: Earlier this week I finished working on a really cool Spike Rifle kit that
: was created by 405th member Smick6 . (I acquired the unfinished kit
: through Sean Bradly, who was not able to work on it.)

: Much like the Assault Rifle I was working on earlier this year, this item was
: created by another person and then made into a raw cast that I was then
: able to start tinkering with. Being the nervous perfectionist that I am,
: this year I've simply been working on pieces by other community members in
: an effort to hone my own skills enough that I'll be comfortable sharing
: things that I've made myself. I'm not quite there yet, but every new
: project I work on I learn something new to apply to my own builds :)

: Anyway, I had a lot of fun cleaning this guy up and bringing him to life. I
: know most of you probably aren't interested in the whole process, but if
: you want to see it from start to finish, check out my thread here on the
: 405th.

: Here are the reference pictures I used:
