thisiskevin Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 Hi Guys! I've started to build a DC-15x from scratch, but i'm gonna make it all from wood. I've built this based on Marcel's build 100% But measurements wise i can only do a rough estimate based on what i can see (and the original MG42's length) Somehow i get the feeling that its a little bit too bulky? Or is it just me? For the scope i plan to make it detachable so it can be used for other set as well Would really love to get some critics on this, especially on the measurements. Really hope to get this done ASAP Quote
kiel814 Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 Looks great, man! I've got zero experience with guns (real or props). But it looks a bit too big to me. In the second picture it appears that you can barely reach the trigger. Or maybe it's just the angle of the picture. The questions I would ask are: How does it feel? Is it comfortable? Can you manipulate it easily? Quote
Obey Wann Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 Design-wise, it is gorgeous! I think it is maybe 10-15 % too large. Quote
thisiskevin Posted May 28, 2015 Author Posted May 28, 2015 Thanks for the comments guys! Personally its a bit too big for me as well, and i think it will be a bit hard using it when I'm wearing my armor. I'll try to shave it down by 10% then Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Obey Wann Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 If you have the ability, try comparing it in size to a MG-34/DLT-19, or even to a real-world rifle or airsoft rifle. That might help with the scaling. But it looks beautiful. This build is on my to-do list, so I'm following this with great interest. Good luck! Quote
thisiskevin Posted May 31, 2015 Author Posted May 31, 2015 I just the measurements from Ty in Spec Ops. Will start working on it again next week and will post updates when ive done something more 😀 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
4cdarth Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 think i can get a copy of schematics when it's done. hoping to become scout trooper and i need to headshot some ewoks Quote
thisiskevin Posted June 1, 2015 Author Posted June 1, 2015 I can post all the measurements once its done didn't really have a proper schematics. Just have print outs of Marcel's build on the workshop. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote

4505Marcel Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 Looking good mate, I think the flash hider on the end maybe a tad too long Quote

Chriss Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 Such a great work I love weapons made of wood. How long did you need for build it? Quote
thisiskevin Posted July 1, 2015 Author Posted July 1, 2015 Thanks guys! Roughly around 4-5 weeks to this stage, started on the paint job last weekend. Hope to get it finished soon Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
thisiskevin Posted July 12, 2015 Author Posted July 12, 2015 Hi Guys! Sorry for the slow update, i've finally managed to finish mine. It still needs weathering down though. 1 Quote
whitechapel86 Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 Wow looks realy great Gesendet von meinem GT-I9195 mit Tapatalk Quote
Guest JConner Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 Wow that does look great! What is the total weight of the gun? Quote
thisiskevin Posted August 3, 2015 Author Posted August 3, 2015 Sorry for late reply! Will weigh it when i get home tonight. But since its made from wood its very light Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
lawdawg 35 Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 Really really awesome! You knocked that out of the park! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Murderink Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Looks awesome dude!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
4505Marcel Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 You've done a good job, my biggest critique is that you have missed off the second row of holes in the top of the barrel which gives it a really cool cheese grater effect But it's a nice looking rifle, enjoy it Quote
