Thanks everyone
ya i'll be weathering it when i get my airbrush, then i'll go at it with a few techniques learned from the boards on weathering.
Big thanks to all the people who do these scratch builds and have posted their progress along the way and inspired me to take this on myself, I know it's not 100% spot on acurate but until I can afford the Holy Grail of EE-3's (the Hyperfirm) this will suffice.
Thanks again
BTW this was made using the toy gun method, PVC pipe, bondo, cheap 4x15 scope, funnel (barrel tip), oak (the stock), white plastic cutting board (stock connector) various nuts, bolts, washers, screws. Was a blast to do and figure out a few hurdles along the way but all in all I think it came out rather well, I even made the stock greeblies myself out of a "NO Parking" sign and a few washers and krazy glue.
