Fallout 3 Fan Creates Amazing Plasma Rifle
Some people go fishing to relax, others make ships in bottles, and a select few create models of alternate-future energy weapons.
If you've ever entertained the idea of spitting hot green globs of plasma at a troublesome rad-scorpion, or seeing off some pesky, brahmin-rustling raiders, then Ryan Palser's incredibly detailed Plasma Rifle model is probably the closest you're going to get without inventing a whole new field of weaponry.
Palser - who is an animator by day - started building the model back in March and finished it earlier this month: a build time just a few weeks shy of five months. Palser wrote on his blog [http://kronosprops.blogspot.com/] that he builds the models to relax, and has detailed all but the final step of the rifle's creation. It's constructed out of a combination of plastic, wood and metal, and contains electronic components to get that wonderful green glow.
The plasma rifle isn't the first Fallout 3 weapon that Palser has created either; also pictured is the laser rifle he created earlier this year. According to Palser's Flickr [http://www.flickr.com/photos/ryanpalser/] page - where you can see a load of pictures of the both rifles - his next project is building a turret from Portal, and considering the amazing job he did on his last two projects, it's almost certainly going to look spectacular.
