M1 Garand style rifle UPDATE with damage videos

[qbnbountyhunter]

haha, i had to sand it by hand, so it isn't at its full potential, but at least i tried

P.S. Spud blaster-what makes it so ghetto? the less than mediocre bondo job?

I'll give you a hint.It pays to use 80 grit paper and lower on Bondo.I just finished out the Bondo on my new gun and it has been a pain in the rear.3 hours straight of hand sanding.But I think I've finally got it looking right.

Any how, back onto your gun.Sorry for my tangent.I'd say good layout of the tank and barrel, it hides well.The only thing I would suggest is strip the paint and go back to sanding.Just switch to a coarser grit and change the paper often.A sanding block will be your best friend.For tighter places(trigger area,etc.) I duct tape a piece of sand paper to half(cut lenghtwise) of a 5" piece of pool noodle.The foam follows profiles very nicely and isn't so rough on the hands.

Good luck man

thanks for the tips, this was my first time with bondo and i was short on sandpaper. i will prob go with your advice and strip the paint, then redo the bondo.

Why no shooty in the vid man, i was like "cool a vid of the m1 shooting stuff" And then i was like "aw man, he didn't take a shot"

Edit: Ah ok, can't wait to see a few shots

[qbnbountyhunter]

thee camera was low on battery so it only got the first few seconds of the gun . i plan on having a shooting vid soon

Yea I want to see that thing in action.
that is an amazing work of art I once tryed to do somthing similar to that but I used wood instead of Bondo and mine was a peice of crap compared to that

Very nice indeed, i love it, i love the realish rifle look, although yu could invest in a electric sander But never the less, this is a very unique gun, never seen one like it before, although its a bit similare to the paper mashay one you made, but i think this one is alot better.
