looking in some unconventional places,,,, and there not cheap!!!

Thats why i love this place!!!! amazing stuff

got another m38 1943 today http://i1255.photobucket.com/albums/hh634/fieldmarshall1942/IMG_3575_zpsuyf6rn4s.jpg Just set up a new photo bucket,,,, ill get some more pic up this week end

Seen several , do you have a picture of which ones ???

Just to get the telescope of course! lol

This is freaking great,,,,,, So much great info.... Makes Me want to buy a Sherman tank!

It is very hard to copy every detail in a assembly but that laser sure does help ALOT. The guy doing my casting is using that solid model to machine the mold cavities ... It all up to him now................

I just got springs and the spring guilds completed for the e11. They look perfect , they even have the tapers . I posted the pictures and the vintage one right beside it... Check out the barrel of springs . http://www.warmachinepaintball.com/

LOL ive got that obsession also ,,, I love the collecting as it pertains to war history and movies .....

Very nice info !

Going to have to bite the bullet,,, im working on having some made

Looks like a million bucks,,, alot of hard work that paid off nicely.....

True,, his collection of resistors are different than mine,,, I scaled from pictures and my own collection of metalmite .. Maybe one day ill own the real gun, or mouse droid from the movie .. Best guess with all info and samples .. I value your opinion Thanks

I think its close the 5 th down, the paint needs to cover a little more ,,, but that v shape is what i profiled on my lcm.... the collection Aaron posted is a fantastic example of the many shapes...

That would be great in high res...

Nice collection!

Bloody Nice,,,,, Thanks for the support!!!! with a little roughing up you really might not be able to tell! Even a little time for the aluminum to oxidize will be great! This layout really shows my dilemma, I struggled with all the variation in profile... They are all hand made and every plug is different AAGASGAGAGAGAgagggggggg! Really make coping a pain Maybe one of these days ill get MY roll crimper perfected and really plug and crimp the ends.... Hell i could fill them with foil and sell them to amp builders LMAO (NO) Check out the links i just laser measured the m19 scope and got the counter back from the caster today.. Been a great day today.... http://www.warmachinepaintball.com/2016/09/30/m19-telescope/ http://www.warmachinepaintball.com/2016/07/30/20160730201607302016073020160730hengstler-counters/%C2%A0

Your very welcome to the sample,, no need for paying the postage. Its gift to you for your input and help...... Single casting is a slow process, I'm getting a multi cavity mold made. All the hole and threads have to be done after its cast.... I post a video of the laser scanning the scope for cadcam http://www.warmachinepaintball.com/2016/09/30/m19-telescope/ http://www.warmachinepaintball.com/2016/07/30/20160730201607302016073020160730hengstler-counters/

Battle conditions claimed most im sure,,, these are so damn rare. I put a huge bounty on them for which everyone who owns one loves me now LMAO . Early war tanks did not make it though the war so im sure they went to the scrap yard during and after the war. The m38 is rare but still obtainable , ive seen them hit 1500.$ Years ago i had the oportunity to buy a stuart tank in the mid 90's , i didnt ! thought what the hell am i going to do with that.... It sold a week later for 15,000 dollars. They go for alot more now. Wonder if it had a scope still in it???? The scope was made to hold up in a very bad enviroment . Like I have stated before, high tech then still high tech. They may make then cheaper but not better.

I havent given up ,, this is by far the toughest project so far. ill deep deep to find a manufacturer to make these ... There are so many replicas that look the part ,I would really love to get one fully functional. That spotting scope that everyone is dismantleing , where is that thing made , i shouild contact them about there parts and pieces??? Maybe those prism will work? how close are the sizes? Your right the first priorty is the "cnc alum replica " ill use it as a study to create and reseach building the functional one... Untill i have a good lens source. It will take some time for the casting mold to be made anyway. I did open up the threads a little so when builders paint them the threads work a little better , but the pitch is still the same. I should see the casting sample come in this week for the counter,,, if it looks ok i can pull the blaster trigger on that item. The internal metal piece can be stamped and "eagled". The front plactic part can be molded fairly quick... This is easy compared to this m19 telescope.. Speaking of auctions ive never heard of a star wars auction with real stuff... They did it with the star trek props and i should have gone ... Yes ! the condition is fantastic,,, I had to strape off some paint on the front screw heads to take it apart AGGGGG ,,, had to be done. I keep it laid out on my RD desk locked away so no one loses anything for me! LOL Ill will spend the next week or so drawing the scope in prep for the mold making and cnc.

Wonder if they would be cheaper in volume???

We need to go into the prism grinding buisness ! .LOL

Nice modifications !

Anyone know anything about some spotting scope that has some prisims in it ??? Do they fit?

Yes, help is always good . Everyone that follows this stuff has been a great influence. What kind of plastic parts,,, does he make prisims? Would be nice to see through this one... It would bring it to life! Henry , Leave it to you to notice the super fine threads . Very tricky to make well . Aluminum tends to gall very easy... Whoever had to do that by hand that deep in the tube was a good machinist. There was no cnc back then! Where did all the original guns and props from the film vanish too??? wheres the horde
