You'll recall the work I previously did in this thread.
Here's where I was at in October last year:
And here we are today, very close to the finish:
It has a spring loaded trigger and working t-handle, bolt and ejector port. Other than the gray resin M16 receiver shell and trigger, all the other added M16 parts are real.
The following upgrades are still to be made:
-Resin pump grip is to be replaced with a real wooden one.
-Black resin piece behind the pump will be replaced with a real Jackal part.
-Black resin bottom half of the rear ‘shroud’ will be replaced with a real Jackal part.
-Black plastic box with grooves with ammo mag will be replaced with a new correct facing one, also from a real Jackal.
-Missing flash hider will be added once machining is done.
-Extra greeblies to be added (ROTJ style piston halves and original Revell V8/Phantom F4-E model kit parts).
-Adjust lengths of barrel and top tube
-Add weld spots.
I'm going to end up breaking this because I just can't stop picking it up and playing with it! I must also thank the following people for their input/work: Xenomorph, Matsuo, Lichtbringer, Odiwan72, Sidewinder and my 'most secret source', without whom I could not have achieved this level of accuracy
.
This thing has been six years in the making, by the way.
