Making a realistic looking replica of a weapon featured in a video game is hard enough, but making a replica weapon that looks like it has survived a nuclear winter multiplies the difficulty by ten.
But bringing a weapon from Fallout 4 to life isn't supposed to be easy, it's a quest worth lots of XP and a legion of followers, so builders betters make it count.
The talented artisans at Show and Tell Props took a pile of plywood and some geeky dreams and brought Fallout 4's brutal The Last Minute Gauss Rifle to life, and while it may not be combat ready it sure looks like it can do some serious damage!
