Thats the most realistic wood effect i've seen! TM should use it on their ak's. I see what you mean now- I know of bakelite, but this is the first time i've handled it. cheers, matt

Angola? No- Congo/Biafra, 1964 onwards; Mike Hoare's lot (5 Commando) -Matt

I'm going to put mid-cap internals in, but I havn't got any yet. I do have one steel mag I converted; it's hard work, but it can be done and the results are great. You can use any nmag internals, but hi-caps are more complicated than mid or lo cops, as you have to cut a slot in the magazine plate. I used grim's guide: http://www.arniesairsoft.co.uk/forums/inde...041&hl=grim good luck, matt

Get some "bakelite" ones.... I was hacking one up today, it was dead easy. Much to my surprise, it was made of resin coated plywood! No wonder they're wood "effect". I put it on my akms , and it looks the chunkies. -matt

Seewulfehornblower, can you please send me you're email adress? The Pm system won't let me send you one, so sorry for having to post that here. -matt

My latest 1967 congo merc impression, getting pretty accurate too: posted this in the merc section, but I think it's relevant here too. -matt

My team in our og's on our first ever skirmish: 60's mercs, but lacking a lot of the correct equipment at that point. I'm on the left. -matt

In ym epxerience, I find if you are using flash, a cloth background (i.e camo jacket) will absorb a lot of excess light, getting less shine in the photo, as will taking the photo from further away and using optical zoom, so the light is less concentrated. If you can, take your pics outside in broad daylight, and again use a background (outside, trees, grass etc are all good). cheers, matt

Stage two of my AKMS, now with the RMW kit installed: The bits left to do are the sight block, the gas tube and front sight. Does anyone sell AKM front sights/gas blocks by themselves? cheers, matt

Mr Darcy: Thats his gun, not mine btw -matt

My custom built Sterling L2a3 (not made by me i'm afraid): Took about a year and a half to get built, made by Trapper industries then finished by Andy Saville- he made it work reliably and made the curved mag. I'm kind of tempted to sell this- what sort of capital would people be willing to pay for it? matt

Heres the work so far on my AKMS- Cyma Ak47 Real Steel wood handguards converted real steel magazine ACM ribbed receiver cover, flash suppressor (needs a little tlc) and acm bakelite grip Botched cyma recever- the stock fell off on the first skirmish and I made a bad job of filling the holes and trying to convert the receiver to the akm type. Next step is an RMW akms receiver/stock set, followed by RS gas block and front sight, then finally g&p metal sight block. -matt

U.S Army opens ACU mine in orthern Iraq.

"Chinese ICBM project makes a promising start"

There all on image shack- i'll resize next time I upload any -matt

cheers, and i'd like to add I don't usually look that psychotic; as my boss said, it's the rakish angle of my beret -matt

Alan, SAS (security advisory service) merc, Angola 1976: Nick, same: Myself, 5 commando, 1964: -matt

Started weaterinf my a&k minimi this evening, I think it looks okay, but needs a little more work in some places: do you think the lkeft hand side needs more sanding? also, does the stock look unrealistic? I suppose if I had really bad stubble it wouldn't be too bad also, my waethered m9 with home made wood grips: cheers, matt

my lot, executive incomes, based on 60's south african mercenaries: (i'm on the far left in the lizard shirt) cheers matt

heres some of my team losing, as the site owner put it, our "airsoft virginity" in may: what our team is supposed to look like: and me posing

pics of Exeecutive Incomes at our first skirmish. There are more of us, we were just under-strength that day. Mercenary team again, based on southern african stuff from the 70's. http://www.freewebs.com/executiveincomesairsoft/HPIM1144.JPG http://www.freewebs.com/executiveincomesai...Pictures016.jpg

Executive incomes- we've had these patches made, this is the best pic. we're based on Mercenaries from the 60's and 70's in Southern Africa. http://www.freewebs.com/executiveincomesairsoft/finsihed.JPG
