ah mate, I haven't checked these forums for a couple of days now so I missed your post (and subsequently your game). Hope you got stuck in good and proper.


Dave, glad you enjoyed the videos mate.

Just an update, the channel has done very well since I posted it here and there are now over 20 guys subscribed which is very flattering! Typical that I have had other things to do recently now my channel is more popular, and I have not done a video in a couple of weeks.

I have had an airbrush malfunction to fix and an extension to build on my workbench. Both items are now complete, so ideally I should have another video out in the next couple of weeks.

thanks to everyone who stopped by to view the videos. Much appreciated !

cheers
Jon

Forgot to mention, nice job on the .50's.
I've got several sets of these and have been extremely hesitant to attempt them, but you made it look easy.

don't be fooled. Naturally something as fiddly as those rounds let to a fair bit of cutting and editing the video, as I manouvered the little clips around and such... I have considered putting together a couple of out-takes just to make sure people realise that I'm not trying to make myself look like some kind of super modeller

don't let the .50 rounds boss you around Dave.... they're no big deal once you get the hang of the tweezer trick to push them through. The real trick is using a drill bit slightly narrower than the bullets, this is what makes them "Grip" and keeps your belt together.

I learned this after much

cheers
