Especially seeing how the cheek weld is in person a flat black color. But in these pictures the rifle's colors looks really washed out. But this being Fallout nothing can be too nice or it will stick out like a sore thumb. All that needs to be done at this point is to weather the rifle, really was not that fun of a process especially after making it so nice looking. So here is the nearly finished product, Everything is in place glued and painted. Painted them black as a primer coat for the copper was they should have, but thought they looked cool as is and left them black. Cracked them out of the wood cleaned them up, then stuck them into the drill press to sand it into shape. To make the bullets I drilled some half inch holes into some pine then filled them with rondo. Also a scope rail was fabricated out of more PVC and a couple small screws to hold it on.Ī test fit of the scope and rings on the rail, the fitting was a little loose so a dab of hot glue under both rings were necissary.Īnd then in my usual style of not taking enough progress pictures, here is the nearly completed rifle repainted with a dark grey metallic paint I got an auto parts store.Īlso this bad boy needed some ammo so I made some bullets from bondo and loaded them into some 50bmg casings I had lying around. You see the runs of over spray in this picture which were wet sanded away. And then I said naw to the whole paint scheme and just hit it with a layer of aluminum paint.
