Re: Oblivion Movie Rifle - Taking Final Payments!
LAST UPDATE! - BEFORE CASTING THAT IS!
As promised, here is the last build stuff, I'm getting the casting underway and I'm being delayed by a larger pressure pot on order, hope to have it by weeks end, fingers crossed!
The trigger mechanism glued into place finally! Was waiting on a spring for the clip release.

The spring to make this work was crazy hard to find. But so worth it! Press the release, and the piece moves out to drop the clip.

Let go and the release button springs back in.

I still forgot this rod, but I'll include this in the kit, don't worry. :
Also the Sling mount there is resin and I haven't tested it yet with the sling, so not sure if it will hold. You could probably buy the real metal one and mount it, there's plenty of resin to screw it to.

If you look carefully, you can see the inner ridges of the gun thru the holes, this detail was one of the things that plagued me for a while. I finally decided to just mold this part of the actual gun. It came in handy as there are clips that slide onto the top rail to hold the upper shells in place.

Finally got the scope wheel made right. It took a 3D print from shapeways and some finessing.

There are some gaps on the piece that I couldn't stop. Maybe with some sanding on everyone's end, you guys can make it prettier then I did for mine.

To mount the switches I marked the bottom front shell with sharpie. (sorry for the blurry photo)

These are the switches I found, but I am looking into the digikey ones, it's just pricier then the ones I ordered from China. I'll compare both when I get them in hand.

This is the LED light in the front, it's really small, but VERY bright. It has a separate focusing lens that helps make it even brighter. (again, sorry for blurry photo)

This is the light wired in, but not glued in yet. I actually hot glued mine in and it's still holding so far.
LED wiring 4 by
malsfantasyfactory, on Flickr
This is the crazy wiring trick I did on the front to make the LED work. It runs onm a 9 volt that I glued into the gun housing. On the actual airsofts, I'm not sure where you guys will be able to hide this.

The switch closest to the trigger is the LED one, the other one is a dummy. (Unless you have a winch system hooked up to your folding bike, then by all means hook this switch up!)

So on to the casting of parts! I have some of the smaller stuff underway, but I'm making gang molds to handle the sheer number of buttons I have to make! :lol I'll be updating in a week or so as I get part batches done and once I get the weights down for shipping costs. Keep those payments coming in, almost there!
