missingpieces Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 hello, everyone. first post...not that i havent stalked the site for a while. my FX / RTmod combo has finally been beaten on enough to where im just going to weather it. plus it gives me an excuse to buy some proper armor! anyway... i was curious if my build is acceptable, the blaster in the pics has only one coat of paint on it, hence the woodgrain and light spots. i also have a little more detail im adding to the bipod legs. the blaster breaks down into two pieces! ...looking forward to some opinions... 2 piece earlier attempt: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nico Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 i am no expert on the bfg`s, but that is one good looking weapon you have there! Cant wait to see it finished with weathering and all! Hopefully someone with the knowledge can aprove it/give you hints on what to fix (if anything at all!) Keep up the good work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6170 Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 1st of all Welcome! Hope to see many post from you... Your bfg looks like its going to be awesome when done, can't wait to see more pictures as you go along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trooper1 Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 I have to concur. This is a remarkable piece. You said this is from wood??? If so, you have some amazing skills in the craft. As for details? Lets see more after the weathering, but so far cannot find alot missing. I do notice that the conical disk is missing? Yes/No Maybe just cannot see in the pics. Then you will want your wire around your barrel (so it looks like it holding the heat sinks on) The last thing would be maybe, your action handle, to cycle loads. Still cant say enough. Wonderful piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

missingpieces Posted July 8, 2008 Author Share Posted July 8, 2008 Then you will want your wire around your barrel (so it looks like it holding the heat sinks on) the t-track is wired on thanks for the compliments everyone. as for skills, half of it is just having the right tools!

TD-5491 Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 This is one nice piece of art you got there bro. It's looks just like the one I just bought? Probably is the more I look at mine. Just a few different things. I need that box on the side of mine though. (isn't that a new MEPD requirement?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoCKo Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 definatly great work on that BFG! :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trooper1 Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 the t-track is wired on thanks for the compliments everyone. as for skills, half of it is just having the right tools! As I said before, this is a great piece, and I can tell, took a great deal of time. If you want the other items to be totally canon, go to this site. http://www.looksirdroids.com/replica_weapons2.html braksbuddys pics are here and show the details parts I listed. The wire (mechanix wire), box, and so on. The box I made myself from ABS plastic, and plastic welder. I have made a couple for some others here also.

TK7036 Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I always like to see fanmade stuff. To me they are personal interpretations of the real stuff, unique and interesting in each own way. I can see a lot of hard work has gone into yours and I truly respect you for that. My buddy has just got one and now I can't wait to see it! Thanks for sharing.

freakengine Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 I love scratch-built props and yours looks awesome! One hint - you may want to seal the wood with something before painting to hide the grain. I've used a product called mod podge that does the trick but I'm sure there are other good sealers out there too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I rubbed the body of my gun down with woodfiller and sanded the crap out of it. Its like bondo for wood. We make the stuff where I work, I like the stuff in the squeeze tube vs, the stuff in a can. Here's my baby in the works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimelius Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 I'm almost embarrassed to post my efforts, but here goes... ...put it down to recyling a broken hasbro E-11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD-5491 Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Congrat'z on a job well done from the supplies you used. It looks **** good man! The only thing I would change if it were mine is round the edges of the butt/stock a little and stain it so it looks more like the original MG-34. Time to strike fear into the hearts of those rebel scum's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

missingpieces Posted October 4, 2008 Author Share Posted October 4, 2008 Since I'm bored and taking pictures I though I'd throw some better pics of my scratchbuilt wood / PVC / metal DLT! I still need to find something better for the conical disk I mopped my kitchen floor just for these! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missingpieces Posted October 10, 2008 Author Share Posted October 10, 2008 I finally remembered my memory stick so I could get these build pics to my house. I know everyone loves to look at pictures online (instead of working :wink: ) This gives you an idea of what goes into these. It' a slideshow, click the thumbnail! <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
