Beat me to it! Congratulations. In the interim, I'm going to promote you to XO, so you'll have access to the Admin CP. We'll spend the next week or so going over all the particulars.
Once again, congratulations!
for the MG-34?
The disks can be found in Home Depot. Look for some small washer/rubber thingies. The box can be built up with styrene. It has to be custom cut and fitted to whichever MG-34 you have, be it a Hyperfirm or scratch build.
You live in a warm climate. Those stores only stock them to cover faucets that might freeze. Every time I go to Home Depot I must see hundreds of these things, cheap, too... like $2 or $3. Shipping is more expensive.
Nope, but adding that little decal gives it some real character. I love it.
John Sale also mocked up a bunch of those that looked wonderful. Not sure if there's a link around or not.
How interesting! Never heard of it, it looks like an FX but with cues from the screen used stuff. I'd love to see what it looks like assembled and worn.
What about the helmet?
Three of these are in fact real weapons. In the lower corner there's a M4 lower that I'm slowly building up. You could say I've moved from building costumes to building AR-15 style rifles. Fun!
There's also two Clone blasters and a Rebel Endor rifle that was actually a lot of fun to build up last Summer.
