Limited Run Oblivion Movie Rifle - Second Run Capped!

Re: Oblivion Movie Rifle - Taking Final Payments!

It's a genuine MS3 Magpul sling. I replaced the webbing with gray and painted the clips. They are probably a little light in color, but I figure they will darken as they get dirtied-up.

Re: Oblivion Movie Rifle - Taking Final Payments!

UPDATE! - Ok, the good news, I almost have 10 sets cast, was hoping to ship this week. The bad news - NOT shipping, not sure when at this point.

As I have talked about previously in the thread, my mother in law has been having medical issues, those just went south. She was battling cancer in her spine and now the doctors have said she cannot survive and has a few months to live. Suffice to say this was not good news and my wife fell apart, I have been dealing with unbearable responsibility at home to the point where I'm going insane.

I might get to cast some parts one day, and none for the next few days, whatever schedule I had, has gone out the window. As it stands I have about 7 shell sets, about 9 inner part sets and very few of the inner components. The handles are the hardest thing to cast and so far I only have one good one. I have purchased more material to finish the run, but I still have to order the hardware (screws, springs, etc.) as well as create some sort of assembly instructions.

I'M NOT GIVING UP DAMMIT!! Life can just keep knocking me down, but I WILL FINISH THIS RUN IF IT KILLS ME!!! :) Here is a pic of the cast parts, obviously not all cast in the right colors, but I'm doing my best to make sure the shell and handle are the right color, all bets are off on internal components.

Re: Oblivion Movie Rifle - Taking Final Payments!

Sorry to hear about the family troubles. Our hearts go out to you and your family.

You have stayed the course on this project through some of the most difficult times. We have faith in you and this project. Take care of your family. This is a hobby - and our families put up with us. We can see real progress and determination demonstrated in your posts. The updated pics prove how far you have come with the project and you are on the final stretch. The stress of this project and the stress of your family illness is a great burden to carry. Lighten the load a little - most of us can be patient and wait a little longer - no sweat. Personally - I can wait until you can get back on your feet - I know you will see this through. The time effort and detail your have poured into this project is awesome. Your work will be cherished in my collection. In the end, your tenacity will be a legendary example on the forum - despite all the set backs - you finished the project.

Please take some stress off - take care of your family - they will take care of you - then your can take care of us (fans, customers, admirers, fellow collectors,)

Thank you for the update.

Gordon

Re: Oblivion Movie Rifle - Taking Final Payments!

Mate, please take care of your family first. When I first started this wonderful hobby, I already told myself that I would not want any part of my collection at the expense of another person's troubles or inconvenience. Every part of my collection would be built from the prop maker's passion and his joy of sharing this wonderful hobby. So, please take care of all your love ones at home and as far as my rifle is concern, I can wait as long as its necessary. Cheers!
 
Re: Oblivion Movie Rifle - Taking Final Payments!

Re: Oblivion Movie Rifle - Taking Final Payments!

Sorry to hear about your mother-in-law Mal. You have to deal with that of course. I'm sure we can all wait until you're able to get the time and inclination to finish this. All the best.
 
Re: Oblivion Movie Rifle - Taking Final Payments!

So it comes with a heavy heart that I must report my mother in law passed away a week ago, I've been making funeral arrangements and haven't been too keen to work on stuff. Again, I'm sorry for life getting in the way, but I hope this will help to free up some time for me to ship out the first ten kits, they're in part form and missing minor stuff, but close. I hope I can at least get this done soon for everyone who has been so patient with me.
 
Re: Oblivion Movie Rifle - Taking Final Payments!

Sorry to hear about your sad loss Mal my thoughts and condolences are with you & all of your family at this difficult time.

As far as apologies are concerned there's no need I know that I & probably everyone else on here understands that your having a difficult time at the moment, like you said life just gets in the way sometimes. Take your time mate lookafter yourself & your family & sort out everything you need to do & when your ready I'm sure that we'll all have a great item from you.

Take care of yourself mate & my condolences for your loss to your wife.
 
Re: Oblivion Movie Rifle - Taking Final Payments!

Yes, sorry for your loss Mal. I agree with Womble68, no need to apologize.
 
Re: Oblivion Movie Rifle - Taking Final Payments!
