LSP_K2 Posted June 11, 2015 Author Share Posted June 11, 2015 Another trivial update. Dragon saw fit to omit every other wood block on the magazine trays, so I've added them. Since every other magazine is rotated 180° from the previous one, those wood blocks are narrower, so that's what I've also done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted June 11, 2015 Author Share Posted June 11, 2015 Guns are now nearing the completion stage. A little filler, and a bit of sanding/polishing, and they'll be good to go. I'm still considering modifying one upper gun body (to better depict the rib type configuration), and then having copies cast for myself, but I'm not sure if I have time for that or not.

LSP_K2 Posted June 11, 2015 Author Share Posted June 11, 2015 Again, perhaps not that big of a deal, but I've finally been able to add one of the two coupling/shaft units. The lower needs to wait until I'm finished with weld seams down there, as there would be interference issues otherwise, for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted June 12, 2015 Author Share Posted June 12, 2015 Switched back to the ammo box for a bit, with hinges and clamp straps being added (with screw heads). 14ga wire stands in for the rope handle, which will eventually be made from twisted copper wire.

LSP_K2 Posted June 12, 2015 Author Share Posted June 12, 2015 My first attempt at the latch. Not bad, but needs to be refined, that's for sure. I'll save this one as a reference to make the necessary adjustments on the next ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodgem37 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Nice update. ' rope handle' Twist two/three strands of solder/wire to give the rope texture. It's too big to be plain. Just my take. Sincerely, Mark LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vitali Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Really nice! Great detail you are adding to it. LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted June 12, 2015 Author Share Posted June 12, 2015 Nice update. ' rope handle' Twist two/three strands of solder/wire to give the rope texture. It's too big to be plain. Just my take. Sincerely, Mark Thanks, Mark, I appreciate the input, and agree, that's the reason I used the term "stands in", as it was just added for the photo. I was just recently recalling that I had an old WWII rope handled US ammo box at my house for years and years, something my father picked up somewhere, but I haven't seen it in a while, and can't figure out where the heck it might be. Very frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted June 12, 2015 Author Share Posted June 12, 2015 Really nice! Great detail you are adding to it. Thanks. I think I'm beginning to near the end of additional detailing, the light at the end of the tunnel, so to speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted June 12, 2015 Author Share Posted June 12, 2015 Speaking of details, I discovered that the arm attached to the gun sight mechanism, had snap rings in either end, so I've faked one in here, as a test. Looks OK, just a little tweaking, and It's finished. ClumsyDude and LSP_Paul 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_K2 Posted June 12, 2015 Author Share Posted June 12, 2015 Remaining wood blocks added. As I suspected, they'll never truly show, so I haven't bothered adding all (32) bolts. LSP_Paul and ClumsyDude 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted June 12, 2015 Author Share Posted June 12, 2015 One last overview for the day (I just couldn't resist). I did this once before, but images failed to upload from my camera. LSP_Paul and ClumsyDude 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
