I've been working on this the past two weeks or so, and it's finally done after about 35 hours of work. It started out as a papercraft model, then I filled the inside with spray foam, coated the entire thing in resin, and then put a final coat of auto body filler on top of that. That was sanded down nice and smooth, painted, and finished with a slightly glossy sealer for protection and a little shine.
It's pretty lightweight (about 4 pounds) and extremely durable, too. I've never done anything like this before, so I'm pretty proud of how it came out. I had so much fun making this, and I definitely plan on doing more in the future.
Probably gonna put it up on eBay soon, wish me luck on selling it! :D

That's really impressive. Nice work.

Thanks for the kind words, everyone! I made it with the intent to sell it, but it still stings a little to give it up, lol. I've got two other projects I'm working on now that are almost done, but after those are finished I'll be making a Mk V Master Chief helmet. Looking forward to that one, I'll post it when it's done.

Well I guess since I already am getting the sword, I should enhance the awesomeness of it all with the helmet.

Awesome! Now just put some wires along the underside of the surface and make it metal, and then superheat the wires via electricity and make it work :P
