There I was, about to undercoat the Prowler and start painting, when a little voice whispered in my head that maybe he’d look a little steampunk with a rifle instead of the knife in his hand…
So then, the offending part:
Cut and carved and sanded some wood for the rifle stock:
(Definitely needs some pimping, and may get a little re-shaping later but it’ll do for now…)
Did some more woodwork to make the fore-stock, then chopped off the hilt and blade from the hand, drilled through it and slotted the two parts into place:
Lathed some brass tube down and soldered a pin into place to form the bolt:
Cut, filed and Dremelled out the slot of the bolt and the ejection port – closed position:
And open position:
Before anyone asks – no; I do not intend for this to actually fire, and yes; I may be going a little OTT…
Thanks for looking!
That is fantabultastic!
