Resistance 2 Marksman recreated in fine form by Calgary modder

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.

OK. She is pretty much every nerd's dream girl. A cute asian chick who makes replica firearms from popular video games. And she is single!? Can I get her number?

[Jigielnik Posted Jul 21st 2009 12:58PM]

chicks and guns... where could you possibly go wrong?

[monkey with glasses Posted Jul 21st 2009 2:40PM]

Cheating on them.

[refractured Posted Jul 21st 2009 1:11PM]

Ok, I guess i need to take whatever you guys are on, cause THAT chick is NOT attractive.

[Poop Chef Posted Jul 21st 2009 1:18PM]

Thank you for having standards.

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 21st 2009 1:35PM]

Well that's rude to say... I don't think I'm attractive either but you don't have to word it like that.

You can't tell from one picture, but at first glance I disagree. She is pretty. Maybe not a 10, but well above average.

@ Otsego

Make sure you don't break that glass house of yours, asshole.

BAHAHAH! You guys comments made me lawl so hard...

I have never gotten so many comments saying "She's pretty" or "marry me" like that before, made me lawl. I don't see myself as pretty at all. Average, IF that. But thanks anyways.

Yes I'm an asian girl (who is the most white washed asian you'll ever know). Yes I love my video games. Yes I make shit.
@Mako: Yeah Apparently, yet I'm still single. LOL. I think I intimedate guys. Oh well, I like my singlfe life.

But aside from all the lol-worthy comments, thanks guys for taking the time to look at my gun. Stay tuned for future weapon props and costumes!

congrats on the gun, might i suggest for your next project either the portal gun or the gravity gun? :)

[looselycoupled Posted Jul 21st 2009 3:32PM]

You are cute, Asian, and like to create big ass weapons from video games. You are a god in the eyes of many. ;)

[sinai Posted Jul 21st 2009 4:33PM]

you intimedate me with your spelling....

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 21st 2009 1:36PM]

I think I'm in love...

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 21st 2009 1:45PM]

@zorkon65
Actually I'm already in the planning process of making another R2 gun (and it'll shoot this time, for real. :3 ). After I make all the R2 guns, I'd probably make other guns from like Portal or Halo. (Actually gonna need to make a couple guns for Halo for my future Arbiter costume. That'll be interesting...)

[monkey with glasses Posted Jul 21st 2009 2:46PM]

Props for the gun. Would it be possible to take apart a time crisis gun and put the innards in that, now that would be dope. Just saying, kudos.

[Blackflag486 Posted Jul 21st 2009 3:45PM]

I'd spend over 100 hours toiling the masterpiece she is wielding!

[Blackflag486 Posted Jul 21st 2009 3:49PM]

@hyokenseisou Sorry I do think you are pretty, I have a thing for Asians... haha!

That jpeg is better then porn.

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 23rd 2009 9:41AM]

Only one question popped into my head.

Why?

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 25th 2009 3:38AM]

Because it's a hobby, and my hobby is to make costumes.

Here's a question for you? Why must you troll the internet and post your rude asshatery remarks?
