Spat Aliens Spulse Rifle - Upgrades!

[Krovnovsky]

Re: Spat Aliens Spulse Rifle WIP - Done-zo!

Thought about making one like in the game Aliens: Colonial Marines?

Those are beautiful parts. Making a great PR even better!

Parts have been drilled, prepped, painted, and cleared.

Also made the rear sling attachment ring by bending a U out of some 1/8" brass rod. I'll drill two corresponding holes into the rear of the shroud and epoxy the rod in. Then this one will (once again) be done! ...For now

That turned out beautifully, you should be thrilled with how great it looks.

 

[Kevin Gossett]

And here she is, all done! Now I'm finally able to attach my noble sling

The sling attachment points make it sit a bit uneven off the metal grate, so I'll need to see what I can do to have longer hooks that hold it up, so it sits further away from the wall.

I've also got a few Spat grenades coming soon too, so I'll need to figure a way to mount those as well

Here are the upgraded parts I picked up from Phil... The barrel vent shroud and the barrel triangle with ring.

The vent shroud was squared off at the back, but I had to trim it down at an angle to fit my resin gun. The barrel pictured is just some 1/2" aluminum tube cut to size. I'm about to drill a couple holes in the vent and triangle so I can secure it to the top of the grenade launcher, then I'll hit them with some satin black before securing everything together :thumbsup

Can I ask how much the parts set you back?

Great looking PR. The Spulse is a great kit!!!

The two machined parts were under $100 shipped

Looks awesome! Great work. Love the display

 

[TLantMAGNUS]

Excellent build! The new parts really make the kit stand out.

 

[L0B0]

Great work

 

[Kevin Gossett]

Thanks everyone! I'm much happier with it now. The only thing I think I'll change now when I get around to it will be the barrel. I've got a half inch aluminum tube right now, but it's a bit too small. Just need to find the right diameter

 

[Rikarus]

nice build brotha!

 

[Kevin Gossett]

Well, I finally got around to getting the proper barrel. I ordered from Phil again, and it just came in today. I removed the barrel that was on the PR and gently/forcefully tapped the new barrel into the triangle. Needs a slight sanding and I'll hit it with some satin black tomorrow
