In progress. Saddle drum mounting phase 2

First small piece of saddle drum mounting. Movable

Small update after yesterday evening. Main body frame almost ready, today I'm starting with the details. @Vf2112: No, I still don't have the rubber eyepiece, will think about it later, maybe I'll find some good substitute for it.

First alpha version of main body front attached.

Barrel ready

Thanks Now I got all materials needed for the rest of this project, so I think it will be finished in about 2 weeks, maybe less.

Yesterday I got lucky. Bought original MG15 handle frame. Condition not mint, but after some work it should do.

Added some small details to the barrel. Nothing special, but project is slowly moving along

Here are mine. Stolla Wien type, left is 1957, right 1944 marked. Still need to remake belt loops and flaps ending.

It'll sure be. Thanks Just a few shots after putting first layer of undercoat.

Thanks alot. Ammo drum ready. Lowered ribs a bit. Overall 5 or 6 days of work.

Half the way to the end.

First round of casting. 6 rounds more awaiting Should be done in about 7 hours.

Yesterday I've prepared mold for ammo drum ribbing, now it's ready. Few hours of casting awaiting Mold ready.

Ammo drum almost done. Only ribbing missing, will cast it in resin starting tomorrow. Moving along slowly To be continued...

I used knee pads parts and self-adhesive silencing foam for computer towers. Fits perfectly. Still need to mount computer fans and voice system tho.

Another busy day with MG While I wait for missing parts for doppeltrommel details, I've made today snooperscope. Made of PVC mainly, glass taken from old Polish radiostation R-109, internally covered with crimson transparent paint. Visor is resin cast from... plastic bottle top part interior Perfect 1" size. Hope you'll like it. Still mising rubber eye guard. Any ideas? 1"diameter inside.

Thanks for first optimistic feedback As you can see it's not perfect, there's no laser-cut parts or so, everything is handmade, drawn and cut. But... I hope the result will be as good as I want it to be

Hi. I'm new to this forum, so hello to everyone Hopefully I'll soon join Polish Garrison of 501st Legion as a Sandtrooper. Waiting for the armor atm. This is my BlasTech RT-97C that I've started to build around a week ago. I plan to finish this project in about a month, maybe a little more. Depends on availability of optics. Hope you'll like it. Not much to show, for now its only barrel cooler, yesterday I've started to build Doppeltrommel magazine, so long it's 2 days of work on this piece. So... let's start.
