Arnie_DK

I transfered from one COY to another and my squad sergeant had forgot my name(Alrø) so he just called out what he thought my name was: "Arnie come here" where I replied "My name is not Arnie" and then he said "well it is now" The next day I ordered broidered name tags taht said ARNIE, and its stuck with me ever since. And I'm from Denmark, hence the DK

Well I've done some modding to it now, and it alreay looks a lot better. Need to give it a bit of paint here and there, but thats an easy fix. Started by masking of a bit, so I would have some clear lines to follow This metal really eats up the cutting wheels on my Dremel!! And the vacume cleaner in the pipe is a nice way of keeping everything tidy Some additional filing and heres the result Added a M40 scope I just got in the mail from Marv today, and a real Hengstler, and voila! Thats it for now. Will look into adding a rear bolt with charging handle some other day.

That would be the ultimate But then I would have to mod the end of the tube to incorporate the licking mechanism for the endcap...

I'll make the trade while youre out. As I can see we are in the same cabin, and everybody knows that swedes cant take alcohol

Maybe I can switch my MR out for yours, and you wont even notice

I would say go for the complete kit and then when you feel more comfortable you could do a pipe build. But really, the complete kit is awesome!

Its already black inside so thats no problem, but I intend to have some lectronics installed, and that would be visible to the outside world as a strange clunky shape. Easier to just keep the mesh Besides I already got Centurion for my TK and thats what matters

Nope, but damn close But for Lancer I would have to remove the mesh in the ears, and thats just plain silly in my eyes. It would be the same as saying you cant go Centurion with mesh under the TK's teeth I'm all for screen acuracy, but we are still a costuming group and there will be taken close up photos of us, so I choose to look good for the public

Well I'm calling it done. Going by the GML for approval tomorrow And complete gallery with WIP and finished pics HERE

First blaster is definetly a ROTJ blaster. The second one I am positive is a resin cast of a Master Replicas blaster with extra bits added. That weird lookig bolt is a dead give away

You did that only with a grinding disc on your Dremel!! Amazing! With a bit of sanding/filing, I think that surface can become real smooth. Have to give it a try sometime. I really want a better bolt in my MR. Thanks for sharing

Awesome!!! And thanks for telling him to contact me man Lets hope it works, and that he will disregard my last (not so friendly) email

Loving it! Do you have any wip shots of the bolt?? How did you make it?

Youre going nuts with this thing

I know the lock wont work on this thing. The problem is the end cap is too fat. The stock cant go over it at all.. Will have to do a lot of bending on the stock arms, to make it go over it, into where the locked position is upposed to be. May fiddle with it friday night in LEGOland, then you can also see for your self

I think you could make a small fortune(or at least some money) if you put together some ready to install kits and sold it to people in here I would buy it for sure, as I simly dont have the skills needed to do this myself

Its partly because of the extra plate and partly because the "taps" just doesnt fit into the trenches in the handle. I have tried with the extra plate taken out and it still wont go all the way into the locked position. And then there is ofcourse the end cap problem On the "good" news list, I believe its very easy to install a real stock, should I ever get my hands on one

Well... Its no longer an untouched collectible... Had to try and make the stock work, and by God they made it difficult! For the stock to open you need to dremel the middle bit all the way in the front. Otherwise it wont fold open. When that is done, it cant get in to the locking position. And it wont go over the end cap! One thing I did learn and that will probably help others, is that if you remove the two pins holding the stock in place, in the back, you can just remove the entire thing and you will have easy access to every screw in there...would havcve been nice to know, before almost pulling everything apart. But except for some paint chippin and the 1mm i removed from the front, you cant see it was ever disassembled(its put back together now)

If you get a hold of them, tell them to answer my mails will ya

May end up by chickening out...but then again... Its a collectible yes, but its not that good... decisions decisions.

Think the only other option would be a deac MG34(HEAVY!!!) or get someone to sell you a hyperfirm(good luck) Guess well just have to stick to the e-11's

Hehe that thread IS my inspiration. Wanted to do what he did It just looks so much better

Btw this is how much I have managed taking it apart without breaking anything

Yeah I found that yeesterday before posting, and it made me wonder if that was all there where out there. Theres really no modding done, except adding a hengstler. Thats really a no-brainer
