(Sorry about my perfect English xd)

It happened a couple of months ago. I really wanted a riot gun buddy, but I realized that it was almost impossible to get it in the game. Since I can't get it in the game, I'll do it in the real life. By making this gunbuddy, I learned a lot of new things, how to work with iron, with paints and etc.

It all started with the fact that I measured the dimensions of weapons in the game and compared them with the results of real sizes using a special table, based on these results, I found out what the size of gunbuddy would be in real life and made drawings (see below, I lost many :( ), then I started cutting cardboard parts, bought plaster and made a mold. Then the most interesting part began. I started melting the tin and pouring it into the mold, sometimes it didn't work out very well xd (see below), but in the end I did all the details. After that I started processing the parts, it was long and tedious, but eventually the parts became smooth and pleasant. Then I put them together, prepared and applied some more primer, found the necessary paints and painted gunbuddy.

After a couple of months, I finally realized my dream (even though it's in the real world xd). I am very happy with the result, maybe the gunbuddy is not perfect, but the most important thing is that it is made by my own hands and with love <3

Unsuccessful parts...
