Felice Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Hi folks, I'm think 1 year about it to build a real Tunisia Bapty Blaster out of a Sterling. I was thinking how i can manage the grip installation. Now i have some ideas and here it is: the WIP The part list: - Sterling - Hengstler Eagle Counter - M38 from 1942 - power cells and metal scope rail from Andy - real sized t-tracks - real Sterling magazine with wooden block - aluminium grip - just a little bit of green stuff - and JOY!! Started today and here are some pictures.... Finished:-)))))))) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felice Posted April 23, 2015 Author Share Posted April 23, 2015 Alright...today i will start with the grip, for me the most difficult part. the alu grip is massive and i will need the Sterling framework for a better stability. But i will train with a doopy grip some pics tonight..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felice Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share Posted April 27, 2015 Some Progress............... Prototyping with a doopy grip marked the line where the Sterling Frame has to be positioned Alright, after the attempt to drill a hole into the doopy grip i decided to to another way. Why? the doopy grip is too thin an can break:-( and i did not had the right Tools to make this hole fitting to the Sterling Frame. And i had to make the same procedure with the massive Aluminium grip....no way! I don't think that Bapty&Co installed the grip like i planed. So i had to make a decision..... Opened a second beer That's it:-)))))) And i finished the grip The next step is to prepare the Sterling for the grip Installation AND to cut off the back end:-) Cheers, Felix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felice Posted June 23, 2015 Author Share Posted June 23, 2015 Thanks Brothers!! And here are some updates.....the grip installation and the filling of the rear sight. We start with some drawings:-) For the rigger guard i will use 10mm steel, not Aluminium. And here is the result... not perfect but i love it:-) And now the rear sight (for both i used a special epoxyd resin particular for metal; in the past i used green stuff) Just a little bit of sanding and this chapter is finished:-) And yes: i have to paint the whole blaster....
