Awesome!

Thats pretty cool! I like the look of the Lewis magazine, I wish they would have left it on for the film. You could use rare earth magnets so you could have it either way.

Looking good! Soon the MEPD will cover the Earth & weather everything that is clean.

Congratulations TD3321!

YES! That is so awesome!

We need someone that can do that. Takers?

That is looking great!

Yeah, its pretty terrible. Of course, if anyone is capable of & wants to handle and maintain a switch-over to Invisionboards from PhpBB I'd be more than happy to give them the job.

Whoa, nice!

Very cool!

Nice work John, that looks a lot different.

It will need 501st approval, and is already being discussed here.

Very cool, it looks like it turned out nicely! Its nice to see a solid replica of the MG15 come available. I've seen a partial kit or two and plenty of scratch builds but never a whole cast. Hopefully I can add one to my collection sometime!

Nice work, there's some subtle detail there that really makes the difference.

I don't think they are formed into the helmet, but inserted in the recess'. Its definitely not the screen-used Hovis, but looks like maybe they tried something else as an insert that was later scrapped.

Nice job man.

I think if you weather it in a similar fashion to your armor it will be good to go.

The "D-coil" appears to come out of the back end of the barrel where it meets the top side of the front of the receiver and goes under the rear-most ridge on the top of the barrel. The little tubes seem to come out of the middle (height-wise) of the forward ridge and reattach where the barrel diameter changes. For those I'd use a thick gauge wire. Any kind of pipe or tubing will be too large.

Weird! That does explain the dingy look of the material though.

I agree, the black thing looks like a thick coiled wire. Sort of like an old guitar cord, or maybe a round phone cord if they still exist. The other thing looks like a wire twisted into a loop on the end. Maybe they were preparing to dye Easter eggs.

Welcome bro!

Its painfully close, if that answers it. I am doing my best to get it going but over the past couple weeks and probably for a couple more I can't make any promises. I am trying to overcome one last fabrication issue with the arm strap and then the "dam will burst". Its not helping that I am in the process of packing and preparing for a move.

I'll be watching this for sure.

My friend Clark has an MG with a bakelite stock and its that typical bakelite brownish-black color. Some of it was solid black, but that color you are seeing is normal also. Here is a nice entry about the material http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bakelite

Very nice bucket, very shiny too!
