Looking fantastic! That's a great 3D print

Looking awesome, I love Traywick's 3D kit. The fact that the barrel breaks over and latches is sick haha

Thanks! Great kit, right? And it's a solid latch too.

Thanks! I've had my eyes on it for a few months. It didn't disappoint.

Is there a lot of extra room in the left gauntlet?

There's a fair amount. I added a decent amount of padding to both gauntlets.

I finally finished my new EE-3! I'm very pleased with the result. I'll be refining the paint soon, but otherwise it's done.

Recipe:
- Traywick Designs 3D printed Webley flare gun
- Cheap scope off eBay (probably will upgrade eventually)
- scope mounts/rings/Molex connectors from Sidewinder
- Roman's MPP flash tube
- Greeblie set (Revell V8 arm recast, mystery disk, recast Unimax switches and AM plugs) from Neo Prop Shop
- Lanyard rings and swivel studs kitbashed from Amazon
- Rifle sling from Hobby Lobby... or Marshall's... or Joann Fabrics (RIP). I can't remember lol. It's the one i made for my previous EE-3.

Speaking of, look how small my first rifle is. I'm so glad to have this upgrade. Even if it is incredibly front heavy lol.

Side note: the 3D printed Webley barrel was thicker than I anticipated. So, the inner diameter was too small for the flash tube. I still don't own a Dremel, so I had to sand the ever-loving hell out of the inner barrel. Holy God, I'm glad that's over.

I tweaked the paint today. Here are some better photos under natural light. I added the wire to the bottom of the front scope mount as well.

Fantastic!! Nice work. Adding all of the greeblies really brought it together. This is probably my favorite part of the costume to paint/weather.

I actually wish that I wouldn't have gotten rid of my 3D printed EE-3....it was much nicer to carry around troops for several hours than my resin/metal ones!

Thanks!! It has been a lot of fun to paint. I'm confident it will compliment the rest of my costume... if I can ever finish it. Lol

I can only imagine trooping with a resin/metal rifle. I've even considered rigging up a plastic flash hider to remove the weight of the MPP tube. But you just can't beat a real one, or a real replica, I should say.

New pics! I readjusted the scope, unscrewing the eyepiece, gluing it to the knurled ring and extending it as far as it would go. I was then able to slide the scope and rear mount back, closer to where they need to be. I also reinserted the screws from the rear mount to match the other set.

I got to suit up yesterday. The flightsuit still needs some stitching on the sleeves, shin tool pockets, belt-hanging pockets, and to be dyed blue and weathered. My nephew helped me with my jetpack, and then my son took some really nice pictures. This was an informative experience as I learned a number of things that need reworking/reinforcing. You can probably see the Scotch tape on the flamethrower in a few shots. I FINALLY got around to adding screws so it won't keep falling off.

It was really fun to see how excited my cousins were to watch me go from Uncle Josh to Boba Fett.
