Ma5C Assault Rifle Wip

[SpartanSRS]

Well, after I've taken a break from my recon helmet.. I haven't really touched it but I have the supplies. I started working on my assault rifle for the past few days. I've just nearly finished the pepakura stage and boy did I use a lot of glue! . Instead of resining the outside I was thinking of using spray on truck bedliner and filling the hollow inside with bondo. Would that work? Your insight would be helpful! Thanks in advance!



I think putting the grip is probably going to be the hardest part now..

Well it takes awhile, but the cutting is easier than helmets. The problem is that it closes up and you have to improvise... A LOT.

oh, i should try that one someday... (can't wait to see your finished product)

How do you expect to go about fiberglassing that?

Not very sure... I'm thinking of using spray on truck bedliner on the outside to harden it and then fill it up with hardner.

Well you got some warpage in that. fix that before you go ahead doing something else. as for difficulty, this model is pretty low def so its pretty easy, and for fiberglassing, what i do is when you get halfway through the rifle glass that area. when u are done, finish the other half and fiberglass that half. when you r done with both sides, glue them together and finish off with resin

I thought I saw a thread awhile back where someone was using smoothcast inside a helmet after it had been pepped/resined. I wonder if you could do the same for weapons so you don't have to split them up to fiberglass the inside. I might be totally wrong though and have no idea what I'm talking about.



Nice pep by the way.
