My Apoc Build

More progress, always intriguing seeing ideas, sometimes you don’t think of! ??

Also looks like an evil face! ?

?GAMBLE?

 
I keep toying with the idea of putting together a rifle with post apocalyptic styling (or cyberpunk perhaps) but unfortunately the only L1A1/FN FAL I'm aware of is the abomination from Ares.

Admittedly I'd probably be better off with something significantly shorter but I was trying to consider weapons which might be found in armouries in the UK. I suppose this logic would lead to the argument of an L85 but I quite fancy something from the Cold War era, perhaps early 90's at a push.

Excellent work on the outfit to say the least and the gun certainly looks the part.

 
Gun needs a  bit of work. Have an idea I'm going to try on an old spare shorty...

mp5? opens up the backstory to police armouries as well as military.

 
I'd love to find a way to build something like this for a post apocalyptic build. I'm also trying to design a futuristic looking Uzi AEG for a cyberpunk loadout.

 Admittedly it has crossed my mind. Perhaps if I replace my ICS with a WE Apache then I can mess up the ICS to reflect a post-apoc setting/feel although I also appreciate arguments where people have suggested that if you had any knowledge you'd do everything you could to protect and preserve the condition to ensure reliability... decisions...

 
I love when people take one thing they love like airsoft and another like diy and put them together 

Very well done keep at it

Guess it depends on the scenario but the theme with most post apocalyptic stuff is keeping something operational with limited to no manufacturer spares and stacking repairs on top of repairs because you havent a hope of replacing it.

 
Yup hodge pode... from my searches iv came sucrose a wide variety of such including oilman suppressors and aks built with a shovel stock... some even using the shovel as a bayonets... a few replacement bits made out of whatever you have to hand combined with not quite letting your weapon go but probably excessive wear and tear with lack of ability to upkeep for long term... paint being kept optimal isn't as important as keeping internals turning over... 

 
Hi @remus! ?

Recently I put on my status, a quick DIY solution, which is an option you can use, on my AK! ?

I used a simple cable tie to secure the top rail, some camo tape wrapped around the gas tube, with a rail attachment to secure the front! ?

Simple little apocalyptic effect, check it out and you can see what I mean! ??

?GAMBLE?

 
Hi @remus! ?

Thank you for adding yourself to follow! ???

Also tomorrow’s video, will be mentioning an apocalyptic idea for my RIF, is it ok to give you a shoutout for the idea? ??

Work away by all means. Haven't quite figured that side of the forums and such but will have a looksey

 
May has problem. Tried armour on once I'd dried it (apparently too cold in my roofspace ) with my jacket and it's too tight... and iv lost weight... May need to cut a few seams or some such... or figure it without jacket... but that'll ruin the minuteman vibe... dratt

 
Hi @remus! ?

Loosing weight that’s good! ??

All part of the fun, you will find a solution to this problem! ??

I’ve made one small progress with my Apocalyptic RIF, just need to test it out! ???

?GAMBLE?

 
Be sure to show your progress!

Slightly distracted today. Did a lil rust on my torch and decided after like 2 years to finally heat treat a mask I had bought to get it to sit nicer. Needs a lot of work yet as will be adding mesh lenses. Considering adding fan in the beak or even communication stuff... May add external greebles. Has to get dirt and maby rust and more other works on the paint too. Does give a fairly decent idea of what I'm thinking atm though. May combine with the equivalent of a captain America helm... open to ideas though.

Hi @remus! ?

Run into a few issues, but have a few over options, might need to invest in a few parts? ???

Nice mask, reminds me of the plague doctors, Black Death! ??

Plague doc was my first thought on seeing it. So great minds was thinking like a scifi version but now will likely go a bit more post apoc. Am also thinking of essentially a scratch built pipboy with a spare phone and add pics of the sites will be at for quick reference when planning missions on site...iv plenty of leather spare to try so why not....

Always the way. No plan ever survives contact with the enemy... most don't make it that far....

 
Hi @remus! ?

Is there any more details on the event you went to, just had a quick browse of the sight, nothing yet!?.... ?

?GAMBLE?

 
Slight progress. Little detailing and clearing of scraps in the back. Found an old lense that will hopefully work when I figure out how I'll be attaching it. Made eyeholes harder and reduced the blind spot. Will not be able to see my hands... considering a fake bone armour to match with this mask at some point. Have messed a bit with potential colours on m4 but needs more dirt and rust. When I get back to testing it will update...
