If you're a regular to the site, you'd
know that we've a
soft spot in our hearts for
recreated video game weapons. Partly, we enjoy seeing skill lead to wares, but we also find inspiration in life's littlest (and most dangerous) pleasures. Take Calgary's own Izy Cheung (shown above) for example, who spent over 100 hours toiling over the masterpiece she's wielding. Resistance 2 fanatics will no doubt recognize the gun as the Marksman, a long-range rifle that hardly leaves the side of a devout sniper. The official PlayStation Blog managed to sit down with Izy for a full-on interview, and we'd say the contents are fairly enlightening. If you're interested in what she has to say on the matter (and don't you pretend that you aren't), that read link down there is where you want to be.

It would be more impressive if it works as it does in game.
Meh, I'd rather spend 100 hours not being seen in front of a hideous trailer.
@ Phil
This picture must be one of those optical illusions. All I see is a
hot girl holding a big-ass gun. Maybe if I look closer I will find
this hideous trailer you speak of.
She's not a 10, but if she really crafted a freakin' giant assault rifle from a video game, She definitely gained a few points!
must be an optical illusion, because you see a hot girl, and i don't.
someone put a ring on her finger NOW.
stop throwing out commands and do it yourself!
you know she shoots puppies with that thing, right?
You mean "Sudo put a ring on her finger NOW"
That's a Canadian gal for ya. Shoot me baby shoot meeh.
Asian canadian gals are the most interesting girls around.
Are you absolutely certain this is a woman?
To be honest, the picture screams tranny. As does the person's blog.
Oh cool totally makes me want to buy a PS3 just for that game....
....NOT. -borat
...DIE. -everyone
Marry me Izy!
I was expecting Sarah Palin to be holding it.
MILF with a kickass sci-fi rifle?
Nice.
@Look_Around_You
"Modder" not *mother*!...
Hahaha! Imbecile.

My thoughts exactly.... Takes a 6 and makes them a 10 not to say Izy's a 6 but hey that gun makes her score off the chart.
...Are dangerous. lol :D

That may be the most bad ass gun owned by a Canadian civilian.
I wonder how many marriage proposals have been received by Izzy in the last 10 minutes?

Ok, enough is enough, Izy... now play with my GUN! :P
My favorite weapon on R2.

I'm impressed.
Most geeks can't even stand to be outside or away from their console/PC for long enough to accomplish anything worth noting.
There's all kinds of geeks and geekness.
She needs to marry me. =D
That looked like Lisa Ling for a second getting ready to pay North Korea a visit.
LOL
lol i thought the same thing
lol!
Wife material.
So she can build hardcore and still look beautiful.
She should build something to clean up her porch.
lol that's Calgary for ya. It's pretty hick over there.
LOL... no kidding, if your going to take a pic with something cool you just built or showing to public, at least pick up shit, make it look decent. But then again, she does have a big ass gun...
When this article appeared in my Google Reader page, I didn't care much, because I only have a Wii and only play it at parties and I'm just not much of a gamer. I looked at the picture and though "I bet if I read the comments, about a quarter will be canadian jokes, a quarter sexist jokes, a quarter marriage proposals from desperate geeks, and a quarter all of the above." And, I was right.
You didn't predict any posts about infectious rectums? I just came back from the proctologist. :(
Geeks, gadgets, girls... one of the three isn't normally associated with the other two.
whenever someone makes a full size replica of a fictitious video game gun, it just proves how stupid and impractical they would be if they were real.
nice work on the gun. i want to see how her whole costume turns out
Props to the girl with the gun
Woo Calgary!
