle [Progress]

Description

This is not an in-depth tutorial, just progress shots and a brief description of what I did. Hopefully it is helpful to see the steps ^^ Trying to do this for most of my props now 

1. I cut the basic shape of the rifle twice out of wood. It basically split down the middle with a right and left side. 
2. Smoothed all the edges and decided where to put the barrels. 
3. Got the gun hollowed out so that the pipes/barrels would fit.
4. I added a sound system to the gun so I had to carve out a place for the batteries and speaker, and all the wires in between. YES, MY GUN DOES IN FACT TELL ME WONDERFUL CAITLYN QUOTES. :D 
5. Added a lot of the details with more wood and sintra. Wood glue and screws were used to attach everything 
6. I used filler to cover up anywhere it was damaged and to cover up where the screws are holding the rifle together
7. PAINTING! Enough said. 
8. Final product, got all the pieces together and magnifying glasses attached. I built it in a way that it can be taken apart again if I need to change the batteries in the speaker. 

:)

Looking back on this project I would have made the whole thing out of a different material. The wood is quite heavy and friends usually volunteers to carry the gun for me sometimes at cons. Maybe I just need to work out more though! x3
