I'm starting to gather reference pictures for a Steyr ACR - mainly to test my surface modelling skills with more complex shapes. Gonna be a pig to model with my limited 'skillz'. I'm also taking a crack at the original HK XM8 concept art (by an Audi designer!) when they figured that the G36 wasn't sexy enough for the yanks. It's batshit bonkers - but I like it.

mightyjebus Posted November 29, 2024 Share Posted November 29, 2024 The ACR is going to be a tough one to model by the looks of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Anonymoose Posted December 8, 2024 Popular Post Share Posted December 8, 2024 Little bits and pieces yesterday Modifying my G3 scope mount to delete the rail and lower the scope as much as possible. Bit of milling, drilling and tapping and got it 95% how i want. Little more needed but i'm happy with it. Then a quick job with some spare brass and delrin; a Mini Tamiya terminal remover.

Popular Post LMKipper Posted December 14, 2024 Popular Post Share Posted December 14, 2024 Well one of the reasons I got my recent Tanaka was that is had a Spartan hop but for some reason, the standard nozzle. This meant it didn’t seal well with the Spartan hop, with inconsistent fps. Long out of production, someone sent me the correct length of the Spartan unit. Measured the Tanaka stocker, then whizzed this up on my lathe in 20 mins. Let’s see how it tests!

It's nice to be able to go into the garage and fix or make anything. (Shame i don't own the house. ☹️) Ironically, what tools i have at work fit in the boot of my little Peugeot runaround. ruskitseller, TheFull9 and Tackle 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MistakenMexican Posted December 15, 2024 Share Posted December 15, 2024 So not necessarily gun related, but gear related. Printed this ornamental skull and stand to put an old facemask on 😃 Got the idea from an American company doing them. ButcherBill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters TheFull9 Posted December 26, 2024 Supporters Share Posted December 26, 2024 Some time next year there'll quite possibly be at least one AEG retail option show up I'd imagine, there's already at least 1 MWS kit I've seen. Obviously anyone who wants a project can get a lot to sink their teeth in to with these, but if you just want a 403 for the lowest cost vs spending a lot of time and money on a build, I feel like the very end of 2024 could be a risky time to start (speaking more to the lurkers here, I know you like building stuff @Anonymoose).

I've already picked a basis for it, a GBBR SR-16E3 CQB MOD2 from VFC. (But i have 3 MP5s and 3 Glocks to finish first.) Overdraft... ACTIVATE!

HuttArmouries Posted December 28, 2024 Share Posted December 28, 2024 So I started buying in chicom rigs and stuff as some of you may have noticed but this was all a ploy so I could get them myself cheaper XD. So ive started modding this one to use with my vfc m16a1 and xm177. Foam spacers in the bottom of the pouch so the mag sits right and I made some tabs to close the pouch out of my leatherworking scraps. As much as the original toggles are cool I dont trust them to hold my £40 gas mags. I didn't bother with neat as you can probably tell but It is plenty strong. Having an industrial leatherwork sewing machine on hand is fun XD. Im considering swapping a grenade pouch out for a holster but I'm not sure what to do with the other. Any ideas?

Moderators Jez_Armstrong Posted December 30, 2024 Moderators Share Posted December 30, 2024 Solved the long G3 top rail issue as I was finding it not only difficult to find a B&T one, they are also expensive Grabbed two long G3 rails from amazon they are about £12.99 each Cut one in half and used the acog to help clamp two together, as well as using each one to clamp to the upper 👍 Jacob Wright and ButcherBill 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
