Well done! Looks the business!

Nice! Keep those parts a movin'! Jim

As a last resort, you can use the green limo tint film, and apply that to a clear acrylic sheet or even the comon face shield.

Update: 4-April-2007: Project is still in the works. 90% done on the master pattern. Only minor tweaks, and it's off to the silicone. Jim

WOW Tony! Those blasters are really looking great! BTW, you have a PM! Jim

Possible tiny run of these as kits, but still too early to know for sure. Price, will be very affordable, just enough to cover material costs. Availability, not sure yet, but I'll keep everyone updated. So far it looks like a lightweight option, made from the same resin the govt. uses for dummy training weapons. In black!

Well, my new years resolution is to get the Lewis Gun project finished. I've been so busy with other projects, this one just kept getting pused back. No more. I hope to have the prototype sent to Tony for inspection in a few weeks. Mold masters are now primed, filled and sanded. More details added, and an assembly of the individual parts has been done. Stay tuned. Jim

I just saw an ad in the Shotgun News, that Catco has some 75 parts kits still available. $500 per kit, but thats about as real as it gets. I thought these were long gone. FWIW Jim

I really need to get off my butt and get a pack done. Just too darm many projects going on, I can't seem to get all of them done in a timely manner. Soon I hope!

Here are some E-11's I made for a fan film: and a shot of the 'work in progress' T-21:

Deactivated sterlings 4 or 5 years ago were about $300. Long since dried up, and demand has caused the price to go up. IMA had them and so did cheaper than dirt. Both were 'lumpy' Jim

In the South, there is a product used to repel mosquitos. It comes in a coil, and I think is to be burned like citronella. I've seen guys use this. Me, I'm planning to vacuum form the coil, if I ever get the time . Jim

I use one of those 'multi-bits' The kind that looks like a cone. Works great.

off the top of my head, they are 6.5in. wide, by 8.75in. tall. Deep is not a consideration because it's just the face. The sides need to be built up using sheet plastic. As a vac-former, I think you know how difficult it would be to free a square mold. Thanks for those dimensions. Yes a square box would be a nightmare, but I am currious, how deep the radio box is suppose to be? Jim

What dimensions are you going with on these radio boxes? Width, depth and height? Jim
