Quick question to the guys who have finish their guns. Im about 80% done on my build and hunting down a 3d file for the guitar knob base and the 2x chips. or what has people used to scratch build this item? Any help would be great cheers.
Realized I didn’t take any pictures of finishing that piece. I covered the start of the part in the first half of this post here:

This is how it turned out:
As for the chips, I used the handle off of a plastic pitcher (the blue tape was just to keep it from getting scratched too much while handling it). Sliced out a number of pieces wand picked my favorite shapes.
Then I popped on to good ol’ Google and image searched “ciruitry” or something like that, until I found a picture I liked. Printed the picture out in a scale that worked for me, then just glued that to the back of the plastic pieces. After that, I just painted the base and glued it all together. The back piece of the base snapped off at some point, instead of replacing it or repainting the back, I just left it, it’s barely noticeable when out on the con floor.
That got attached to a quick-detach mount like the light, and just pops on and off the rails.
Doesn’t look super pretty up close, but it looks really great when it isn’t the focus of a giant picture haha (the excessive use of hot glue is barely noticeable
)
And if you don’t have aluminum laying about, cardboard/wood/plastic/foam or any other material would probably work just fine.
Also, snap some pictures of your progress! I’d love to see how your BFG is coming along!
