my_plague_666 Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 shame thats wood really. while it'll feel damn nice, it would be more realistic if it was decent plastic refinished to look like bakelite. Link to post Share on other sites
fr00b Posted July 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 shame thats wood really. while it'll feel damn nice, it would be more realistic if it was decent plastic refinished to look like bakelite. theres always the possibility of finishing wood to feel plastic-like, atm it's the best option.

my_plague_666 Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 i guess you're right, wood would be easier to shape IMO, and it'd have some heft to it, like real bakelite Link to post Share on other sites

my_plague_666 Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 any news from candyman on this? i can't wait to see how it turns out. Link to post Share on other sites
fr00b Posted August 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 Yep, we're just discussing the attachment: heres a rubbish diagram i sent him for you to ridicule in the mean time basically the current thinking is that until i get round to producing a leather cover, there won't be a great big chunk of the handguard cut away, i can do that myself when the time comes. Candyman himself is just going to make a couple of small neat holes, one in the bottom and one for a pin to fit through laterally. think i forgot to link this pic before: Plastic-look wood grip Link to post Share on other sites
fr00b Posted August 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 Well, we knew this man works fast already so: Attachment point one takes shape aaaand the second reciever (being built for another arnies member i believe) is coming along at a frightening pace too: russian weaponry fans will be pleased to hear that this one may be for an AKM instead of an AKSU, which in my opinion is an awesome idea http://img167.imageshack.us/img167/4631/bs1akmsmm5.jpg (reference pic) Link to post Share on other sites

fr00b Posted August 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 just out of interest, are you having the grenade sight attachment made as well? No. Perhaps at another time, i was leaning towards putting some other form of russian optic on the SU Link to post Share on other sites

fr00b Posted August 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Tada! This thread sure had some humble beginnings, looking back. Who'd have thought the end result would be this awesome? Although this was a 'commissioned' piece, this is all candyman, i can honestly take no credit whatsoever, due to being a lazy ignorant foo'. From the moment of introducing this idea to him, he showed surprising and genuine interest and passion. Hats off. Cheers, Fr00b. Link to post Share on other sites
