and here it end's ,its finally finished, last revision of the design was to re position the battery in front of the stock allowing a far bigger battery, 11.1v 2200 mahr 35c lipo replaces the 11.1v 1450 mahr 20c ,it leaves the space under the top cover far tidier and more space for the sound equipment.made up a small double ended hex key tool that is used to adjust the hop and remove the stock for battery replacement and can be stored in the magazine.finally i made the magazine catch more secure ,i was worried that the drum mag might come off under the rough and tumble of battle, it does make re-fitting the drum a more precise job but is far more secure .
but enough of that here the pictures.

Awesome work there, absolutely love the MG42

Would love to attempt building one myself but lack of funds makes it a bit difficult to start

Loving the work

I am very, very impressed, a beautiful piece of work. Will we be seeing a video of the special effects in action? I do hope so.
