So these arrived:
Left to right: Resurfaced IMA pouches, vintage pouches, torch welder, and leather gloves. So, I am torn. Should I use the vintage looking repros or the almost new vintages?
Re: TIG's various prop projects - original Martini-Henry found
Here are a few things that arrived that I haven't posted about:
That is: a vintage Martini-Henry bandolier (from Saifai), woodman V2 Ion blaster, and an AW Custom DL-44.
All of them are very nicely crafted. I will mod the AW Custom DL-44, but I need your help.
Should I convert it to TFA or ANH?
TFA progress:
Applied Roy's bottom cover. It looks great with my accurate towelkeeper TFA kobold clip.
Also ordered the accurate screws from KR Sabers, along with the blade plug. Did have to ream the hole for the slotted screw on top, but it was so ridiculously easy.
Also used the same reamer tool to enlarge the holes that the rivets would go in. They just have the pins knocked out. I will glue them in but not now.
That's all for now.
Riveted the kobold clip on. I used standard non-blind rivets. How? I riveted it in halfway and then hammered the pin out. Holds it in well and looks great.
(Sorry for pic from car, it was earlier in the day)
And a moody photo I took with the box:
Thanks. There's only so much you can do with a 2.0, but I think it looks pretty good. It would look even better with a new clamp card. My wannawanga card is kinda scratched up.
