Daetrin Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 You can always troop as a sandy with an E-11. I've done it numerous times, esp. on a long troop where there is multiple sandies. We'll have one E-11 in the group and trade it around. Even a HF Lewis gets heavy after a while. HF MG-34's do show up from time to time, seems perhaps one every 4-6 weeks. You just need to be willing to part with some serious cash when they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes. anoher Cushman Paintball victim like me. We really ought to get together and make some kind of effort to warn people away from Cushman, and prevent them from being ripped off like the rest of us have.

tk-d Posted December 12, 2006 Author Share Posted December 12, 2006 Agree on that. I wouldn't even use it to prop my door open. Thats why I have nothing but full on respect for the people on here who go all out to try to make authentic props. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll have one E-11 in the group and trade it around. Even a HF Lewis gets heavy after a while. i left my mg-15 behind at my last troop, and went with the HF E-11 instead. in the new year, i'm hoping to get an MG-34 from the same folks that made the E-11. they mentioned that they will be selling stuff on ebay in the coming weeks, as things are ready to ship. one of my garrison-mates just got his E-11 that way, and it arrived in a matter of days.

butcherbird Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 I do know that the Master for the new Hyper-Firm MG-34 is ready for molding. beyond that, I can't say when it will be available Not even a clue? a wild guess? a shot in the dark? I'm desperate for a Hyperfirm MG-34. It's the last piece I need to complete my Gino sandy (with SB/MH pack). If anyone has inside info on the availability of the new Hyperfirm guns please PM me. -Todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boingo Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 You could always try making an MG34 prop of your own. < I've been badly bogged down on mine, because I am trying to make mine as accurate as possible, and good solid measurements are pretty much non existant. Since I am making mine as a WWII prop , and as a showpiece (not for trooping), I am being extremely picky. Check out http://www.doomlegends.com/deimwolf/mg34model.html if you want a good laugh at my seemingly futile progress. >> I have seen a few pages with instructions on how to make a good basic MG34. Unfortunately, I do not have a link to any of these sites at the moment. Perhaps somebody would be nice enough to post a link or two, if he knows where these are. As an alternative, I know I saw a site where a fellow made an extremely precise replica of a Sterling submachine gun, which he then used to make an excellent standard trooper blaster. Like the prop MG34s, I do not have a link. Hopefully, somebody else does, and will be nice enough to post it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motman241 Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Given the unlimited resources on the internet, you can always do what I did - research it, then build your own. Find out how long the MG34 is. Then take a really nice picture of one, and blow it up to that full size. Print it. Trace it onto your wood. That's a great start. And that's how I made this tutorial: http://www.balkindustries.com/tbarber/DLT19tutorial.jpg http://www.balkindustries.com/tbarber/D ... rial2a.gif http://www.balkindustries.com/tbarber/D ... rial2b.gif Using these takes the research and hard work out. I did the work for you. Enjoy. I keep saying this (and I am blue in the face) This blaster cost about $30 (and that assuming you have no wood or PVC around the house), and weighs 3lbs. This MG34 even breaks down into two parts for easy storage in your trooper tub. For weight/cost/accuracy, it does not get better than this. I didn't make mine super detailed, but I was in a rush, and made a several at once. You can make these as plain or detailed as you'd like.

Boingo Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 *Believe me*. I've researched exhaustively, and my collection of reference photos is extensive (280+ and growing). I am just very very picky, almost to the point of compulsion. Basically, if I can't get this thing to look like it just rolled of the line at Mauser Werke, I simply won't be happy. That's just the kind of guy I am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butcherbird Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Well I just noticed this little quote while surfing an auction on ebay: "Hyperfirm MG-34 v2 available after January 1 2007!!" Happy new year indeed. -Todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motman241 Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 I'm just trying to help. If detail to the point of madness is your thing, then you probably won't be happy with anything other than the real thing. Not very practicle to troop with, though, or legal. I'm not gonna try to knock the hyperfirms, either, but I just don't see the benefit. They don't fit into an armor tub, they don't break down, they weigh more than 3lbs, and they cost a ton more than $30. I don't get it. Some people buy, some people build. And the world goes around.

SethB6025 Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 If you're in Canada you can get an MG34 (new built, semi-auto) for around $1000 if memory serves. A de-milled WW2 era/antique MG34 goes for around the same. If you're looking for a wall-hanger thats the way I would go. For trooping & and replica accuracy, I'd hold out for a hyperfirm, or maybe one of Clutch's resin guns. If you want anything under a few hundred dollars, you're going to have to build it. Tom's tutorial is a great guideline, but if you're a rivet-counter (not a bad thing ) its going to be hard to go from scratch. With that said, your progress so far is very impressive!
