![Props – Giveaway Magnum Build [Soon to be Pick Heavy] | Halo Costume and Prop Maker Community](https://myfashiontype.com/wp-content/themes/mts_newsonline/images/nothumb-featuredfull.png)
It’s been a hot minute i beg forgiveness however life ebbs and flows. Anyhow pictured below is the progress/steps on building a Halo Reach Magnum. i’m working on 2 for giveaway winners from my Instagram:
Step 1: [The Template]
The Template, as well as process is inspired and created by Andrew DFT. After securing the template i brought it into photoshop and scale the template on a blank document that is scaled to in cannon measurements. if i were scaling this to myself I’d set it against an 8.5 by 11 in canvas size, and scale until the template’s grip looks to fit my hand.
Step 2: [Transcribing to foam]
After cutting the template from the paper, i transcribe it to the foam. i pick and choose certain portions to cut away from the main template to work on as separate pieces. [See second picture]
Step 3: [Freeing “Buck” from Foam]
For my version/process i usually cut b/w 3-4 bucks or blanks of the magnum. 1 for safety 3 for the 3 main layers. my magnums are comprised of 2 outer layers , and a single inner layer. the inner layer will eventually have a hollow for a removable magazine. stay tuned!
Pictures: Apologies, I’m not sure if I’m posting them wrong but it says my pictures are too large. going forward the pictures will be titled to match their steps and I’ll be sure to make mention/marks on the pictures for specific reference.
