This thing is about to look a whole lot less like a giant water pistol





Now to do the other set.

[FHC]

Here's a shot of them together. The parts are not painted it just happens that I used two different color primers and they happened to be close to what it should like.



The butt pieces are now cleaned up and ready for primer.

Ha ha, You said butt.
Seriously though, those are really starting to take shape. Just watching your progress is giving me the prop bug.

I figured out what was causing my paint problems and since then I have been able to move on. Live and learn. I was using a new paint brush to knock off all the tiny pieces of steel wool. That brush must have had something on it. once I figured it out I was like duh or course it would. After one more sanding I resprayed everthing one more time. I must say the Gray on these bodies may be too shiny now!!

I got the stocks painted and the polls that run out to them as well.



After they dried I put one of the Rifles together



Then I did the other one



Now it's just a matter of getting the little pieces attached. Won't be long now!

[JMW326]

Awesome. Those look great. Thanks for sharing.

[knightone]

Really coming along nicely!

Sweeeeet, I would love to have one of those. I would get a jumpsuit sling some paint on it and go full MACO!!

I got to work on this some today and I believe that I am going to finish one and then finish the other due to all the small pieces.

If I can, for bigger pieces, I like to remove some of the paint so that I get a resin to resin bond



Some parts on



Some more parts on.



It sure can be tough to wait for the JB Weld to dry so I can work on the other side.

Hey are you going to be painting the purple and orange bits, or leave them like that, The pattern doesnt quite match what I would expect it to be, perhaps some adjustment is required.
Just kidding, nice job. It looks amazing, well after the clips are taken off...

[FHC]

I got a bit more done today before I had to stop.



Still missing one piece on this side and it will be done

^Lookin GOOOD there Mark.

Thats a really nice looking rifle. It looks much cooler than the WNMHGB phaser rifle that Kirk had. I wish i had a real one of those instead of the Ruger .223 caliber Mini-14 rifle i carry on occasion at my job.

[FHC]

Well here it is. I'm going to be sad to part with this one but hey it's a good thing I have two. I just got to finish the other one now. This one goes up on Ebay sometime around Tuesday I would guess.

[pickard]
