Custom 1:18 Scale Weapons Production

[K-Tiger]

There's been an update. The FAL is gonna come with a carry handle in the up position. It can be snipped and glued folded down. He also says he's not gonna do the folded stock AKSU, as the same can be done as with the FAL handle. The Ruger Mini-14 will take it's place in the wave.

 

[Falcone]

Here are two completed updates.

They're sexy and they know it!

Wake me when you've got knives, swords, sheaths, and backpacks.

Here are two completed updates.

AWESOME!!

 

[WildBill]

Yep,
I like that FN

 

[Falcone]

I know there are a few of you who are waiting patiently. I thought I would post this update for you. The overall status hasn't changed, the molds/tooling have not gone under construction yet, but progress is being made. Right now I am working with a 3D artist to clean up the models. Many of the smaller details are being removed or simplified. This will not change the aesthetic of the guns, as the picture below will show. These small details were just too fine for a CNC machine to reproduce. Hopefully once these problems get worked out we can finally make it to the tooling stage.

Thanks for the update!!!

Important question for you guys. About how many of each gun are you interested in, if the guns are sold for $1 each? I won't hold you to that number or quote you on it, I just need to gauge how many to produce. If you have answered once already, please do not answer again on another forum. Thank you.

Mini-14
MP5
MP5K
UMP45
G36c
AKS 74u
Galil
FN FAL / SLR
M14
MSG 90

 

[K-Tiger]

2-3 each of the FAL and M14, and one MSG 90 for staters.

 

[MMorelock66]

MP5-3 or 4

 

[Midget]

1 of each model, and an additional +4 FALs

 

[fogger1138]

I'm leaning towards 1 of each, with maybe 2-3 extra of the FAL, AKS, Galil, M14 and MSG90.

The factory has begun working on some sample that I hope to have in hand in 2-3 weeks. In the mean time here are some images of Shapeways parts in black. You can't see any details, but the parts from Shapeways are really low quality and are missing most details anyway.

[loadedtomcat]

I want that FAL

 

[Falcone]

The factory prototypes are complete. I don't have them in hand yet, but have seen pictures from the factory. I won' bother showing pictures as they look no different than the Shapeways examples I have. This is just big news because the tooling is now under construction.

 

[K-Tiger]

Any ballpark for a release date?

 

[Falcone]

I'm thinking it should be mid July.

 

[K-Tiger]

Nice! *crosses fingers*

 

[Falcone]

I'm thinking it should be mid July.

It's been a while since I've last updated. The tooling is still under construction, and should hopefully be done by the end of the month. Because of that, we are now looking at around the end of July. Hopefully there are no delays as I would like to get these out so I can start on my next project.

Awesome!!

Will your next project be weapons again or something else?

It depends on a few factors outside my control. There is one project I would really like to do, but I do not think it will happen yet as there's a few hold ups. What I end up doing next will most likely be another wave of weapons.

Can't wait to see your future plans!

When your first weapons set hits, I will be getting a set for sure!

 

[WVMojo]

pretty cool

I don't know if this was noticed but in the sample review, the Galil looks like the UV for the 3D model got flipped. Outside of that minor accuracy issue, they all look beautiful.
