That really looks amazing Crypto. Since you have the title of the garrison's weaponsmith, you have a lot of work to do to keep it.

Thanks all for the encouraging words...I aim to please.

Cheers Mar that means a lot coming from you......working on films would be my dream job.

Right just weighed the beast, it comes in just under 2.5 kg...that's lighter than some of the resin gear out there. The e-11's I make come in at 791grams.

I'll up- date tomorrow, pics of the sling I made for it.

I was wondering if anyone would ask this.

I can make a few more, they'll be pricey though as there is a bit of labour involved.

Crypto Great Work, just love it. But a MG 42 would be even better Eyebrows

Ok, I have added the finishing touch to the beast in form of a sling. After researching the slings used in the movie I found that they were a Enfield rifle sling used in WW2. These are still quite common to buy and I found 2 at a good price (2 slings are needed for the T-21), alas the shipping from the US to here was a JOKE.

Besides I have scratch built the whole gun so I thought I would have a go at making a sling.

Started with a ratchet strap, I cut this in half and sewed the 2 halfs together to make it thicker. I made the end clips out of a piece of gal. metal and wire.

A thinned out coat of acrylic paint tinted to a shade of tan was painted into the strap and a light coat of gold sprayed on to the clips to give them a brass look. A metal brace was cut and filed into shape for the mount on the stock.
