Halo 4 Battle Rifle

I meant post this a long time ago, but I got a bit sidetracked and then forgot. I started out with a NERF RapidStrike and added onto it to make it look more like the Battle Rifle from Halo 4.

The first thing I did was add an extended barrel made from PVC pipe and a metal rod (I don't remember where rod came from). Then I added a NERF scope and used some foam to make an extended top rail. I used more foam to make the large blocky stock and to round out the base of the grip.

Next came a few layers of black plastidip to seal it up and give it a base color (I am sure that this did not look sketchy at all hanging in the middle of my garage with the doors open and facing the street...).

A few layers of silver Rub-N-Buff and it was pretty much complete.

I liked the look of it better without the magazine in place, but I felt like I needed to leave it since it was still capable of firing the NERF rounds.

Obviously it is still a far cry from the game model, but I figured it was passable for a Halloween costume. I still need ideas for next years costume, so please hit me up with suggestions in the comments.
