pandatrooper Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Looking great so far! the cross section support is a good idea. I had considered the same with mine but I needed room for electronics. By the way, as a prop builder and costume builder, I really do appreciate it when people give shout outs / credit to those that put in the time to help others. Thank you!

Bigdane Posted June 28, 2011 Author Share Posted June 28, 2011 Its now time too make the oil conuntainer holdercap (or what ever it called) i made this out off some plumming pipe and 2 coins off the lokal currency becaus they have the carvings on the side whitch i was lokking fore, and just a matter off glueing it togher. and fore the hole in the stock i jused a smal 4,5 mm. dril bit just too make a center hole , and followed it up whit a 22 mm. Notice it might be nesecerry too clamp 2 pices of wood on other side off the hole, manly fore stability becaus the drill is close too the edges and after the process test fitting. plz. notice that i have roughly sanded the stock before i began drilling (not done yet) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigdane Posted June 29, 2011 Author Share Posted June 29, 2011 I have decidet that i want a rearend cap on the stock, so i cut out a rough piece from ABS plate an drilled too 3,5 mm holes and mounted then on the stock, but as you can se it doesent follow the curves off the stock. so i used a hairdryer and heated the plate and bend it into shape (i will sand it later whit the stock) this is how it looks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigdane Posted July 1, 2011 Author Share Posted July 1, 2011 i want a strip off coiled wire on my barrel, so i took some cobber wire and rolled around a small stick until i got the lengh i felt was ok. and then i clamped it at one end and drilled a snug hole in the pipe were i wanted it placed. so its looks something like this here it will be placed wenn the barrel is painted.

Bigdane Posted July 1, 2011 Author Share Posted July 1, 2011 and now more work on the stock. i have mounted the "drum plate" whit normal glue and skrewed it in place (easy job), too finnish it off, i made the drum end cap and bondoed it so that it flows natual whit the rest off the handle (not so easy) the red arrow marks the end cap.

Bigdane Posted July 1, 2011 Author Share Posted July 1, 2011 Detailing the stock. i cut out 2 brakets from some old scap iron, and mark them on the wood section. and i forgot too mention be sure too drill a hole fore your wireing if you wish too add sound later.(look at the red arrow) and then its "only" a matter off cutting out wood section, and lock them in place 2 screws. Next step: prepping and painting the stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
