What have you made?

[AK47frizzle]

I think we lack a thread for the more creative and technical side of things like homemade accessories and 3D printing/CAD.

 

So... what have you made? Or, are making right now? Can be anything from cutting and filing some mask to suit you, to more grandiose projects like making your own ghillie suit, or some 3D CAD model of yet another M4 handguard. Concepts and ideas are cool too if you have something to visualize it.

 

I guess I'll start:

 

Made a lightweight outer barrel for an M4 from scratch in fusion360:

 

Gonna make a lightweight handguard to pair with it and then print them both in a bronze/copper finish. Dramatic weight losses inc.

ooh, imma have to get back to you on that one with pics n stuff.

[PopRocket123]

This one's kind of been abandoned recently as real life has gotten in the way but here's the front end of an M-LOK rail extension for my SCAR H DMR. I got as far as a first test print and starting to redesign it to work out all the problems that brought up but I haven't touched it in months now. The plan is to also design and print a suitably sniper looking replacement for the ugg boot

Last year's stuff

 

I had a go at making a bladerunner deckard blaster using resin. 

I'm soon to do V2 using a DWL kit for a h8r. A more viable option than spending nearly a grand on a delicate and rare HWS deckard blaster replica. Although I still want one. 

 

A working airsoft blunder buss converted from a denix replica. Fired mad bull shotgun shells. Tbh you could convert almost any denix flintlock to fire shells. 

 

And I had a tm uzi that the trigger snapped on, so I grafted the body around a KWC mini uzi to make a GBB uzi. 

 

I've done other stuff last year, I made a semi auto spas 12 shell ejector from a maruzen m1100 and a broken TM, a wrist mounted grenade launcher for about £2.50 but I can't find any photos.

This is really minor but I have my first cqb game next week and there's some dark areas. Was looking at a pressure pad torch but didn't fancy paying £20 or whatever incase I didn't like it so modified this £1 petrol station torch using a bit of an old biro! 

[AK47frizzle]

So ye............ Special filaments like silk copper are extremely brittle, significantly more so than regular pla. They're only usable as mechanical parts if the entire thing is thick and solid. The barrel legit just snapped as I was removing the supports.

 

Oh well. Gonna try again tomorrow.

 

[Cromulon1994]

A thread adapter for one of my h8rs so I could plop a tracer on it. 

Made from a biro and stuff from my plumbing kit. 

Will paint the tracer unit to match the gun at some point, probably when I put a torch or laser on it.

Made a mock grenade out of a roll on deodorant 🤦🏻‍♂️

remodelled my kfh a few times and this is the best one so far:

 

 

and 3d printed (left one): 

 

 

Getting better and smoother with each print. Can't even see the layer lines anymore. Need to sort the vertical artifacts and tighten up the knurling part as it's a bit sloppy.

A couple of Vickers I made for a EH show a few years back

Wow, lovely stuff.  Props, or with shootable internals?

 

I guess I'll re-shill my Imperial Guard kit since @Musica bumped the Load Out page 30 seconds after I posted it there.  

 

 

The helmet is just a MICH that needs some work. The armour and gun shell (around a G36 with an M4 magwell and short VN style mag) are EVA foam which turns out to be great for LARP airsoft use.

 

Cheap, easy to work with, light, and takes all the sting out of hits while still giving a distinctive noise and feel that has allayed my initial concerns about accidental God Mode.

 

What's interesting is just how much of the initial pattern I had to remove in order to make it usable.  Big sections around the arms and neck, and that large side gap isn't accidental, it's to give sufficient movement between the front and back to stop the thing riding up when I bend and twist and shout.  You'll see cosplayers with more complete armour including solid side plates, but they're mostly just posing in it, not moving and aiming.

always thought a g36 would be a great base for a bolter...

Thank you.....Just props mate

Another denix conversion to mad bull shells. The darker one is a KTW which has a fake wood body and the other is the denix.

Today, I built an ARP .45 😈

Fed up of cz mags falling out of pouches? Fear no more. Designed to latch onto the cords of pouches that have them:

 

 

 

 

Just need to make grips of the same colour to match.

 

Also, further refined my amplifier to the point where you can't even tell if it's a 3d print anymore:

 

[Rogerborg]

Proper chortle.  So, after posting my pic (above) to Facebook's Airsoft Heretics group (worth a join), this chap was inspired to make his own Astra Militarum gear in one 40-hour week constructing frenzy.

 

 

 

Have I started something?  After all this blows over, I'm half seriously wondering if it might be possible to put together a squad of the Emperor's faithful at some national event or milsim-lite.

 

I mean, it is milsim, just from 38,000 years in the future.

I'd be well up for something like that, especially running as a heavy bolter team or something

[remus]

that would be very cool... considering getting out my resident evil stuff... coronovirus and such... suppose i could stretch to a guard one at some point

[Jaylordofwaargh]

MMy brother has a commissar build wip, (I have told him this places exists) here is the beginning of his lasgun or I will load it soon...

[HuttArmouries]

A small selection of some  of the stuff I make. I also do metal work but breastplates and chainmaille arent really relevant here though I do intend to make some aluminium sci fi body armour at some point. 

[AK47frizzle]

Wew, after deleting like 100 attachments, I can finally post one again.

 

Remade my cz grips and base to look more slick:

 

 

Have a banding problem on my printer atm so i gotta sort that out
