It started with this.......

And ended with THIS......

The main body is pine with greeblies made out of posterboard with super glue soaked into it and pvc pipe.
The barrel of the "beast" is 2 sizes of pvc pipe, a plastic tumbler and 13mm neoprene rubber.

For the paint finish I uncoated the the timber on the body of the gun and then coated it with a enamel "hammer" spray paint, then weathered it with silver. The stock and hand grips were stained with a walnut stain and then given 2 coats of clear varnish. Scratches and dents were made with the edge of a metal ruler and then black acrylic paint rubbed into said scratches for a beaten up and used look.

The cooling fins were given a coat of gold spray paint and then weathered with black acrylic paint and silver paint.

Rear sight is movable.

Wow Crypto, you said only just the other day you were thinking about starting the bfg, and its finnished already. And it looks awesome. Looks like I need to spend another few days upgrading mine so it looks up to scratch. Can I get any hints on how you built the cooling fins, and the sights? Well done mate.
