Grantd1* Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 This is cool - what's the weight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4505Marcel Posted November 29, 2012 Author Share Posted November 29, 2012 I haven't weighed it, but its fairly heavy. Not sure how the resin copies will compare, as there's a lot if resin needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin-X Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Well, when you get it casted, I'll definitely want one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4505Marcel Posted November 29, 2012 Author Share Posted November 29, 2012 Well I think Im just about there with this now, final filler primer and sand and its going to be painted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin-X Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Top notch work Marcel! It should be an awesome base for your mold and a very cool blaster for events! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4505Marcel Posted November 29, 2012 Author Share Posted November 29, 2012 Those watching this thread and maybe interested in one of these, do you feel a hollow barrel like the original with an inner barrel, or a solid barrel would be best as that would be stronger? I could put a steel rod in the inner barrel for strength, if I make these hollow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grantd1* Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Now I'm no caster but for asthetics I'd want the barrel with a rod - has too much potential to look a bit dodgy. Again, no expert but could the central barrel & extending muzzle all be one piece - maybe made from wood???? It would look good & if it could be inserted 3, 4, 5" into the stock it would also carry alot of the weight?? Dunno - like it though heh heh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4505Marcel Posted November 30, 2012 Author Share Posted November 30, 2012 The gun I hoping will be made in a few bits - Stock, inner barrel, outer barrel, bipod, scope and muzzel I was hoping to have the muzzel and outer barrel in one piece but dont think that will work. I really cant get my head around how on earth im going to mold the barrel hollow??? Think im going to have to quiz the guys on the RPF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin-X Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I'd be okay with a solid barrel version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4505Marcel Posted November 30, 2012 Author Share Posted November 30, 2012 With the solid barrel it could still be dremmeld through the slots, but obviously it wouldnt have the inner barrel then. Id like these to go out hollow really as they would look much better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin-X Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Heck, if you are willing to do that, I think they would be even more awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4505Marcel Posted December 1, 2012 Author Share Posted December 1, 2012 The only other option would be to mold the inner barrel and muzzel attached to the outer barrel, and cley fill the edges level around the side slots and down to the inner barrel, so once casted you can still see some of the inner barrel but not all the way along if you like which you cant on the hollow one. It would just have to be a level slot as any under cut on te side slots would mean I wont be able to get it out the mold, the whole thing will then be alot stronger. Ive primered the barrel today and hoping to shoot some colour if the weather holds tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goubatsu Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Well, when you get it casted, I'll definitely want one. Sigh me up for one of these bad boys! Looks great Marcel! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4505Marcel Posted December 2, 2012 Author Share Posted December 2, 2012 Got it painted up today despite the snow lol, I made a block to go between the scope mounts to make it look one piece as thats what it looks like to me. Now to start thinking how im going to go about the mold, not sure how this is going to go lol. Never made a mold in my life or poured resin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Evans86 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Thats a very nice build, very nice indeed What size is that scope that you used ? I've been thinking of adding on onto a DLT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4505Marcel Posted January 29, 2013 Author Share Posted January 29, 2013 Its a 40mm main lense, but a DLT wouldnt be the same as the scout sniper mate, its a completely different gun bud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Belissimo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Evans86 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I know, I've seen a few people with scopes on DLT's and thought they looked pretty cool, although not accurate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
