I normally just read on the Rctech forums but this build I had to say something. That is a impressive build and skill set you have. I am looking forward to seeing more of this.

Ok so now I have to add the top part of the 1/10 machine gun receiver body. Once again I have to combine multiple pieces of styrene and then sand them down
Now I go back to my plans and cut out the templates for the side groove configuration and vents
Making sure that my plans were in 1/10 scale made it so much easier to build the physical model
The I airbrushed through the template to give me the guide marks to begin chisseling out the grooves
And here is the completed rough design of the 1/10 scale machine gun that will be mounted on the Tamiya Toyota Hilux Body

Ok so after a long hiatus, finally I decided to just take a few days off, so we are going to finish this build by the end of the week. Been sitting on the bench too long.
So after looking where I left off I didnt like the way the channels came out on the machine gun. Because I had to cut them out of the solid styrene pieces I had put together it lost some of the sheet metal feel. So I am going to add some thene styrene plating.
So I retrace my original template
Then use a razor to cut the channels out. This gives the cutes a more stamped metal look which is what we are looking for.
Now we can mount them onto the gun again and really weld it on.
This really cleaned it up and is making the machine gun look like sheet metal.. Multiple posts tomorrow!

Ok so doing a bit more sanding on those new side panels that I added to the Machine gun.
Then I had to begin shaving down part of the Evergreen Block in the rear to begin shaping the back sight rails.

Then I cleaned them up with the good old micro chisel
Then I decided to add some rivet holes using pin vise
Finally added the upper rear sight and I added the charging lever. NOOOWWWW it is looking like a machine gun.

Ok so I layed a layer of primer on the machine gun so while that is drying I am going to start building the ammo box and the gun mount.
So using the trusty mini table saw I cut up the sides of the ammo box
Then I just filed down the sides just make sure everything was even
Now using a right angle Jig I start attaching the edges
Ok so now I have let that thing bond up so I started building the gun mount to setting it in the jig.
Noooowww dry you bastards dry!
