oh ya thst fine now ill repaint the rear end after dinner and repaint the green before i hit the sack.

going to order some empty ammo shells from RB model tonight when they arive ill put them into the case that catches the empty shells.

ive decided to put it on a small dio with some Paras around it after capturing it or somthing like that. it should be fun

 

[Chris S]

Chris.

[spud]

thanks bud im looking forward to making it

up date time.

started teh gun today


the small bit in the middile of teh circle was a pain in the ass to get in place, i had an other option for a sight but i think this one looked better.



i ordered some shells and a better looking barrel for the gun from RB model

 

[Chris S]

Nice start on the gun Spud ,ya did good with those hinges

Chris.

 

[spud]

thanks chris they were just 1 piece so all i had to do was cut them from the brass etch, and that wasnt easy because the brass on that etch is fairly heavy gauge

WOW that went together quick Spud

shane

 

[spud]

thanks shane, the gun was easy enough but im replacing teh barrel witha better looking one from RB models. the Figs were going to go into it but insted im going to have some paratroopers in the scene, kind of like a D-day thing

 

[Big-John]

Looking good spud. I'd hate to be them guys in the background. Looks very uncomfortable!

 

[spud]

lol thanks bj

 

[spud]

gah. i just noticed a flaw with this flak gun, if the frontal armor is in place the turret is unable to turn with out getting caught on things. Thats a bummber seeing as i glued mine on yesterday...
