New Hunter
I finally got this project off the ground. It took me forever to find stuff at the hardware stores that were proportioned correctly. The barrels and outer ring are slightly larger relative to the stock than the concept drawings suggest, but not by much. I had to find a happy medium on the over all size. However, ive stayed closely to what the drawings and sideshow have done. The outer barrels are 2.5" pvc. The inner barrels will be 1.75". This conviently is also the diameter of firework motar launching tubes. :)
The bottle in the last picture is for size reference. The side show replica weighs in at 42lbs. This one will round out about 15 lbs. It still has a ton of work to be done. I started to shape the stock out, but got sidetracked and put it together for giggles.

I got the back part of the barrel shaped out. I was going to make it out of wood, but I wanted to keep the weight down. I made this section out of cardboard, the green flower foam, and bondo. It still needs a lot of touch up and shaping, but its getting there.

I took a step backwards over the weekend and remade the cap piece. The first on was cardboard and green foam covered in bondo. AS you can see it breaks pretty easily. The gun is going to weigh about 15 lbs when its all said and done, and I can see this thing being dropped at least once. So I made a new one out of wood. I think all I have left at this point is to put on the finishing touches, bondo then paint.
