The parts for the adjustment wheel.


Adding 0,8mm nuts to the transferbox, and the finished wheel.


The adjustment system finished and mounted on the frame


The frame is almost finished,just missing a part I will add later on.

Johnny

Always fun to dryfit all parts to see how is looks

So here are the progress so far.

Johnny

The last part on the frame.

The drawing


The frame is made of 1mm wire.I was out of straight brasswire,so I had to use a paperclip....thats why its so bucled
I just call it weathering.

Quite amazing, its truely an art form!

Johnny

Thanks guys!!

So it was time to make the barrel.....first I thought this was going to be just as easy as the earlier parts.....oh oh oh...I was wrong!!

Lets start with the drawing...

It looks pretty straight foward right ?

BUT...as you can see the barrel are made of parts 51 a and b and this only makes the inner part of the barrel.
The first part is to be twisted and glued to make the rills inside curl around....
As shown on the pic....


I had to really do some thinking here, and came up with a solution where I was to use small strips of silkpaper to connect the butts all the way around.


I got it together in a way, but it's not any pretty sight
So came the next stage...making the outer part of the inner part


That part went ok

The outer part of the barrel are made of several pieces as shown on the pic


Those parts are strairgt forward builds with a skin covering a ring in each end.I used a 4,5mm drill to align the different tubes.


The rear end, where the ammo goes in was next.


Great with laserparts


And an outside skin was to be put on.


So now the work to place all the details on the barrel starts...

Johnny

Continued on the barel, and the end was to be made.

The drawing shows that It't many parts involved here....25 parts to be correct.


So I started with the outer part
Here are some of the parts to be used on the tip.


The tip is done


The coned ring on the backside


And this little bugger was to be coned and put onto the ring


The rest was staright forward building.Making 4 rings or small tubes and the rear coned joint.And here is the finished tip!


Overview


And lets put some ammo in
