Replica M-98 Black Widow from the Mass Effect series

If you've got your own galaxy to defend or just want a nice piece to display on the wall, here's a set of instructions for how I made my M-98 Black Widow replica.  Follow me on Facebook at QEProps if you like it and want to see more of my builds and projects!

Step 1: Models and/or reference pictures

It helps to research the model you want to build as much as possible.  In this case I snapped a few pictures of the M-98 on the workbench in ME3 and I used as many pictures as I could find online for reference.  If you can find someone that has created a computer model of it then you can usually print out full size blue prints of each side to work with also.  In this case I used all of my pictures to create a solid model in SolidWorks and then made my full size blueprints from that.  Scaling off the pictures the rifle measures just about 50" long.

Thanks! I have to admit that I wasn't a big fan of the gun in-game, I preferred the M-97 Viper. But I built that one too so I'm good! :D
