That's looking awfully familiar!

The saddle that sits around the back of the grip is in fact on an L shaped bracket (viewed from the side, a U from the top, open end facing the muzzle end), that curves around the ejection port and tucks under the top cover..
You have never felt pain until you've trodden barefoot on an upturned lego brick..

I know the part, it's in your pre-vis assembly video right?

after trying to re-create said bracket I've realised it won't really fit into the build as it is...grrrrr so I've had to wing it and fabricate my own little tabs to attach the grip saddle to...





And I've been mr blag with regards to securing the bottom half of the Glock to the shrouds using an old plastic rail fitted grip from another gun and hacking it up to make this...



:D

okay this is by no means anywhere near finished...still got absolutely loads to go before it's ready but I thought that after working so hard on this...I'd treat myself to a quick paintjob to spur me on....

That looks really excellent. Well done. Does it feel sturdy, like it won't feel like something will come loose after a while? I know you've probably already thought of it, but you should add some of the graphite scuffing like you did with the helmet.

strangelysaucy

its pretty sturdy yeah, needs a screw in the bottom, the barrell secured properly (not with blu-tac like it is now) and the rear grip saddle to be attached to hold it all in place but the build itself feels good and solid..it weighs in at just over 1kg..not sure how much a real one would weigh but it feels like a GUN :D

thanks for the compliments...It needs some loving paintwork done also yup

That's pretty damn close to the screen we had.. The cables for it went up under the top cover, then down to a brain in the front mag and a battery in the pistol grip..

strangelysaucy

awesome! I'm hoping it can be either way up cos it'd be easier for me if the cable ran up under the top instead of ferreting it under the mag area!!!

god knows how it'll work..or rather if it will at all! but hey this build has been all about learning new things so why not give it a go :D
