Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 200 - SE5a Build 09-Dec-15 16:16 Views : 455 Cutting up some small accessories to the stock portion of the gun. Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 200 - SE5a Build 09-Dec-15 16:12 Views : 395 Stock of the gun. The hole is when I accidentally pushed the pin too far in my attempts to simulate rivets. this is okay, since this part will be hidden. I apologize for the slightly blurry image. Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 200 - SE5a Build 09-Dec-15 16:07 Views : 425 Using my best guess (eyeballing), I figured the stock to the gun would be about j"just so big" and cut a block of balsa wood. Used left over plastic cut and scored to shape the stock. Then used a pin to push out some rivets. Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 200 - SE5a Build 09-Dec-15 15:59 Views : 403 Small front end was made from tubular strips of plastic cut down short. Used a pin to help located the holes followed by using a pin vise.

Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 200 - SE5a Build 09-Dec-15 15:55 Views : 419 Super glued each strip until the whole barrel was covered. Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 200 - SE5a Build 09-Dec-15 15:54 Views : 379 To simulate the long grooves on the main barrel, I cut short strips of .060" half-round plastic strips. The chose of thickness of the strips was purely arbitrary as it "looked just about right." Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 200 - SE5a Build 09-Dec-15 15:49 Views : 392 The tape was wrapped as many times necessary to achieve the desired thickness. In this case, it was just twice. Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 200 - SE5a Build 09-Dec-15 15:48 Views : 373 I noticed that the ends of the barrel were "capped." So, back to the cutting a thin strip from electrical tape. Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 200 - SE5a Build 09-Dec-15 15:45 Views : 495 Using the drawings of the inboard and outboard profile drawings, combined with photos and the advertisement of the Vickers gun, it was just a matter of choosing the materials to start the build. In this case, I found a small cylinder_shaped piece of plastic to use as the main barrel. Page (45 in total) :  <<   33   34   35   36   37   38   39   40   41   42   43   >>  [ < Prev ] [ Next > ]
