DesertRat Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share Posted January 30, 2014 Hey All so a small update Ive slowly put this together, just making sure its all going my way. And here's where it stands so far. Sorry for the pic quality, had to use my mobile phone as the wife was MIA this evening at friends with the good camera.... Will be doing the scope rail this weekend, plus I need to get so slightly longer bolts to help support the magazine to stay firmly on the body instead of relying on just the epoxy glue... anyways...moving along.... thanks for looking Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesertRat Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share Posted January 30, 2014 and another two...again sorry for the bad quality pics (all on a poxy mobile) moving along Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesertRat Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share Posted February 1, 2014 Update time, started on my scope rail last night, will finsih today as it was too late to start drilling cheers Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesertRat Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 some more updates.... Ive started drilling out the hole in the stock at the front, just need to sharpen the edges back now on that but Im pleased with the progress so far..... The scope rail was interesting to do.....especially the 'L' for the front hole, I've bent it back on itself for more tension,,,feels solid....and removes nice and easy as well, ready to paint.... I've currently run out of epoxy resin glue so thats on the cards this week as wll as proper screws with a flat base for the scope to keep that tidy, for now, I have temp screws in there at the moment.

DesertRat Posted March 16, 2014 Author Share Posted March 16, 2014 Thanks Jason Its amzing how different a few coats of primer have made. Its also a godsend as well because its show a few areas that need a little lovin' so,Im just adding some extra modelling putty to act as 'welds' around the magazine housing where it attaches to the body of the gun and also just filling some small areas where the glue has quite reached. Then a bit of a sand down once thats set and another coat of primer then its off to be coated in silver..... will post more once Im happy with the next few model tweaks...

DesertRat Posted March 22, 2014 Author Share Posted March 22, 2014 update time, spent the afternoon avoiding the showers and the windy conditions. Managed to get the body done in its 'metal' jacket paint job. I need to sand down the cap at the rear as its a bit pitted for my taste....hopefully do that tomorrow. Then its on to the brassy undercoat for the counter and the scope..... cheers J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cantina Craig Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Looking great Jay, as with all the the bits I've seen on your build so far mate. You're going to make an awesome Sandie :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felice Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Nice! But why did you colored the whole hengstler? The box is a plastic box so you don't need to make it gold;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesertRat Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 Hey Felix its fine for now, its not finished...I have plenty of references...the final look is the important bit. cheers Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
