That's a great compliment, thank You!

With the made corrections

Butt area , also by hand with XF-16 will need some corrections with black XF-1 flat after drying

Thank You! here next: handpainted with Acryl Aluminim flat XF-16 (Tamya)

Here I have set the bolt As the shockspring and the tubes were not removable anymore (already screwd with the butt) I had to trimm it a lot and round to bring it in by the hole on the end and slide it forward. Tested a bit until it had such a good hold that I wouldnt need to make a hole for a screw or use glue, as it would smear the tube. More soon :-)

When I am right, my mate who painted it (he learned on painting/spraying cars), set it onto a stick vertical way, as the back cap was not yet mounted on and it was open and possible to put through the inside tubes. I am german speaking I hope its understandable yet there were things to be done - Bolt - Hengstler (numbers) - bolt excluder - Butt - Scope (lenses)

Thank You guys! It is also for me a good feeling not to have given up as I see more and more what it has become now. As I have recieved it back from paint yesterday. I must admit I didnt do that myself as I felt not able to do that good I gave grey spray (non-gloss) for first and black non-gloss for the final NOTE: Dont take spray with "AQUA" for this. I did. Its looking good but the hold of the color is not so good. When it dangles on something or the gun lays on desk, hm it gives some dots / dashes into the color. Well first the pix how far I am now:

ready to get painted Its not totally perfect but I'm much satisfied with it. The ending part is done of course it's just not on here. I'm not sure yet If there's gona be wires.

First test

Looked like this. Between bracket and the 2 screws and the hengstler box I had added a plastic plate for a better hold. Somehow it didnt come straight so I had to trim that part.

Drills for the hengstler. The heads of the m5's are way to big / too close to each other, so I trimmed until both screws can go in (here the bracket is unmolded yet). I used a lux sinkink tool for the holes

Using some different white mold to make it look better

Testing if it works and if the scope goes straight to the rig . It didnt but I was able to fix it

Drilling the counterbracket for the m5 screws with a lux-tool cutter for m5's as I didnt only want to glue the screws on

Making this smaller, letting it dry and then trim

Removal of wrong direction mounted C-ring with care with a knife on the mold and pushing up softly Operation successful. Then taking out the bolts and clean it. Now on place where it should:

@Darth: thx. Understood that already before. It's okay and I'm sorry. I had a terrible april & may. and some days before the last postings my appartment had robbing visitors. Witihn 2 weeks all went crazy, including me :-/ Now after a break that I needed, I made these corrections: Shorter button at counter. Now about half the length of before: this backside:

Good to see this. Compliments. Looks great!

I'll get over whats done already and make the possible corrections. I would like to add a sorry to the troopers before this page (page 2). Having way a hard time due to different reasons (job, privacy) all went a bit closer than it is dear to me and too many things came in in a short time and even small things get hard to take. I hope this can be accepted. With regards & respect Michael

Thanks Arnie. My goal was not to do superduper accurate. Just as good as possible. And there are so many versions. CRL for weapons, such would be great. So I ask myself why a fuzz for that there at the end is none and no approval needed and contrary oppinions too. Confusing. The rest of the costume is hard enough.
