Hey troops, This is my WIP thread for the MG-15 Heavy Blaster I was lucky enough to get my hands on an actual MG-15 replica, and for less than £100 - I think i paid £90 for it! It’s made of wood but whoever made this did an amazing job as it’s very accurate for a wooden prop, the saddle drum is very nicely made The gun had been painted a flat Black colour, but I wasn’t happy with it and there are also a few marks and bits that need some filler so I sanded the whole thing back and then shot it with a few coats of primer so I could see the parts that needed a touch of filler. I also decided that I’d add the scope rails and scopes before painting. Rear Section and Snooper Scope I decided I would scratch build mine, and fashion some brackets out of different pipe clips I started off by slicing up 2 different sets of brackets and heating them to shape, and then gluing them together I dremeled the bottom of the brackets to fit the contour of the receiver, and then screwed them in place. The scope is made of several bits of plumbing pipe and fitments, having sat in B&Q for an hour putting bits together and looking at pics on my phone Mounted to Gun Hose (removeable) added End Pieces added I still need to add the rubber eye piece but I’ll do that after it’s been painted, and then fit the Singlepoint scope, which I’ve yet to get hold of, but I do hopefully have a lead on one from a fellow garrison member More updates soon
Cheers Simon
