A lovely job of work,Envious,
Did you buy the .50 mg mount seperately and if so where from?
I got the .30 mounts from "Shapeways" but the .50 mounts did not seem to be available.
I think I am about to upset someone :haha:

Thank you - it’s almost there now.

The .50 cal is from Tamiya with a brass Aber barrel.

I believe Colin (my 3D printing wizard) is printing .30 cals and mounts. I’ll post a photo.

Enough details added to make it different!

Lee (modelbuilder4) had some parts of him, including the Jerry cans which are lovely.

Shout when you are ready :)

Thank you John.

The resin printing is something else. Far superior to pla for the details stuff.
