M41-A construction Now, as you can see from the original movie prop in the bottom of the picture, there are two tack-like-thingies on the plate! So I wanted it too! That´s why I added them! :-) Also, had I not found a picture of the bottom part of the "real" prop, I would never have understood...

M41-A construction Alright! Almost done with the holes! ;-) And for SOME REASON there are 14 more on the printouts than I need! Fourteen holes that I cut out and glued together before I now realize there is no place to put them!! So of course it feelt like there were to many holes to build...

M41-A construction Time to attach all the holes to the inside of what I assume is going to be a very important part! :-) Slightly different ones for the bottom because that part is curved. It´s a good thing I like this and can´t wait to see the finished build, because I can imagine a lot of...

Thank you for your comments! I mean this is only my third build so I am very happy you all think it is ok! :-) To Revell-Fan; Thanks a bunch!! Your very impressive V-blaster is on my list of builds to come, I can guarantee it! ;-) To DanBKing; Thank you!! And yes, I am only using an old pair...

M41A construction Cutting with a pair of scissors takes time, but it´s ok, it´s fun to build it. :-) Anyone have a better idea on how to cut small parts?

M41A construction When I came to making the counter I noticed it was placed in the wrong place compared to movie stills of the M41-A. Of course I did´nt notice that until after I had finished it and tried fitting it with the mag, so I just printed a new side with the hole moved a bit and cut...
