Yoko's Rifle - Gurren Lagann

Description

I was recently commissioned by :icondestinyavenged: to create a replica of Yoko Ritona's giant rifle from Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. I'll post better pictures when she starts using it!

The design is based around the blueprints provided by Blind Squirrel Props at [link] - with some alterations and creative license added.

We didn't want to spend $40 to buy a bipod, so I opted to build one out of aluminum rod, meccano pieces, mdf, random rubber feet and lots of epoxy. It's not amazingly sturdy but it does the job and it can fold up.

The gun comes apart for transport, the barrel is held in place with a large bolt/wingnut hidden underneath the front of the scope. The scope comes apart and slides out of its holders as well.

The gun is about 6' 5" and is mostly made of ABS pipes, wooden dowel and MDF.

Features: Folding bipod, removable ammo clip with built-in storage, sliding bolt (more secret storage), and quick dissessembly for transport.

I started getting short on time so there's a number of things that could use improvement: It lacks mock bolt-heads to create a nicely assembled look, it needs a better sanding/filling job, needs to have a more accurate paint job (charcoal vs. black, not as shiny), and needs metal plates to cover the sides of the bipod legs.
