Mass Effect 3 N7 Valiant Experimental Sniper Rifle
Like the original M98 Mattock, the Valiant was only available as an add on to the Mass Effect 3 Game. It was featured on the cover art and borrows heavily from the M-25 Incisor design. Luckily, I had just molded my old M-25 incisor project and the castings from that reduced production time significantly on this project. Like the Harrier, this project is about 50% cast parts from a previous project, and 50% re-make from scratch,
The entire piece was painted in black, and then a medium metallic grey. I weathered the entire piece with weathering pigments, sealed it with clear coat, and gently sanded it down in areas to give it a more even diffused look. Lastly, it was sealed one more time. It was a good experiment but I regret not choosing a lighter base color.
