4505Marcel Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Decided to build a sniper rifle for my scout, going to do the battle front MG 42 style with the massive scope, which to me makes more sense than the DLT19 with the little scope. Ive brought a deactivated MG53 light machine gun, which is exactly the same as the MG42, just built after the war by yougoslavia. Plan is to make a mold from this one and reproduce them in either resin or rubber like the hyperfirms. Biggest issue with these is that the barrel is so open so is going to need to be packed out with clay. Im hoping to keep the side vents open but close off the top vents to allow the mold to be pulled off the gun. Not sure when I am going to be able to get round to this as I need to finish a couple of costumes first, but it will get done. Any way heres the pictures- 1 Quote
Marix Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Now this is something I would be interested in but I wouldn't have the luxury of being able to import one of these MG's in deactivated or not. So i'll have to stick with my peashooter for now. Quote
Chef Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 did you have the urge to shout 'Dakka Dakka Dakka!!!!" Quote
Griffin-X Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Very cool Marcel...I am the guy with the DLT-19 and small scope. I would love to own one of these too. Quote
Dart Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Depending on the cost, I'd be interested. I've always preferred the look of the MG 42 over MG 34. Quote
Boba Leo Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 Very interested in your build Marcel!!!!!!!! Leo Quote

4505Marcel Posted February 4, 2012 Author Posted February 4, 2012 Il probably just do a small run, just to help with molding costs, making mine more affordable, if not im going to have one silly priced MG42 copy to troop with lol Il also cast up a scope in resin, I have my eye on one on Ebay now. 1 Quote
