A bes'bev!!!!!!!! And that A180 looks purty

[Straka Zulu]

Yeah, working on making it playable, too.
I've got an .stl file for an A180, was thinking of printing out a couple more.  That is, unless I can find someone selling resin casts.

I prefer metal for mine  I think there was someone a while ago selling resin casts, maybe check the ongoing sales thread?

Straka, check out Hole in the Ground Productions. They have casts for the A-180 pistol that, while technically not resin, are just as dense and durable. That's where I sourced mine from, as well as my DL-18 and my (non-SW) Moses Brothers' Frontier Defense Model B. I can't say enough good things about them.

Also, I'm digging the armoury

Thank you, both for the suggestion, and the compliment. 

[Straka Zulu]

Even though I don't know how,  I would LOVE to build a prop like this.  It looks like it belongs in Star Wars!

[Straka Zulu]

Does anyone know of someone that sells an .stl file for the RSKF-44, Beckett's blaster?  Willing to pay for the file.  Would consider the one that's on etsy, but can't afford the shipping.

[Zaroc]

I searched for one but never foud one free or not :/ Empire3D did Something similar but not close enough for my taste Tell me if you find one

[Straka Zulu]

No luck, so far.  Only can find two sellers on etsy, one for a $40 kit ($28 shipping from Russia), and another from Finland for €120.  Might have to break down and get one.

[Orland Greene]

Hey straka, if you search for Sergej Kolesnik (the guy who also modelled the realistic westar 35's) he has a version of the RSKF based on the concept and he usually makes his STL's available for public use. It might be worth looking into?

I've been neglecting this post for too long...

NEW WEAPON WiP's!!

First up, my new stabby!


A custom SE-44c:


And a repaint of one of my older blasters.


All are still WiP, of course, and I need to get some new holsters.
Now, the tough part begins.  I'm still working on my Brigades upgrades, and have come up with the thought of cross-class Assassin/Gunslinger.  But here's the rub:  As an assassin, I want to carry a bow and quiver.

Kinda like this.
Need to review the BRL's for both classes, see what I can do.

[Straka Zulu]

Some progress on the new pistol and knife.

[Straka Zulu]

Found the bow I want to use.  Need to sand off the logos and repaint the arms.

[Padishar]

Great thread!  I look forward to the bow build for sure.

[Straka Zulu]

So, just a couple minor mods.  Painted the arms, might sand it off and start over.  But found a set of LED's for bike spokes.

Also, throwing Kal!

[Straka Zulu]

Update time!

Finally got a look at the bow from TRoS, and it has a greeb on the front "made from salvaged blaster parts."  So... First attempt.

I also got all my blades in one place!


No updates on the blasters and dets, ATM.

[Straka Zulu]

Speaking of blasters...


I did a bit more sanding to the dets, as well.

[Straka Zulu]

Can anyone point me in the direction of some patterns for holsters?  I'm having some difficulty with making a new leather one for the A180.

[Anansi]

I haven't tried the hip holster but I do know that the WWII era shoulder holsters for the M1911 fit the A180 really well and can be had for around $35.

[Straka Zulu]

I might have to look into that.

[Shurik Bhar'vani]

I might have to look into that.

Can confirm, they will fit the A180 decently well. The only trouble is that most of the replicas have a big 'ol USA stamped into the leather (at least the ones I've found), so I ended up using one as a template and making my own slightly modified version...though that's also because I built my own A180s and the barrels are slightly thicker than the standard replicas.

I used a few bands of sintra to cover up the US. Gives it a more Swarzy look.

Been neglecting this thread for too long.

My latest loadout.  Still looking to go for Assassin in the Striker Brigade, and possibly cross-class into Pistoleer.

So, not much has changed.  Just busy with my Mk.III rebuild, and a full second build.

[Straka Zulu]

Once again, neglecting this thread.  It might need therapy, later in it's life...

So, got my hands dirty at the last virtual AP, removed the giant "STAR WARS" from the side of my F-11d.

I also made a new leather holster for my A180.  It's a rough draft, going to refine it a bit, once I get more Chicago screws.

Can anyone suggest methods for adding slack to a compound bow's draw?  That's the main thing I need to apply for Assassin Brigade, while following the rules for a non-firing prop weapon.

[Straka Zulu]

Well, well... Didn’t think I’d update this, this fast, did ya?

Holster V.2:


Friction Fit, with a leather strap for extra security. All attachments are “antique” copper Chicago Screws, and I’m using a D-ring closure for the thigh strap.
