I know I said 'pics later' but my M6D is now on hold pending me finishing my CQB (here) thanks to everyone who looked at this..

hehe, facebook page does not load for me :p EDIT: facebook in general doesn't work for me! EDIT: revise link: too mant http's

Hey guys! first of all, I'd like you to know that I THINK this triple post is justified, (#1 was before forums went down, #2 was unrelated) Now, I've had a fair amount of progress being done in the last few days, for example, the pepping is complete, I've resined the entire outside with a...

Nice! It takes a huge amount of dedication to scratch build. Well done on the reach build, looks fantastic!

Well theres been a fair bit of progress, I guess, in that the grip has been smoothed off, so that it is nice and comfortable. Pics later,

WOW! That attack on the forums somehow put me in the mindset that I could re-do my M6D from SCRATCH! If you're interested, It can be found HERE EDIT: sorry, It's HERE

Okay, so I know I SAID I'd give it a few months, And maybe I should have. but then again, this could turn out okay, and besides, I've already started. MOVING ON! This time, I decided to try something radical, never before tried! (by me) So, I got a two blocks of wood, and I...

Hello again, small update, with no pictures. Sorry. :( Today, I put two part building putty stuff in cheek bits, Later, I went to the hardware, and bought some fiberglass resin (and catalyst). I mixed up about 40ml of it, total, in progressively larger batches, starting with 5ml...

Okay, so i've been thinking, the main problem with using plaster as a strengthener is that it is water based, and therefore soaks into cardstock, making it fall apart (dissapointing). Just now i was looking at a tin of WD40 and thinking: 'hmmm... this stuff repels water..' and so, i...

I would guess, seeing as how i'm not sure and all, 25 - 45 AUD EDIT: Okay, i've made a visor for the CQB, if anyone wants the file for it, with a rectangle scalable to the height of the original model, PM me. Pic #7 here

Thanks for the support guys, I'm not going for non toxic, but relatively inexpensive. And yeah. supports, I might even go so far as to model a visor with pep (edit the file) and add it in. Meanwhile, it's coffee time. EDIT: I'm thinking about modding my mouse to have an...

Hi, This is the .obj exporter that I use, it's far from perfect, but it works. OBJ EXPORTER And this is the importer i use, useful. OBJ IMPORTER I have been using sketchup for almost three years, and i am yet to find a...

Okay, I put the photos of the nearly completed pep, on this picasa album: http://picasaweb.google.com/silvidedude/CQB #1, #2, #6 are a piece I coated in plaster (on the inside). This didn't work. #3, #4, #5 are the rest of it sofar. Hope to get some more done today. No real 'plan'...

Hello, this is my CQB progress thread, so far i have almost completely pepped the entire thing. I am experimenting with ways of strengthening cardstock. Pictures tomorrow. PS: this is only my fourth project! (hopefully I'll finish this one) so bear with me as I learn!

Thanks mustang, this isn't my first project, but it is my first real one. Im about 3 quarters through pepping (and reinforcing with cardboard) my cqb helmet. Guess i ought to make a progress thread on that tonight.. EDIT: cqb thread...
