[QUOTE=King Ramna;551324]Hello,
I am new to woodworking. Here is my first wood project. I am attempting to make a DMR. I still got a little ways to go, but here is what I got.

Yeah I would say you are probably already there. Now go further

thats pretty dang good for "new" lol

Thanks guys. I am going to work on the details this week. I am also getting hooked up with a scope mount from a local airsoft shop. I am also looking at what scopes I want to get.

This looks very promising.

From a fellow woodworker, I believe you'll go far.

Looking to be a really nice DMR so far, great job!

A quick update
Some of the pieces is glued on. Hopefully, I am going to pick up a rail mount today. I am also working on the charging handle area. I wanted to make a functional charging handle but I may not if my current attempt looks more realistic. I made a poor selection of materials to use for the detail. I should have used bass wood but I thought it was overpriced at the time.
I am using 1/16 thick paper and some cheapo not-so-thin wood, oops. When everything is done I'll go back a redo the detail.

As you can see my sizing is a little off. (a bit small, but my helmet is oversized, BTW)


Here is the charging handle look I may go with. I like how the brass looks like a internal bolt thingy, lol.


Here how I made it. I cut it to length with a radial saw, then I used regular scissors to cut the circumference to about a quarter. The material is a metal curtain pole that was laying around. Actually, I am not sure its brass...


Here is a side view of the top part of my cheek guard. I was having a brain fart with geometry while trying to figure out how to make it. So I made it the hard way. Although, If I had a band saw it might have been easy to make while doing it the hard way.

Won't fit under the scroll saw


Front view.

Your DMR is looking awesome so far!

if it where me i woulda gone with balsa wood.. its light weight and easier to carve and all you would need is the wood, a razorsaw, xacto knife, and wood glue.... me and my family do alotta work with balsa wood... we actually use it to make vac-form molds for scale models like tanks an aircraft my lil bro tried doing a covie crusier

I also like balsa wood, but I wont start building with it unless I get a vac form table, however, I also do models that I plan to mold

Currently im working on a 1/72 scale Me-262, and a 1/72 Bf-109. Im going to make interchangeable parts for the 262 as I plan to make all the different variants.

dude if u like that u should see some of the stuff my dad makes, he's had his models in a few magazines like ww1 aero and stuff, and now he's started a decal company for ww1 modelers.... but if you need to know how to build a vacuum-form box i think we have diagrams somewhere around here

Update Pic

what impresive work and skill you have shown with your talent. i am really impressed. well done

Update Pics:
Painting right now. I still need to glue down the cheek guard and scope. l'll add more detail in the next few weeks.
