nick.black Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Ok so I thought I should document the other thing I am currently working on, which is my Bapty E-11. From a doopydoos resin kit here are some of the small updates I have made so far. Tiny screws added to where the resin ones were originally. New real screws added on the front And I also added the real screws to the cylinders as well Front And back Only a small sample but it's a start so far anyway. I'll keep you updated as I go along Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felice Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Nice details my friend! I can't wait to see more......:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick.black Posted July 3, 2015 Author Share Posted July 3, 2015 Ok so I finished my scope now. Made all the necessary changes to make it an M38 from 1942. I'm quite happy with the results, and I've even used some real scope lenses in it after hollowing the whole thing out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick.black Posted July 6, 2015 Author Share Posted July 6, 2015 Final finishing touches to the scope today. Shame it says 1943 and not 42 but hey I can live with that. Bit of action with my kids wax crayons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djrue Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Very nice! Did you paint the scope gold first then black over it to achieve the weathering? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick.black Posted July 28, 2015 Author Share Posted July 28, 2015 Yes indeed mate it was actually brass painted and then used some candle wax painted on in key places before the black. Then scraped off the wax and did a bit more scraping around the edges et voila!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Which approach did you use to hollow the scope out? Drilling first and then dremeling (is that a word ;-) ) ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headcount Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Amazing work, Nick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick.black Posted July 28, 2015 Author Share Posted July 28, 2015 I cut the front and rear off the scope and then drilled and dremelled until I could see all the way through (from a particular angle). Then reattached the front and rear and bondoed the gaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strider Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Nice job, bro. Particularly on the scope and the counter, that must have taken some effort Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick.black Posted September 7, 2015 Author Share Posted September 7, 2015 Not too much. Just an eye for detail I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
