ScoutSi[TK] Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 Hey troops,This is my WIP thread for the MG-15 Heavy BlasterI 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 madeThe 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 ScopeI decided I would scratch build mine, and fashion some brackets out of different pipe clipsI started off by slicing up 2 different sets of brackets and heating them to shape, and then gluing them togetherI 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 phoneMounted to GunHose (removeable) addedEnd Pieces addedI 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 memberMore updates soon CheersSimon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScoutSi[TK] Posted June 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Update: Today I decided I would have a go at scratch building the front scope mount. This the real one:I got a piece of scrap ABS, and some spare bits I had laying around and drew a template. I then used some plastic rod for the mounting frame, and then added the scope ringsHere is my effort:Just the single point to go, then its time for tidy up and final painting.Cheers, Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
