Baddbaz Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 Could of been worse . Could have been a nightmare , and you brought a just BB guns l85 springer ! At least you wouldn't need the glow in the dark paint then .... Link to post Share on other sites
ollie_ty Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 I think that was my dream Stuey, but it never came into fruition. I used the paint on my MP9 front sight post though, until I drilled tritium inserts into it. Link to post Share on other sites

shmook Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 Baddbaz, thanks for the help! You've talked me out of it after all that, which probably has saved me a load of hassle. I shall look for a clean one now... And probably end up with a diesel passat Link to post Share on other sites

FireKnife Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 What kinda thing you thinking? Modern or retro? The grips I got from Mike are really nice - Kinda hard but soft rubber wraparounds with Delta Elite logos, not bad for £15. Unless you want some NightWarrior grips, which these'll be replacing? I did wonder how those Delta grips fitted. Might be an idea to get some now then when the TM Nickel Series 70 is out combine the two for a two tone look with those grips (one can dream). As for the Night Warrior grips I find them a bit chunky, I like my weapons slim and tall, like my ladies . I believe that's known as The Magpie Response. Just be glad it isn't the Middle Aged Crisis or they would have bought a Porsche, moar gunz and some viagra to go with it . Could of been worse . Could have been a nightmare , and you brought a just BB guns l85 springer ! At least you wouldn't need the glow in the dark paint then .... Oddly that sort of happened to me. I actually dreamt I bought a new 1911 from Zero One and when it turned up they had done the worst two tone job ever on it. This was actually my dream . 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites

The Delta grips are actually really nice - Solid, but squishy (innuendo, etc) and not particularly thick. They also look really nice and they're a nice texture, plus the wraparound on the front prevents the checkering from abrading my soft desk hands Link to post Share on other sites
Im going space Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 they need more wood. a 1911 isnt really a 1911 without wood. on a side note, my smile came from the fact that my MAG Mids now work in my UAR Link to post Share on other sites

I think I can get away with the grips on mine though. Mostly the A1 grips, but their is a set of the digi-camo Foliage Warrior ones, not as they look nice but because they feel good.

Mike_West Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 So I got some random junk for my photoshoot getups, which may actually be useful if we ever get to doing any filmsim/LARP weekender (too many walts over here and part of them has already moved to UK, feel warned ). Sure, the "CYBER NINJA SWORD" is as dull as a politician, handle is made out of something that was most probably a drawstring for trackies, a vinyl door curtain strip and cardboard and the sheath is a mistake, but at least I have something to do and the only problematic part would be a kydex sheet that is two feet wide. Also, my new CPU is working fine. Link to post Share on other sites

Yay for working mags! Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 sacked mine for the green and black wooden ones I must admit fancy wood grips don't do it for me. I like my 1911s lookin a bit classic a military. Hence why my 1911s are black with faux wood and the odd little stainless bits . 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites

Cannonfodder80 Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 Agreed, I went there years ago and would love to go back On a related note I did spend yesterday afternoon at the RAF museum in Hendon. Had to leave early as the little one was getting restless but it was still a good day out. It's also free entry which is always a bonus Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 Well, I went to a fancy dress party last night, and had the best costume, which made me happy! Especially as I made it myself, instead of hiring/buying like everyone else Link to post Share on other sites
Tinkerton Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 ahh, but what did you go as? and also, pics Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 Oh, you twisted my arm! I went as an astronaut, loosely based on the apollo era. Will add pics in a sec with a cheeky edit, need to upload them to photobucket first! Edit, pics! The suit I am happy with, was around £3 for a white boiler suit on ebay. i originally got it for a snow ghillie for airsoft! The hose connectors are plastic tank connectors from B&Q, with metallic spray paint. Mission patches are fabric glued onto paper and run through a normal inkjet printer. Neck ring was from plastic buckets from B&Q I got free. They were used to hold chain in, and I asked for a couple of empty ones. Blue fabric (and a lot of the white) was bed linen from tesco. Cheaper then buying by the yard at hobbycraft. I ran out of time for the helmet. Was going to vac form one, fibreglass helm itself, and vac form the 2 visors (gold and clear). Got the acrylic for it and fibreglass, but as said, ran out of time... So, bought 2 six quid bins from wilkinsons, glued/fibreglassed the 2 dome tops together, cut the face out, epoxied the 2 inner rolling lids together and sprayed them gold. Can't see through it, but looks ok for 3 hours work. I will come back to it, as I want it to be a lot better. I glued white fabric to the outside to alter the spherical shape, and to mimic the original a bit, but it was a rush job to get it done for that night. Gloves were 99p on eBay, I stitched gauntlets onto them. Boots were also 99p on eBay, they are snow boots. Also, my mission patch is from apollo 18, as I like the film, and my surname is on it! All in, including paint, it cost around £40 to make I think, but took some time. Hot glue was my friend! I also made a roman soldier outfit for the last one I went to, including handmade steel chest armour... Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Damn that is a fantastic looking costume. And 90% of that is due to it being home-made. For Halloween and fancy dress me and the better half go as 1920's-1930's era gangster and cabaret girl. Too bad I can't find the pics taken of us from the bars website that we were at .
