Which pic in the top right? The Sitting target scope mount overlays.? If I recall correctly, I think these are the overlays I made way back to prove out
Deadbolt's 3d modeling of the scope and mount. As it turns out the parts were very very close.
I was asking a question using this image and u answered by inserting it into that collage. It was very helpful. Thank you again

Dangit, I forgot to grind that flat on the back bottom/underside of the cradle! I've done it on other cradles in the past, so I swear I totally already know it's there, I mean it's fairly obvious. Hehe
But then there's a lot of details I'm kinda just not adding. This personal version of this blaster (MGC) has been a work in progress for like 6 or 7 years. Before that I had a Denix that I sold off, to someone right here on this forum. It had a MR old version bull barrel, and I really can't even remember what else, I'm pretty sure it had a Gavidoc flash hider, which was actually really nice. But I don't recall what scope/mount were on that one. Maybe MR.
Anyway, I guess what I'm saying is that I may EVENTUALLY take this one as far as you have, kpax, but that might be a few years, yet.
I don't abandon this one for very long before tweaking something else!

That chronicles book is outstanding! I payed close to $100 for it when I got it but it does have some nice pictures of the blasters. Not a lot though and they all can be found online if you look hard enough. Here is the best from the book IMHO..
That looks great! Did u just sand it down by hand? And are those the DEC grips on ur MGC? Really nice looking build Dann !
Yeah, that was all hand-sanding, it took a long time!
Thanks, I think it looks much better with a smooth cradle/mount.
Those ARE DEC grips! I have two sets, for my two MGCs. It's funny you ask about them, because after I posted my latest photos of the Hero, I went to work dulling the glossy finish on those grips.
Kpax, would you be alright with sharing what magnets you used for the front sights, and where you got them? I'd love to give them a try!

The magnets I used were taken from a used small gift box with magnet closure. The kind that they put in a cardboard flap.
It was very thin. Maybe 1mm thick.? I’ll have to try and measure if I have any left.
The magnet is brittle and I just snapped it into several pieces that fit the bottom of the sight assembly. I think they are NdFeB magnets.
I made a mold of the sight assembly with full blade and antenna s. And clayed the assembly on top of the actual bull barrel for the correct shape to seat the sight. After the mold was made, I would pour the resin in the mold and use the bull barrrl as the core with the magnet stuck to it. When cured, the mold can be pulled off and the part pealed off the steel barrel with a perfect tight fit I used a black resin so it matched the Tomtitt parts with no painting.

Here is something I’ve just started doing for the extraction mark. Milling in the detail then added the extraction mark on the denix separately. The build is a custom bespin I did for someone (forgive the greeblies) but I think the end result looks pretty good..
RodanAZ its not that difficult but can be bit confusing. Ur best best is to separate the denix into two parts then pull out the rod in the back with plyers or using a vice grip. I’d show a picture but all my Denixs are already pulled apart and modified. Maybe some here has some pics handy to share?
