Those of you who ever wanted to piece together your very own replica of Mass Effect's M8 Avenger assault rifle should send Harrison Krix a 'Thank You' card. This 28-year-old self-proclaimed "dork working in Graphic Design" went and posted a detailed work log on how to build a very cool looking knock-off of the in-game weapon.

"I've been a huge Mass Effect fan for awhile now, and with the release of the second game I knew I wanted to take a crack at building some of the weaponry from the ME universe," Krix explains. "As a bit of a personal challenge to myself, I decided to construct this gun from as much of my existing materials as possible. That is to say, 95 percent of what you see here is scrap I had in my shop from other builds. In the end, the entire piece cost me $28 in raw materials."

Krix walks readers through the blueprints stage and on through every last step, the end-result being a fantastic battery powered replica that lights up and even simulates the muzzle flash.
