The blokes in Medway. Explains a lot.

Let's see of this will work now....
 
Some pics of my loot...

Two posters, which I then got autographed and authenticated. Now I just need to get them framed...  Almost everyone signed in black,  but had a laugh with David Hewlett who asked what colour I would like his autograph done in, and I said I would leave it up to him to choose...   so he went with gold and joked that it was in character for Rodney.
 


Some screen-used props with certificates of authenticity...
 


Group photo from Saturday with all the cast and me in SG1 gear (and my Tokyo Marui P90, then solo photo with Joe Flanigan from Sunday when I was in my "what if" cosplay
 



And finally some pics of me posing in front of the stargate props on Sunday in my "what if" outfit.  Unfortunately I didn't gey a chance to pose on Saturday in my SG1 outfit due to crowds and the significant delays with the autograph lines, which I'm pretty annoyed about,  but oh well....
 
Ah, we did meet briefly on the Friday, and I did look at the collector cards, and I was tempted.  It's very possible I was the guy you thought...   I was wearing a Sabaton t-shirt and was weighed down with several bags containing mead I had bought that day as I was heading back to the car.
 
Lol.   Luck you XD
Yep...  =P

We're doing a lot of maintenance right now. More bridges to come, some structures to be torn down and replaced, some repaired, some new ones.
Woodland with a few knackered barricades just doesn't cut it. 
 
 
The decking will be gritted and painted, for extra grip. Think skateboard grip tape, on a larger scale. 
We've had 6 of us jumping down on this one. My welds hold 😉
20240425_150829.mp4 Oh, and I added this today. 
YARRR!

Mine and my sons setup for now.
 
MWS + Glock 26
 
GHK G5 + 4.3 Hi-capa

So a while ago I started to build a hk21e machinegun based on a jg g3 but the gun was a bit screwed and I made a bit of a hash of upgrading it so That rather killed my motivation for working on that. I recently sold off that gun as part of my process of swapping entirely to gbbrs. Having watched a few explosive enterprises vids I decided to give this another go. This time the base gun is a we gbb g3. It came to me with the barrel shortened and Ive just picked up a proper hk21e style clubfoot stock for it. Im planning to model and print most of the bits for it in plastic and then send them off to be done in aluminium when im finished. This is just the first step. 
 
1 new sight block that just sits on the cocking tube and dosent go down to the barrel. 
 
2 front handguard cap with a block hidden under it which bolts to the handguard pinhole to keep everything rigid
 
3 a sleeve to go over the barrel to give it the proper machinegun profile. I have sanded and painted this bit since the proper barrel is tapered and making one of these in metal would be a pain. will probably leave it plastic. It just screws onto the outer barrel nut and gets pinned in place by the flash hider.  

next up is to make the rear handguard cap and order some steel or aluminium tube to make the actual handguard. Ill be building a pinhole into the rear handguard cap where the belt feed mechanism attaches. This would normally be on the reciever instead of the magwell but Im trying to make this in a way which requires as little modification to the base gun as possible. Once the belt feed assembly is made ill be making a box mag to slot onto it, fitting the guts of a 249 box in there, hpa tapping the original mag and drilling a hole in the front for bbs to feed in from a spring tube. Im not really a fan of hpa but for a gbb lmg like this its simply the best option. 

Expect a call from Iran asking how quickly you can deliver a few hundred 

THANK YOU!
I wanted to paint Thunderburp 3 on the side. 

That's a rip off of thunderbird 3. 😂

Pointy is scarier.....😁

So I have been really struggling to find a minerva piggyback Placard in stock anywhere, I really liked that some of the UKSF lads had adopted it for holding flashbangs on the front of the mag pouches so because I couldn't find one anywhere I decided to make my own 
 
I used an elite spanker triple molle pouch with a pistol pouch front and a thread picker removed the pistol pouches and bought a meter of multicam elastic, I have a girl at work who is a brilliant haberdasher and has done some kit repairs for me in the past so I gave it to her to do for me but unfortunately her machine couldn't get through the thick material so I went to hobbycraft and bought a pack of needles and thick thread and some beer because this was going to take absolutely ages 😂
 
I'm more than pleased with the outcome it only took about 3 hours of using pliers to ram the needle through and I only stabbed myself about 15 times 😂

If my kids are involved about twice... 😅

So, I haven't shared this yet despite having it sat around for a few months. For context this was a boneyard A&K Masada/ACR. When I got it, the exterior of the rifle was scuffed, chipped and dented beyond belief and the previous owner had even super glued rails to the handguard. Instead of fixing the ambi fire selector properly, they had also super glued the fire selector on which I've since fixed. Since it was already destroyed externally I decided to go the absolute opposite way of what I normally go for, so I went with the brightest colours I could think of.


 

 
Is it cursed? I think I actually prefer it to the standard look of most of my RIFs.

New 'inexpensive' DMR build. Base gun is a polymer GE 417, for weight and low price. Out of the box it was pretty horrid , but tbf for what it cost I wasn't expecting much. Gearbox is a long V2 with a mosfet and some sort of electronic full auto set up, no COL and a micro switch whitch enables full auto. I'm not realy a fan of mosfets as I see it as adding unnecisary electronic crap, ( and I'm normally running GBBR) but I'll concede that the lack of COL is handy in a semi locked pew.
I've replaced the piston head and added a slightly longer double o ring nozzle, compression is now awesome. Switched to a ZCI rotary hop and inner barrel, along with a M/L rubber and Omega nub. Also a high torque motor. Now running at 1.78j on my home chrono on .36BBs.
Quick blow over with Halfords paint to make it look a bit less plastic and added a few spare decals I had. 
 
It'll get a run out next game to shake it down, but happy with that.
 

Added the peq15 box ad the acog on an aluminium riser, to see over the top of thee peq. So just some pics because I like my new toy.


 

Finally my sten mk2 has arrived 😎


also I decided that my APS AOW needed a stock …. Sorry little buddy 🤣, it’s surprisingly ergonomic now imho

So, as kind of a 6 month update on a three year update, i thought i'd chime in...
 
Martin has left now completely. He suffered some serious bereavement over xmas, losing his mum and his son.
Which is s shit sandwich in anyones books.
 
Jon has full control now and Dimitri (the mad russian) have been busy beavers. The village has been extended with extra structures and cover, the trenches have been redug, the safe are has lighting and the marshalls are on point. Which is all good.
The toilet block is STILL coming but alas has not made an appearance yet. The hill is still a killer (and i'm not getting younger!!).
The shop is getting bigger and the food is getting better each time i go, although the lunchtime queue can be a bit painful. 
They've been trying to put on night games and Milsim type stuff, but i believe Jon has been uber busy sorting out the shops at several other sites.
I still go on saturdays when i can as i usually have the boy and his "hangers on". Havent been on a sunday for a while.
 

So been working on this bad boy. 
Still not finished. But its getting there...  
 
So it's an ares A3
Managed to fit the angry gun mlok rail to it. 
Added the C Reinforcement sections. 
Hka3 added to rear. 
LLM03 3d printed 
 
Not seen in pic is the QR codes added to both sa80 and os4. 
 
Still to do;
Laser engraved the os4
Make a pressure pad and 3d print the coupling. 
Weather it all. 

I have wanted one of these for probably 15+ years ? Seen a chap over on one of the older fourms build a steel wa version.. 
This is mine and still not finished .. need to get some slim grip bushings 🤣
 

Whats a "human oran" and why can't you shoot it?
