Halo fan and master wood worker LeeKegan has unveiled his faithfully recreated, hand carved Poplar and White Pine BR-55 battle rifle, that will feature a working clip, bolt, scope, ammo counter, sound effects, and flashing lights for the muzzle blast. Once Lee was finished with the carving, he teamed up with his friend Rube to create the molds for the casting. It took Rube a couple tries and techniques to get a few of the pieces ready, but after working diligently and tediously, he was able to bring the Battle Rifle to the community. The finished BR is crafted out of Smooth-Cast® 320 Series Liquid Plastic, a special casting resin.
