Hey guys,
Just got a hold of a JUSTINIAN 117 M6G kit. What a beautiful piece of work I must say, picking this thing up out of the box, it is just phenomenal, thanks again man, your work is amazing!
Now he's gonna see me tear his masterpiece apart ...
I gotta be honest, I have never built a kit before, unless you count a Russian T34 Tank model when I was 12, with the help of my dad, which required minimal work outside of gluing and painting. I have never bondo'd anything before, or did anything with this level of detail. But you have to start somewhere.
Without trying to bore anyone, I actually got the inspiration to start building kits after watching some of Tested's "One Day Builds" videos. Basically if you haven't watched them, it's Adam Savage from Mythbusters literally doing builds in one day. One episode he went through his Blade Runner pistol collection and talked about some of the kits he built. Of course the first one he built was good, but not perfect, then he went through some of his other ones and they progressively got better, so I figured since I am not to good at constructing my own stuff (as many of you have seen from my other forum posts), I would try to give kit building a shot!
Here's the kit:
Currently I have everything sanded down ready to bondo and fill up.
Oh and the reason I put M6G/C in the title is because I am actually going to make the Smart Link Scope removable with a magnet. I have the area kind of marked out in a rough area where the front post sight should go. I just need to carve an area on the hood where the post sight will fit in.
Thank you Tactonyx for the reference pics on your builds where the front sight should go. I probably won't go as far as to add the adjustable placement, but it'll look decent at least!
Keep posted for more posting!
