Custom 1:18 Scale Weapons Production

[Falcone]

Hello all. For those who may not have heard or seen on other forums. I am working on a 1:18 scale weapons project. Pictured is a group shot of all 10 weapons that will be in wave one. These will be getting produced in a factory, and should be going into production in the next month or so. I am expecting to sell these for $1 per gun, they will all be sold individually.

Here are a few close ups to show detail level.

Nice! In for 30!!

We have another member, Midget who wants a bunch.. and I quoth..

I can pretty much think of a use for all of 'em. They look nice. Very nice. I'll need 100 FALs to replace all the current weapons my toys have. ALL of them.

 

[Midget]

Yuuuup! Very interested in the FAL. Also going to need some Krinkovs for the stock to make some para-stocked FALs.

And some Galilis.

 

[Falcone]

One note about the FAL. I will be adding a carry handle to it to make it into an SLR. For those that don't want the handle, it would be easily cut off.

 

[pcsguy88]

Very nice, I'll take a spruce full.

 

[Midget]

Sweet!

Edit: what material are these made out of?

 

[derek_001]

Ill definitely need some! Ill send you a PM

 

[Falcone]

Sweet!

Edit: what material are these made out of?

These prototypes are just made from Shapeways.com. The final production parts will be plastic.

 

[K-Tiger]

I think most would just snip the handle on the FAL and glue it in the "down" position for accuracy. THose are my plans on the matter, anyway.



Good thing I stopped after two ARAH FALs.

Very nice! What the hell's an FAL?

A manly gun, too manly for the US! If there's a Free-World equivalent to the AK for derth of users it's the FAL.

because .223 weapons are more accurate...
but an ar just isnt for me...i like my russian guns...

 

[K-Tiger]

Horseshit.

 

[Midget]

I'm sorry? A what? A 5.55 is more accurate than a 7.62x51? Noooo…. a FAL is not as accurate as an AR. But an M14 will out shoot an AR. Easily.

The .308 round has better ballistics than a 5.56. Especially at range.

The reason for the switch had nothing to do with accuracy. It was a political move.

 

[K-Tiger]

Indeed. About the ony thing that was bad about an M14 was the full-auto performance.

 

[Midget]

The FAL had the same issue. Nigh uncontrollable in FA. But fun!

I see that the same company that made my FAL- DSA- submitted a FAL to the army marksman weapon systems challenge. I have no idea how it did, but it looks like it can be sub-MOA.

 

[Rick]

So am I hearing you guys right. The FAL has replaced the M14?

And the FAL is what I would arm a militia with (custom figs), since it's thought of like the AK?

 

[K-Tiger]

Nooo, the FAL didn't replace the M14. We NEVER used the FAL. That dubious honor goes to the M16 family.

You could definitely arm Sub-Saharan militia with it, though. Lots of FAL action in the Brush Wars and they're still in use today there.

Actually, there is really no wrong answer to arming African militia and rapscallions.

 

[Midget]

The FAL is the rifle we should have gone with over the M-16. *Sigh*

They're found pretty much everywhere these days. Used by over 90 countries and every continent in its heyday.

 

[Pickelhaube]

This is all cool and all.

But your first issue of small arms should have been WW2 guns.

pps-41

Arisaka

m-1 cabine para

etc.

 

[K-Tiger]

These are more for the G.I. Joe community.

Contrary to what ya'll think SSHQ ain't the center of the 1:18 universe.

Oh man shucks .

There is a G. I. Joe community ?

 

[K-Tiger]

Sure is.

 

[Monkeywrench]

Awesome!

Thanks for joining the site and sharing this with us.

 

[Monkeywrench]

When will these be available?

 

[Wild weasel]

this looks like it will be awesome, looks like you've gotten a great selection of weapons here.


Any chance of a shoulder mounted rcket/missile launcher(like a stinger) being available in the future

 

[Falcone]

When will these be available?

I wish I had an answer to that. I'm thinking it will be this summer.

Nothing is off the table. I've also considered dio accessories, figure gear, custom figure kits, etc.

.

I'm hoping to include WW2 era weapons sprinkled into this project.

 

[derek_001]

Will thay be pre-painted?

Can't wait!

 

[Cloud Strife]

Where are the gi-normous spring-loaded rocket launchers?

Seriously, though. Cool stuff, Falcone!

You know, a properly scaled, non-gimmick M202A1 like the RoC desert funtime Duke came with would be a nice addition to the toy arsenal......

 

[fogger1138]

Did I read correctly, that we might be seeing prototypes at the SlayerCon this weekend?

Where did you hear that from? I don't recall mentioning that. But yes, I sent SlayerDave some examples to show at SlayerCon.

It was mentioned in Dave's interview on the front page.

Mmm, feet and brains.
