marktoots Posted July 11, 2015 Author Posted July 11, 2015 Had a feeling that was the case but I wanted to clarify as it was being debated over a beer last night! Anyway, there has been a little more progress today.
4505Marcel Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 Rifle is coming along nicely, I think the muzzle break needs work though mate, assuming that's your finished product? 1
marktoots Posted July 12, 2015 Author Posted July 12, 2015 Thanks mate. LOL. No the muzzel break still needs finishing Need to do some filling before I can finish it 1
marktoots Posted October 17, 2015 Author Posted October 17, 2015 Not posted for a while but this project has progressed. A bit more filling and detailing then it will be ready for painting 1
NegativeEleven Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 I think I had that same airsoft scope on mine for a while. I found one at a military surplus store that had been naturally weathered (black scratched off the surface) to replace it with. I like the look of the bigger one though. That's a great looking barrel. Is it much heavier than the wood body? I bought a real MG42 flash hider, but decided against replacing my handmade one because of the weight. My barrel is styrene shroud with pvc down the middle. A steel flash hider would add a lot of weight to that. 1
marktoots Posted October 17, 2015 Author Posted October 17, 2015 Without the bipod it's fairly well balanced but once I add the steel bipod it becomes very barrel heavy. I'm thinking about counterbalancing it with some additional weight in the stock!
marktoots Posted December 20, 2015 Author Posted December 20, 2015 Well this is proving to be a long build as I keep losing interest for a bit then getting excited about it again! But I have made some good progress in the last couple of weeks and here are the results: (I ran out of matt black spray paint which is why its two tone!) Oh, and I am calling her "The Beast" Do you think it'll be going too far to paint ewok heads on the side with red crosses through them!?!
NegativeEleven Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 I have been losing interest and going back to my E11 build for close to 4 years now, so you'll get no judgement from me. Looking good so far. 1
marktoots Posted December 31, 2015 Author Posted December 31, 2015 Not the best photos in the world (I'll try and get some better ones in daylight!) but "The Beast" is done.
marktoots Posted December 31, 2015 Author Posted December 31, 2015 Some better pictures in the daylight
marktoots Posted January 31, 2016 Author Posted January 31, 2016 The DC -15X had its first outing this weekend after being cleared by my garrison :-)
Griffin-X Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 That blaster turned out really nice, well done! 1
marktoots Posted January 31, 2016 Author Posted January 31, 2016 Thanks mate. The TKs at the troop had blaster envy! Lol
NegativeEleven Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 You gotta put a strap on it. I know carrying mine gets old real fast. Oh, and be careful not to rub that black paint on your chest armor.
