After a tough slog as well as a few all-nighters, the UHCM have now received a new Staff Sergeant, as well as M200 operator (UHCM designated sniper rifle. Images included below). Sadly we didn't take too many WiP shots, but to make up for it I do have a few from my first combat drop!

Also, credit where credit is due, the awesome M200 you see below was designed and made by Szecsi Akos (Akos on the forums). You may remember him from the smartgun build he did for Zold, our fellow marine. Keep up the great work dude!

Kudos to the photographers at the con!

Well, a concerted effort from all the members (Akos, Zold, and myself) led to a build which we are all proud of. Stay tuned though, we might just have a couple more things in the works....

Ssgt Sova signing off.

Most of the pics say unavailable.

Great looking pics I can see though.

My god what size ammo does that sniper rifle take !

Very cool

Dang. My bad guys! I'll get that fixed on the double!

Osmotic: the M200 takes .50cal ammunition in a 10 round mag. Akos built it based off those parameters leading to a 152cm long rifle!

EDIT: pics should be working now. Thanks for catching that PVB!

They are big!

That's pretty damned sweet!

You need a bi-pod

Awesome! Nice work!

All pics working fine now.

Thanks for the positive comments guys!

Osmotic: Zold is currently making one, as he's the resident blacksmith.

Trrust me guys, there's plenty more work to be done, but the end result is gonna be sweet! Bugs beware!

Sweet. Love the heavy sniper rifle..... or should I say hard target interdiction rifle.

Looks like it should be mounted to the top of an APC!

Great! A BIG brother for the M42. Well done.
And thanks for mentioning the ammo.
That helped in why 15x 10mm would make sense in a small M42.
Good luck with your next projects.

It would be great meeting you guys after DragonCon. Any plans for HU Cons after September.

Thank you for the compliments guys!
It is realy good to be a part of a community that appreciates our efforts and work.

After finishing Magnus's M56, it was a helluva 2 weeks to make Stefans gear, but at the end I can say it worth minute we worked on it.
I designed a bipod, but we did not have the time to finish it for the Drop, so Zold is working on it now.

As Stef said we still have a lot of work left. We need tu finish His Recon/Scout armor, the shin guard, painting etc...
I need to work on the rifle a little too. For example the gas chamber is too thin, so I need to fix that. She needs a bigger scope, a bipod,
and a lot of minor fixes.

577_ops!

On October we will have a 2 Day MondoCon. It is the biggest event of the year. We would gladly host you and/or your fellow marines!
PM one of us if You are interested.

Our next project is a Dropship pilot and a W-Y SO.

But After that I have no idea. Is there anything You guys want us to build??
Seriously! What would You guys like to see?!

And Thank you for the positive comments again!
Akos
