[My RT-97C]

Been busy for last few days, but I'm back with some new stuff.

First stage of Enfield No. 32 MkII scope. As usual, made of PVC tubes.

[Any high quality mg15 references?]

This link is a bad one:

A good place is this forum:

Japanese MG15 horribly differs from original german one.

[My RT-97C]

Hopefully it will take week or two more till the Grande Finale

Today I'm takin day-off, I sometimes need a beer or "two" just to stay normal

[My RT-97C]

Bakelite rear cover ready.

To be continued...

[My RT-97C]

Not very spectacular view, but still.

Saddle drum mounting attached. Holes on the sides of the main body are due the drum width, and will be covered.

[My RT-97C]

In progress.

Saddle drum mounting phase 2

[My RT-97C]

First small piece of saddle drum mounting. Movable

[My RT-97C]

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.

[My RT-97C]

First alpha version of main body front attached.

[My RT-97C]

Barrel ready

[My RT-97C]

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.

[My RT-97C]

Yesterday I got lucky.

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

[My RT-97C]

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

[Pouch Review Thread - Post Your Pouch Pics Here!]

Here are mine. Stolla Wien type, left is 1957, right 1944 marked.

Still need to remake belt loops and flaps ending.

[My RT-97C]

I most certainly hope this is the standard you set for the entire blaster

It'll sure be. Thanks

Just a few shots after putting first layer of undercoat.

[My RT-97C]

Thanks alot.

Ammo drum ready. Lowered ribs a bit.

Overall 5 or 6 days of work.

[My RT-97C]

Half the way to the end.

[My RT-97C]

First round of casting. 6 rounds more awaiting

Should be done in about 7 hours.

[My RT-97C]

Yesterday I've prepared mold for ammo drum ribbing, now it's ready.

Few hours of casting awaiting

Mold ready.

[My RT-97C]

Ammo drum almost done.

Only ribbing missing, will cast it in resin starting tomorrow.

Moving along slowly

To be continued...

[Helmet Lining]

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.

[My RT-97C]

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.

[My RT-97C]

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

[My RT-97C]

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.
