Looking good bru

That's awesome!

Looks good

Did you reprint the filter as a one piece?

"As I don't have access to a 3D printer and have limited tools and even less skill sadly it will never be as good a build as most on here." Everyone starts somewhere and your off to a great start, You don't need a 3D printer or fancy tools. Yeh they're nice to have and cut time and weight off the finished product but your way is just as good. You'll be surprised how you look at things differently in shops and bins now, all the time thinking 'what could that use that for?' What you using for the barrel?

Brass?

What screws are you using on the pistol grip?

hmm It looks better than mine, Lets swap!

Looking good Joel, Got a V2 barrel reducer printing as I speak. As for the V1 prototype It wasn't so much hit the ground running but definitely a learning curve. I need to swap the front end as I messed up printing the gas block part of the barrel and cheated instead of just printing a new section Joel cut the file where I messed up his amazing work (one for the curve, If the print fails 5 hours in just reprint it don't try and botch it) That's why there's all the bondo on the barrel. Not a great deal of care was taken by myself to build the kit as it was just really to see if the parts worked as a print and fit together. That said It's turned out really nice and the V2 can only get better. Initially I primed the whole thing with grey then gave it a coat of silver before hitting it with matt black . The stock and grips where done with Halfords dark brown from there camo range and weathered with some black acrylic. All the parts that would be metal where done with silver rub n buff (got Spanish copper RnB for screw heads, sling swivel and oil bottle). I really can't say enough how much effort, time and hard work Joel put in on this project (and still is) but it's paying off, the work that's coming off my printer is amazing. I got the easy part of the deal, I just load some files and hit play

Sup! Ed from the the good old U of K Just popped by because I've been helping berkal with his T-21 build, so maybe see some of you on that thread
