A look at what's to come

I've been obsessed of late with Borderlands 2. Kind of reminds me of the days I used to play World of Warcraft and the hours spent farming supplies and weapons.
So I've been thinking of making one of the guns, and one of my favs in the game is the Legendary SMG Maliwan Hellfire. As with all the guns in the game there are lots of variations with sights, grips, stocks etc. I've chosen to go with the most iconic, with the curved grip and solid stock.
I've found some a decent enough image on the net, and luckily have one in game now as well so I've been able to take my own screenshots.
So I've started making some blue prints using Inkscape to create the vectors. A preview's below, it's not finished yet though.

On a site note, I'm going to be getting a scroll saw for Xmas which will work a treat when it comes time to cut out the shape of this bad boy.

Stay tuned for progress
