Killbucket Posted August 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 Just got a TON of CAD work accomplished. I now have got all my airsoft patterns converted to DOWNLOADABLE, so I no longer have to mail them, and people no longer have to WAIT for them...WHEW! Link to post Share on other sites
Killbucket Posted August 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Sliding off topic for a day...Punisher Grilles! Vee cutter making the outlines. Then a .250" dia. single-flute cutter does the rest. Here's the ShopBot doing these up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhiW1nSUEKI Then some black, walnut paint, and some dry-brushing. I wanted them to look like they were laser-cut from old manhole covers or something. Stainless hardware will hold them on, after I paint the stock grille mesh black. Link to post Share on other sites

Unit 318 Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 You should seal under the rail on the stock to make it flush and strealined with the stock. Link to post Share on other sites

beta08 Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 I think it would be neat if you made a rail mountable, adjustable cheek rest instead of using a rail cover (which is a brilliant idea to begin with). Link to post Share on other sites

Gooberz Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 Haven't seen much from you lately, and you've disappeared from a few forums (ASR). What's been in the works? Link to post Share on other sites

Killbucket Posted August 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 Thanks! I'm So happy to still have this beauty! Got the main body dry-brushed today: More pics HERE: Warning: image-heavy! Link to post Share on other sites
T0p Sp!N Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 Nice. How'd you make that carry handle? A shovel handle? It really gives the gun an overall balanced steampunk feel. :thumbs-up: -T.S. Link to post Share on other sites
Killbucket Posted August 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 The wood handle was made by Ottmar's Wood products, who makes actual M2 gun grips. The handle mount is thick-wall PVC, and is very rigid. I heat-formed the bends in it. Link to post Share on other sites

HardCoil Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 This is the craziest post ever, great job man! What kind of textured paint are you using? Is it vht wrinkle paint, and if so how do you go about curing it? Link to post Share on other sites
Killbucket Posted September 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 Thanks for the kick. I took pics of this LAST WEEK as it is now...work on the site has consumed every waking moment, and sapped my image-processing energy...that, and a inner mounts page I'd promised to put up like two days ago... The poor hapless SPR has been re-painted many times. First, it was the stock black metal rifle from D-Boys. Then, it got a hot-melt glue paintjob: Then, I got bored, and gave it a funky camo: After that, a SciFi Night Camo: And that was all enamel over Bulldog Adhesion Promoter- it's there to STAY... So when I started doing the five different colors of "wash" over it (so far), including simulated flash damage, bloodstains, etc., the paint started to buckle up. a good thing in this case. The Secret was just walking away for several days while it completely dried out( and the aforementioned web-smithing done to keep my mind and fingers off the softened coatings).
