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...

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.

remus Posted February 17, 2021 Author Share Posted February 17, 2021 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...

GAMBLE Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 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💷 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAMBLE Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 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? 🔫🤔 💷GAMBLE💷 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remus Posted February 20, 2021 Author Share Posted February 20, 2021 Work away by all means. Haven't quite figured that side of the forums and such but will have a looksey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remus Posted February 27, 2021 Author Share Posted February 27, 2021 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAMBLE Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 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💷 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remus Posted March 3, 2021 Author Share Posted March 3, 2021 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.

GAMBLE Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 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! 🤪👍 💷GAMBLE💷 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remus Posted March 3, 2021 Author Share Posted March 3, 2021 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.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

remus Posted March 3, 2021 Author Share Posted March 3, 2021 It was down as an event. Attaching a few screens from their page to let you see roughly what I had to go on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remus Posted March 13, 2021 Author Share Posted March 13, 2021 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRay Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 I thought you had inexplicably stuck a little bottle of red tracer BBs on the top of that. And then I realised it was a pink Himalayan salt grinder in the background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAMBLE Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Hi @remus! 👋 Funny, I’m playing Metro Exodus, just makes me want to continue my Apocalyptic Loadout! 🤪 Also have modified my RPK, with some additional parts, still might give it more? 🤔 Also got my favourite side arm, which on its own can be a primary weapon, with some good range! 🤪👍 💷GAMBLE💷 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remus Posted July 30, 2021 Author Share Posted July 30, 2021 sounds good. i probably should get some form of ak at some point for this sort of thing but money... sigh. for now its making what i have and can work with do what i need to. most of it is only visuals tbf and with the limited time im firing into it im happy with the progress. when i get to do some work on the m4 i think itll get more interesting for peeps theres always more o do and ways people mod some apoc guns has me going wat ta frig alot. if its normal and can be adjusted to replace a normal part they will. course i like what i do to be reversible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remus Posted August 3, 2021 Author Share Posted August 3, 2021 Slight update with a torch. We'll headlight that fits quite nicely to my hat. Painted to look dirty rusted metal. One light coloured red so to signify dead in game(never got around to that for the last game) came out alright and should do the job. Have been repainting the shinguards to match the torso more for the look than anything. Probably need to varnish the lot to help it survive getting shot a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
