Custom Halo 2 & 3 M68 Gauss Cannon variant

completed and originally publicly posted, March 2013. This model represents my efforts to bulk up and detail the much more streamlined cylindrical Gauss cannon variant seen in Halo 2 & 3. The Gauss Cannon is a very powerful weapon and should look the part. MB's official effort with this particular M68 version was both a little too small and kind of spindly looking. After completing this model I was really happy with the end result. In fact 2-1/2 years later, I still think it stands up well- even when compared to the much more angular and chunky Halo Reach & H4 Gauss Cannon which MB modeled much more recently. The latter rocked by the way and defies all efforts to improve upon it. Props to the MB design teams more recent efforts!
