Sliced MA5C w/ some slight mods and of course Pic Heavy!
Well here i am again and i know i haven't finished my armor yet but i could not wait to start this. The Sliced MA5C originally modeled by the artist Lex but with my own spin on the making rather than sully sticking to the file to try to give it a more realistic flavor so hopefully i will not disappoint.
I am making this gun using 1/4 inch plywood to give it rigidity and weight for a more authentic feel, with the wood i plan to Bondo in the details with my trusty rotary tool and add a few things to try to make the gun as close to game accurate as possible with out breaking the bank of 50-75 dollars that i have set for myself.
And now onto the pics of my minor work so far and hopeful ideas that i am trying to bring into this build.
This is the pic that i am using as a reference for this build.
Here is a layout of the templates printed cut and taped together and laid out on the plywood
Grip template modded to make overall grip width 1.5 inches rather than the fat 2in. from the original model
Pieces i am omitting from the build for they stick out and if you look at the reference pic they actually indent inward, so i am keeping their design to use on the cutout in the previous pic instead
The barrel with larger outer sleeve and smaller almost caliber accurate inner sleeve which i also intend to put in a working bolt in this gun also
Charging handle for the working bolt
Spring for the working bolt
Magnets for the detachable magazine of the gun which i am also going to mod to a thinner mag for the other one is just too thick
Working flashlight for under the barrel
Blue LED for the display/ammo counter on the gun
And finally a trigger from an old SKIL saw that will be incorporated into the gun
I hope i have sparked your interest and that you will enjoy the build. Again like in my other thread i apologize for the bad quality of the pics for they are from my phone as i do not own any other camera otherwise. Questions or comments, advise or constuctive criticism are all welcome
Happy Building 405th!!!

I have been cutting out the pieces and removing some of them entirely for the gun would of been 4 inches wide if I hadn't, and also some of the plywood broke in the middle of cutting out some smaller pieces, but i have more plywood so I will be getting them cutout tomorrow after work and hopefully fingers crossed, the layers glued together with trigger installed and barrel & flashlight hole cutout. So hopefully tomorrow night i will have an update for everyone 
2 updates in 2 days not bad if i say so myself lol,
