FINISHED MY LEWIS!


Recommended Posts

Yes, it's a hyperfirm. The detail is really crisp. You can even

see the stamped lettering of the manufaturer.

Nice! Is that a Hyperfirm? I love the detail on the barrel shroud, you can see the grooves.

Pretty, very nice vork , Is it a resinous cast?

The Hyperfirms are cast from real de-commisioned weapons, they use a resin plastic that has rubber content in it so they're great for trooping. Light weight too. They do very good work, very detailed!

Looks awesome!reminds me when my Lewis came-it was like Christmas morning!To second Sot's question,What wire did you use? The Hyperfirm is great for trooping because it feels like it is unbreakable. Adios,Dave

I used some copper wire I got at Home depot. It's ground wire they sell by the foot in the electrical section.

I think its about 1/8" thick.

Awesome work on your T-21! What did you use for the wire that is in between the drain pipe and the sling?

I used the home depot drain pipe for the ribbing and I used some sheet styrene for the part that wraps around the barrel in front of the drain pipe.

The wire is copper ground wire from the depot.

Tim

would love to know what you did/used to make the modifications, please.

Your T-21 is one of the best i have seen, i got a sci-fire T-21 my self...

But i need to add the groove tube, and metal wire barrel holder like on yours.

Could you please explain what you did to make it in step 1, 2, 3 etc...

And take some close ups, i would like to add the same detail on mine.

(did your screw the screws directly into the gun/add glue in the hold before, so it don´t drop out, and damage the gun etc..)

Heres mine so far:

Ok, Heres some more detailed pix of my T21 including descriptions of my build.

Tim

Heres looking at the bottom of the gun showing the drain pipe. The drain pipe does not make it around

the diameter of the gun, so you'll have a gap.

I use a piece of sheet styrene for the thing in front of the ribbing. I think it's 2" wide and long enough to wrap around the barrel. You

can see in this photo that I slid about 1/4" of it under the drain pipe. I then took 1/4" wide strip styrene to do the lips on the end and up against the drain pipe.

The wire is copper ground wire from Home depot. I drilled for the screws and coated them with E6000.

To hold the wire down where it pushes up against the sling I slipped one of the pieces from my snaps over a screw.

And heres a picture of what I used for my sling mount. It's one of my ends from my backpack straps. I put a bolt through it with some washers, held in place with E6000.
