Damn Babylon.... [emoji1]

Nooooo [emoji1] ONE kg and 229 grams! [emoji16][emoji1303]

EDIT: Current weight is 1,229 kgs

At this moment I cannot say how much the final weight will be, but since many parts are empty and since it sports the aluminum pipe I think mine will be under 7 kgs for sure. Let's say around half (3,5)?

Thanks guys. I'm going to make silicone moulds from the parts you see in the pictures, to have a resin kit, black color. The external barrel is an aluminum pipe and the goal is to have (more or less) as many movable parts as the original MG34 weapon, always taking care to the final strenght of the whole thing. In the pictures you cannot see it but the front (barrel) and the stock are removable for easy transport. The bipod is removable too exactly like the real one. It's empty inside so one could fit electronics and so on. By now I have 4 orders from my Italica Garrison's buddies. I would like to produce a 3D printed kit but it takes too much time and will cost too much. It's a shame because the weight of this baby is virtually none, the resin kit will weight a bit more.

I'm the guy.

More pictures added!

Thanks guys! Will post some pictures more about the making and the final result... [emoji1303]

These are all 3D models made by me using pictures and dimensional references found online

Started some months ago, I've managed to have it completed for the last Cartoomics 2016, held in Milan last March. My intention since the beginning was to make a super accurate version, despite the fact I never had a real one available, so the research with pictures and diagrams was intense. I'm going to make silicon moulds and a kit for some guys in the Italica Garrison. Here it is... Other pictures here (Facebook album) Enjoy!

E6000 becomes like rubber when cured an has a high grade bonding strength while remaining flexible. Hot glue nothing like that. Da Tapatalk

Yeah, not only on ebay...

Thanks Graham, but it's adult size. Think it's too big...

Ok no problem. Thanks!

Hi, any chance to see some pictures of the barrel change hinge (if it's working)? Thanks! Da Tapatalk

Thanks Mathias!

Hi Mathias, just an update...

ATA doesn't need to be painted. MTK armor is similar in features/cost

I have one pair of comfortable mountain bike black gloves with velcroed back to attach ABS handplates for average trooping, and a pair of movie accurate chemical gloves with latex hand plates for 501 approval Da Tapatalk
