  1. Thanks for all the kind words troopers. I used pandatrooper's plans he posted up and followed his tutorial. Thanks bro, as for size it does come in a inch and a bit shorter as I followed pandatroopers build and plan. He does state in his build it will come in a bit short. Rubber tubing is 13mm neoprene rubber tube cut to size and the ends glued together, then slipped on to the barrel and slid into place. Cheers.
  2. Ok, I have added the finishing touch to the beast in form of a sling. After researching the slings used in the movie I found that they were a Enfield rifle sling used in WW2. These are still quite common to buy and I found 2 at a good price (2 slings are needed for the T-21), alas the shipping from the US to here was a JOKE. Besides I have scratch built the whole gun so I thought I would have a go at making a sling. Started with a ratchet strap, I cut this in half and sewed the 2 halfs together to make it thicker. I made the end clips out of a piece of gal. metal and wire. A thinned out coat of acrylic paint tinted to a shade of tan was painted into the strap and a light coat of gold sprayed on to the clips to give them a brass look. A metal brace was cut and filed into shape for the mount on the stock. All attached and ready to go. Forgot to add in the first post that this can be broken down in two for transport. Cheers.
  3. It started with this....... And ended with THIS...... The main body is pine with greeblies made out of posterboard with super glue soaked into it and pvc pipe. The barrel of the "beast" is 2 sizes of pvc pipe, a plastic tumbler and 13mm neoprene rubber. For the paint finish I uncoated the the timber on the body of the gun and then coated it with a enamel "hammer" spray paint, then weathered it with silver. The stock and hand grips were stained with a walnut stain and then given 2 coats of clear varnish. Scratches and dents were made with the edge of a metal ruler and then black acrylic paint rubbed into said scratches for a beaten up and used look. The cooling fins were given a coat of gold spray paint and then weathered with black acrylic paint and silver paint. Rear sight is movable. This beast ROCKS......... Cheers........
  4. Hey Cam, I'm about to get "Dirty" myself.
  5. G'day all, crypto CT/TK2620 here. I'm a trooper with the Redback Garrison in Australia. Currently have a TK and a clone shocktrooper and I am working on putting a bounty hunter together. Seriously thinking of making the shiny white.....DIRTY . After doing my clone I love the whole "weathering" process. Hopefully one day I can ask to be "Deployed". Cheers, Martin.
