Adding screws and hanger tape, and finished front and rear sights. Also added the handle (hose sprayer) in the back. Also made a loading top knob out of foam and a dowel rod.

Thanks, yeah I can\'t believe I made it and it was my first try. Now I got to see if I cam make another one lol. Definitely very time consuming but it feels and look like a real gun now alredy and I am not even done!
Got the front sights done, and firing mechanism, and added the flat coat of black on the body. Now getting ready to paint the body to match the texted grayish black barrel. Will get outdoor pics soon.

Wow thats coming along nice
Terminator 2 Life-Sized Costume - sirbrad - 09-21-2011
Thanks. I just painted it all chrome so I can weather it up and make it look older and like aged steel, and maybe add some rust

Stage 1 weathering on the leather, bright sun kinda washed out the colors on this one. I also built the battle damage areas into the leather clothes to make it less complicated and less hot, as the jacket is already pretty hot and weighs over 10 pounds. Also added all the bullet holes, and scrapes ad rips etc. These were bascially brand new and it was really shiny so it has been a ton of work just to get this far. But coming along great so far. Closer to the real color, I also dragged the lather on the pavement to simulate the actual look. Will be doing the more detailed blood work soon.
