Was schlepping around the web when I found this site..

www.cushmanpaintball.com/replicaM41A.html

What's the 'original' the guy is making the vacforms from?



It's the 21st Century and where are the flying cars...??
-I was *promised* flying cars.....

He's using a replica to make his master by the look of things

Look what else they have. Maybe good for a smartgun.

Would be interesting to see if they could be accurised.

He also sells the MG-42 in a thinner plastic (better detail but weaker walls):

One of our Biker Scouts has one, I'll see if I can find out from him how it holds up in the long run.

If I had to guess, I'd say he vacced that of an RC Roberts casting.

Well that hi res pic sure does make that PR look like utter crap.

I guess if you needed a half a dozen for a film this could be a cheap alternative.

But if this is to be your costuming pride and joy PR, I would save your money for a higher quality version.

"Marines I see as two breeds, Rottweilers or Dobermans, because Marines come in two varieties, big and mean, or skinny and mean. They've got really short hair and they always go for the throat."

Saw those last year. They're designed to encase a paintball gun, and the rest of the empty space is filled with spray foam.

Like was said, if you were making a fanfilm and needed a bunch of stunt rifles, this might be the way to go. At $50 they're cheap enough. Detail sucks though, but at a distance, would anyone really notice?
