Hi, my name is Juan and I am addicted to buying Tupperware online. And searching (not buying yet) vintage radios and canisters. Saludos.
LOL

The best part is my wife knows I'm buying parts for my backpack but she doesn't know what I'm buying. That means when my pitcher and pudding cups come in I get to jump up and down like one of my kids at Christmas in front of her. It will be a test of her commitment to this marriage. 😁

I just baught pudding cups for Christ sake!
-
Because I'm on eBay right now searching and buying vintage tupperware pieces and I'm kind of excited about it.
Going TD has turned me into my grandmother...

There is always something else you can do but I think as far as my receiver plate is concerned I'm done modeling it.
Next up to see how it prints out!

...and another update:

Thanks Dutchy.
This is an update on that:
-
So I've been pretty unhappy with how my receiver plate has been turning out. Well it turns out that my local library has a maker space with a 3D printer so I've decided to try modeling a receiver plate on my computer and then print it out as a prototype to cast (the plastic that it uses to print can't stand up to more than 140 F so it would make sense to get it into a different materiel since the interior of my car runs that high in the summer).
I've got about 2/3 of it modeled. What do you guys think so far?
-
No but I'm getting my kit in February/March so I'm interested to see it done!
-
Here it is. Odd that he announced it on Facebook and not here but cool enough.

congrats again brother!
-
Well congratulations!

OK I missed something. How do you guys know who the winner is? I don't see the announcement.

5 isn't too high!

4 and a bit poor...

That makes sense. Well I'll probably stick to this one for now and maybe order a better one when I go for swat. I really do like the weathering on this one though.
-
Thanks! I've been slowly working on this sucker since the beginning of summer. I'm in the middle of some projects where I'm getting used to using bondo then I'll probably start working on the gun again.
Those look great btw!
-
I knew about the stitching. I see what your saying about the squared off crease on the flap though. It looks like the same pattern was used. I wonder if that's because it's a thicker leather or something? Thanks!
-
OK so I've got some more work done. I'm not incredibly happy with the way my receiver plate is coming out but I still have a ton of bondo-ing to do.
I've got some wood staining done, made a pho brass butt plate, cut the frame of the rear sight out, put some soft details on the receiver plate, put on the "cooling" tubes, put a magazine receiver on, put an original Lewis gas regulator key on the bottom of the barrel, and an original Enfield Sling swivel on the butt stock.
Been a productive weekend all and all.

It's what I'm working on as well right now.
