Steampunk Dystopian Sniper Rifle (Mercury Bow)

Step 2 Further modelling

Ok next,

" Pictures 1-4 show the building up of the barrel end, It was made from built up cardboard, and a couple of 90 degree brackets, These were superglued, then PVAed into place.

" Pictures 5-9 show the building up of the Stock, This was done by creating a series of small 'bridges' down either side. I then made two 'cover' sections, which had score marks in them to allow them to bend. I then just glued it all into place with PVA, and superglued to padding section on.

Once these two sections are done, it best to leave it over night to dry.

ousire again. i still dont know how to replicate the bridges you've done. do you think it would be possible to make the curve with a large amount of cardboard cutouts, each one smaller then the rest, stacked on top of each other to get the general shape of a curve, then smoothing it over with some sort of sculpting clay substance?

i really don't think that i could ever pull of making that bridge and cover thing for the stock, but i really want to try and make the thing. any tips or alternate ideas for making something similar looking?
