The shapes of these were largely improvised, as by this point I only had 4 days left until my deadline with many other projects that needed completing.ДЄfter this, the whole gun received a coat of gray primer to seal the remaining exposed wood. More styrene and MDF pieces were added to the barrel and rear area of the gun to build up the details in these areas. Recessed areas were drilled into the gun and filled with countersunk phillips screws

I also added the raised pucks on the grip and stock. Other details were added in MDF around the cell loading chamber, and the rear part of this area was faired down into the barrel of the gun with apoxie sculpt. The bulk of this project was done between 10pm and 1am on most days.ДЄfter a coat of primer and some sanding, I started scribing panel lines with a dremel tool, and adding screw recesses around the front of the barrel. If you're wondering why some of these shots are so dark, recall that the 'extra time' I found to build this came when I should have been sleeping. This terminates into a lathed pine dowel glued to the barrel corner The upper barrel pipe was made out of 3/8' steel pipe. Styrene was added to the lower grip, as well as the cell eject lever and front barrel area for the raised textures MDF discs were affixed to the main body to make the housing around the cell.ДЄt this point, it started to resemble the final product! This is about 6 hours into the build ( Yes, I'm using 'build' as a noun! Colloquial English take that grammar sticklers! ) I pulled two of these and epoxied them around some 2' PVC pipe. I had a small dome mold that I'm using on another project that happened to be pretty close. The microfusion cell was pieced together from some pre-existing elements. Styrene will eventually make up the grip texture. The front grip was made from 2 pieces of 3/4' MDF, screwed together and shaped on a belt sander. The lower support rod was made out of varying sized of pine dowel, threaded over a 1/4' aluminum bar. This was also a low-budget build, so I didn't have the liberty of going out and buying fancy new holesaws. I used a table router to re-shape the holes in the stock and bevel the edges. and a space for the rear stock and lower receiver to mount The barrel has a few sections cut out for the microfusion cell. Ignore the lighter pieces near the bottom - those are part of another build.ДЄfter cleaning up the cuts on a belt sander, I began the assembly of the main body in the 2 most prominent parts - the square 'barrel' and the rear stock. Impressive, right? I had a sick idea of just scotch-taping all these together, painting the whole thing silver, and handing it to him the day of the convention.

I taught him how to use a bandsaw (nothing like a crash course in something that can leave you fingerless!) and he went to town rough-cutting the shapes I'd refine later into the gun. In order to save time, my friend came over and traced my blueprints onto MDF.
