Hey yall---Got a new custom for yall!!!---What we have here is a Japanese Type 92 Heavy Mechine Gun---better known as the WOODPECKER!!!
It was known as the Woodpecker because it sounded like a Woodpecker when it was fireing!!!!All I used to make this custom was 1 mid-size black bolt (I cut the head off the bolt with a Dremel tool)--for a heat vent,1 long spring for a vented barrel(the spring is very tight---small wire around a small long dow rod would work also),a tri-pod from some other 1:18 stuff I had in my parts box---I had to extend further,and some different size Styrene strips!!!!The grips are 2 BBI .45's that I sanded down and glued onto the sides.The ammo is from a 21stC .30 or .50 Cal that I glued onto a Styrene Strip(it would feed into the side in 25 round strips---A 2 man job---1 fireing and 1 feeding the ammo in one strip at a time)!!! All that I have left to do is paint and put in a Dio!!!
Hope yall enjoy!!!---RED--- [/img]

All of us have skeletons in the closet. Only some of us have bodies in the freezer, though...
