Hi guys, this is my first prop build.
I decided that it was useless if it didn't work.
Big shout to Jon Davies for his help... and the smug face I can pull to him that I have a blaster that actually goes pew pew...
Before anyone tears it apart, some of the details are not screen accurate- This is either because A. I think it made a better looking piece or B. It has still got to work as a fully functioning airsoft gun.
Base is an S&T steel sterling AEG. DBS props supplied a steel scope rail and counter bracket, very good quality resin M38 scope and counter box, and the T tracks.
The scope has been modified to have a glass lens with reticle detailing, with an LED light inside, with a hidden, but accessible battery and switch.

The magazine, after some research, is as short as I was willing to cut it down and still be able to use it. A mock up can always be used for display anyway.
It does, however, have a UV light projecting onto the BBs in the feeding tube of the magazine, which gives tracer BBs the glowing effect- So madbull red tracer BBs give a brilliant, almost uncanny laser effect.

The last thing to do was paint detailing, highlighting screws and giving the front of the scope a purple colour shift wash effect. Then a weathering, which I may or may not do a little more to, but it's a personal thing.

I also have a generic DL-44 build going on made from a full metal Tercel Gas Blowback M712 (No-one makes an airsoft C96), and a moscart launcher Jawa Blaster (pictured) that will be resin, as I refuse to chop up a £600 replica SMLE

Then it's on the hunt for some decent Scout armour.
I have an understanding girlfriend...
