cute lol

I wonder if those 1/2scale alloy empire models can be brought in?
Saw a used desert eagle on ebay last year but sold

 

Exactly what I was thinking.

 

Isn't a 1/2 scale desert eagle pretty much a full scale normal handgun?

 

it's smaller than a full size glock 19 with the DE at half-scale.

 

And probably bigger than a beretta Cheeta or colt 1908 pocket pistol

 

i am fine with 1:3 scale for now. i have a 2nd 1:3 scale TTI Pit Viper, a 1:3 scale G17, a 1:3 scale black/brown TTI G34, and a 1:3 scale black/grey TTI G34.

The plan is I am going to swap the brown slide and magwell from the black/brown TTI G34 and stick them on the tan lower for as desert themed TTI G34 and the other G34 will be all black. will also have to check the back plate of the slide to see if it is black so i can colour coordinate completely.

 

here is a comparison vid on the sizes but glockish

 

the alloy empire ones are like top tier on aliexpress

the TTI G34 is easy to spot if it's an alloy empire one. if the extended buttplate on the mag is shiny metal then it's not alloy empire. the detailing on the alloy empire is much better.

the ones with the shiny metal mags aren't compatible nor can it hold the slide back on an empty mag....they can't even strip a round from the mag either. the slide detail is a bit softer like rounded edges. they're just ok.

Here's a photo of the alloy empire on the top and the knock off on the bottom.

 

Modelled, printed, and tested some mounts for my models that are compatible with the skadis pegboard from ikea.

 

Gonna get a skadis pegboard after work so I can start putting this stuff on display. Just unsure what size of pegboard to get.

 

A small one.

 

Was thinking the 56x56cm pegboard to start out.

 

here's how it looks so far. i got a smaller board to start off with.

 

Feedback from NSW Police.

 

Off to do my firearms safety course on Monday.

Is SSAA the best route for showing genuine reasons?

Also contacted the Lithgow Small Arms Factory Museum, and although they are closed, they are sending me a 1/6 sale SMLE and SLR (and a hat and stubby holder)

 

PM me a postage address, I'll send you gun related stickers from my multiple trips to SHOT show in Vegas, good for gunsafes

 

i would love to join you but i can't think of a legit reason other than just pure interest.

EDIT: Here's progress of my "Gun Wall Pegboard of Solidarity". I have the following models coming:

• AK-47
• SIG MCX Rattler
• 2 x Beretta 92F
• Kimber

I think there's enough space for more G17s in different colours though. I will most likely will need to buy a bigger board

 

No CZ ? Needs a beretta 92 also.. 92fs, 92a3, whatever..

 

I ordered 2 berettas. Will see if I can find a decent Eagle and maybe an AR-15.

 

Get a c96 broom handle. Those things a legendary... and a luger.
