Scout Carbine WIP

[Prophet106]

So i've been working feverishly for the past few days on a scout carbine . . .

 

I wanted it to look E-11ish so it 'sat well' with the star-wars universal weapons. The receiver is from an airsoft M4 with the selector switch and forward assist removed. I have also cut down and filled the magazine-well. The stock is a tippmann A5 folding paintball gun stock. I had to dremel the hell out of it to get it to fit. The front end is hand-made from bits i had lying around. Some 40mm pipe, lengths of thin plastic tubing and a few other bits and bobs to make the front-sight/muzzle.

 

Im going to placing some led's on the inside with a few clear bits of plastic on the outside, these will be wired to the trigger. There is also a red laser in the muzzle which will activate when the trigger is pulled

 

It still needs some filling, sanding and painting as well as a horizontal magazine (where the ejection port is). I also have a resin 'tank scope' on the way (same as an E-11) which will be mounted on top. I'll add more progress pics as and when . . .

Sorry it is not going to work out, send it this way for dismanteling...

[Prophet106]

Right . . . Finished the magazine, housing, scope rail and scope.

 

 

Still lots of filling and sanding to do. Its also going to be much blacker when its finished. The chrome is just a base-coat

[BlackDOG]

I really like your magazine...how did you make that?

A spare off-cut of wooden decking i had kicking around in the garden

 

Cut it to the right sort of shape, caked it in filler then sanded it down. Dremelled a few grooves in it to make it look 'magazine-ish' and added a few strips of plastic around the base where it meets the receiver to make it look like a magazine-well. Then hosed it down in chrome

 

It'll be a lot darker when ive finished

[Prophet106]

Bit more work done today. Few coats of paint, cleaned up a bit etc. Few greebles added. Its about 90% done
