Life Sized Pistol Tacticool Version

   After I finished my last post I got to thinking, "How could I improve on this gun?" Well I found a way. By over-taccing it I finally have my dream pistol. Now I just need to make a laser, stock and folding handgrip and it will be out of the realm of tacticool and into the realm of plain ridiculousness.


The full build in all it's glory! I added silencer, extended mag and reflex sight along with various other cosmetic changes.

First up. Extended mag for 15 more rounds of pew.

Some small changes on the flashlight.

Reflex sight. My personal favourite addition, this turned out exactly like I had pictured it.

Silencer. It's more of a bloc silencer than a round one, I think those look cooler anyway. Since it's only held in by a technic rod it's a little unstable.

View of the inside.

The bare bones gun with no accessories. Very boring.

View through the reflex sight. I wish I could get it to work.

Life Sized Pistol

   Maybe I'm out of practice but this thing was a pain to build. I literally gave up on it when it was still just the handle, then came back ten seconds later.
It's quite large, akin to the Desert Eagle or 1911.

Flashlight.

That trigger guard is a brace for the handle. So is that bump on the back and there's more support inside. And the handle's still a little weak.

The removable mag! This is what started the gun. It looks simple but it took me multiple tries. It's held in place with simple friction but it's solid.

The front sight. I wanted to make a reflex sight but quit after the second try.

It's fairly comfortable but kind of sharp in places.

APC

   It's been awhile since I tried my hand at an APC. This was inspired by lego APCs I've seen which were in turn inspired by the APC in the movie Aliens.

My only gripe is the fact that there are no mudguards.

The front. I knew I was going to tilt the windshield.
 
The sideways opening door. They have to kind of duck their head to get out.
 
I'm real happy with this remote controlled MG. Usually I don't build armament on my vehicles. 
 
The roof opens.

I took the roof off for this pic. As you can see it's a little cramped but there's room for four guys to sit down and one guy to stand up. The black helmet belongs to the MG/radio operator.
 
Windshield and roof removed to show the interior.
 
Now to show off some improvements to my other builds. First are the new boosters for my dropship.

And the folding landing gear and nose mounted gun.
 
And for my heavy mech I added two more guns under the nose and tacced out his two miniguns.

Group shot of all my Confederation forces. I'm planning to start adding on to my armies of Coalition and Confederation but right now my Confederation would be able to roll the Coalition.
