I have a friend who is a Sniper on the Salt Lake City Police Department. I thought I would surprise him with this.
I bought the model from CGTrader, but it was meant to 3D print and was hollowed. After I sliced it using Netfabb, I had to bring it into ZBrush to fill all the hollow areas. I then brought the repaired slices back into Netfabb where I grouped the different slices so when I imported them into Aspire I could do the double side cuts at one go.
I cut it using MDF, but after all the glue up I sprayed the bronze metal coating. Because the rifle would of been to fragile using the MDF, I 3D printed that.
Hope you like it.

It turned out to be approximately 16" long by 13" tall. I definitely liked how the Bronze Metal coating turned out.Curious? What are the dimensions roughly?
