hey everyone, so here it is, the thread for the prop kit i had to battle for.
after three days of sanding out seams, andpiecing the whole thing together this is what it looks like so far:
[
the rifle is made of fibreglass and i'm guessing smooth cast 320...
i will have more updates soon

yeah, I had seen these on ebay. So alot of clean up work needed on it?
Member
yes! there are heaps of large air bubbles in the fibreglass resin, and quite a few chips that need to bee filled. sanding out the seam is the hardest part.
however so far it has been a fun kit to put together!

air bubbles in the resin and chips that need to be filled, and sanding out the seam is better than not being able to do that at all... ;p glad you got your gun dude!

For 600+ USD, I'd have fought as hard as you did too.
It look like it comes with some cool features and the details are awesome. Two weeks of full time work for that money, probably several months of labor to do it yourself instead, the price seems justified. I saw this on ebay, but my student needs don't really allow for that kind of spare cash, jealousy abound!
Can't wait to see it painted.
