|
|
I got this kit from Comet Miniatures and from my limited experience working with kits such as this, it seems to be a fairly good product.
Although the magazine is larger than the original, Ive decided to keep it intact as to me it looks cool and i want to keep it totally factory standard apart from the led counter.
Will post progress pics once i get started.
The entire kit,
An example of the prep work needed,
Marty put this led counter together for me in 10 minutes costing
$5.00 for the lot.( not the Batt) Ive seen them for sale on other forums for $50.00
Just used a little ND lighting gel to dull te leds, then added some purple gel to deepen the red,

This should be a good build.
I hear these kits are a real pain to put together.
Good Luck.

Thanks guys, not using either colour Neil.
Im limited to using only whats available in spray cans. The closest
colour i could find is a tamiya "dark yellow" (usaf). Its very close but lighter than the brown bess. _________________ Formerly offworld66 |

Can't wait to see it
That LED counter is great.
Sorry to go o.t
Does the display part have a particular name?
I have something in mind that i'd love to make, not sure i'll ever get around to it, and would love to know how to make a countdown clock. |

No problem Neil, its all about the interaction as far as im concerned.
The counters dont have specific brand names as such and Marty had a big bag of them in al different sizes. The ones i used are two 12mm x 16mm
single counters, they almost exactly fit the mount on the rifle, just need to shave a mil off either side on the rifle. Ive seen these at many electricle suppliers and are only like a buck each.
Give Marty a PM if you need more tech info and heres a pic of the back wireing if it helps.
Tim.

Cheers Tim
Marty sure knows his stuff.
I'm not sure if i'll ever get around to doing it, plus, i know nothing about electrics, lol.
I can dream though. |

This has been sittin around for almost a year now, when news of the HCG came out i hung back to see how it turned out.
Great unit but as some had issues decided to go with this one and have done a fair bit of work on it but is still a long way from finished.
Its still factory standard apart from the counter and i replaced the grenade and gun barrel with heavy steel.

The pulse rifle is such a cool weapon.
Tim, have you decided if you're going to paint it brown or green?
Neil. |

After much semi joyful struggle, i finally got this baby finished up and hangin on the wall.
Had to do a lot on instinct as the instructions arent very helpfull. Thanks again Marty for the counter.
Really happy with the whole thing.

I'm sure if Marty was to make a limited run of the counter there would be many takers,Something to think about ha Marty. |

Thanks guys,
It is very crisp, i`d love to age it but wouldnt dare after all the prep work put into it. That BR bathmatting has come in very handy on a few projects and a few to come.
Ive got Marty wrapped up nice qnd tight in an exclusive contract br6
This has drawn very little attention over at the Rpf, maybe i should have put a "droop" in it. _________________ Formerly offworld66 |
