What have you made?

[Rogerborg]

but I was using the cheapest/already opened first

That is fully relatable.

So here’s a sneak peak on the work in progress to my new project which I think will surpass my mask/mesh combo hack.

It will be designed to go over a pair of Bollé Pilot goggles and snap to the out goggle frame and I’m hoping it will weigh less than the mask/mesh combo (atm it weighs a fuck tonne)

@ShamalThink “Monkey Skull meets Punisher logo”, there’s a fair bit of sculpting around the lenses and atm debating wether to sculpt the long teeth of just paint them on the mesh guard 

sometimes I wish I would pull the trigger on eye surgery but I’m too chicken and really don’t want to see the needle coming at my eye….

I've not got an artistic bone in my body. So can't help you there. 

I shall await the finished product with tingling anticipation ?

It's lasers now I think..?

 

[MiK]

Heheh your right but from what I’ve heard they have to numb up your eye first and there’s only one guess how that happens

If you can definitely sculpt the teeth , actual what ever’s always looks so much better than just ‘painted on’ ?

 

[MiK]

Latest piccie as I managed to get a on the face shot as it’s kinda hard to take a selfie atm ?

Currently un decided own the lower jaw & teeth should look but I think it’s starting look how I want it to be (minus the teeth)

Totally off topic (but hay this is AFUK after all ! ?‍) no needles involved , they use lidocaine drops in your eyes to numb them . ?

 

[MiK]

@Druid799 It’s still gonna be a hard pass on messing with my eyes - rather be short sighted than be the unlucky one when something goes “pete tong”

Since having kids who think that stealing your glasses off your face and breaking them is the best thing since nap time, I've switched to contacts semi permanently. It took a while to find the right ones though and I hate to say it but the more expensive ones made of a softer material are miles better than the cheaper ones.

I dont have anywhere to put a gun wall and have recently moved so have very little budget and no skills but set myself the challenge of making a armounry for £0 so i grabbed a wardrobe and set of draws off of gumtree for then used an old pallet and some slats from a bed for the extra wood.

it doesnt look amazing but for a first attempt im reasonably happy with it.

All ive actually had to pay for is the magazine and pistol hangers.

I've said this before, you are one multi-talented guy. Nice progress so far. Are you going to use this one as a master to cast the final in a more durable material?

 

[MiK]

@Mr. No_Face Most definitely, atm it weighs probably close to 3lbs so far excluding the under structure as I’ve used 1kilo of modelling clay

I’m trying to get it done for the AFUK meet up @ Z-Mart at the end of July ?

Modified someone elses hi cappa split slide model to have a longer barrel. Im very interested to see how well this comes out.  Ive ben quoted £22 for both barrel variants and a slide so if it needs some tweaking its no big deal. This is going to be my sidearm for a cyberpunk style event.

@Shamal well I tested the goggle/mask/fan today it worked a treat to remove any fogging within seconds of turning on of the fan but on the bad side that the goggles are great for pistol only use but the mask is too wide to get my cheek down to the stock so I could use my scope effectively.

I’m gonna make that mask my pistol only Mask and look at thinking on to work around but it does mean I might need to take a closer look at my skull mask.

on a Side note the Reverse Bandoleer worked absolutely bang on

Good news on the efficiency of your creation ?

I have that problem with the wire mesh lower face protection.

Just find it hampers being able to shoulder gnu and aquire target smoothly.

You must be chuffed,apart from sore hip,that the fan works well though.

The other, potentially easier, answer is put your optic higher… be that via a riser or just higher mounts.

Many ways to skin a cat and all that, just figured it was worth mentioning.

 

[MiK]

@alxndrhll I am pondering on using mesh middle and padded sides for the next version

To quote Jeremy Clarkson - 'I made a thing!' - well, printed something from thingiverse.

Got my first 3D printer (Ender 3 V2) yesterday, printed my first Airsoft-related 'thing' today - a front sight rail for a G36 - removing the standard carry handle rail and putting a KAC/Tommy Built Style low profile rail on top instead.

The rear Rail is gonna take another 8 hours. Slow Business this 3D printing malarkey.
