well from my point of view the f2000 will be a decent base but the hop-up needs replacing and modifications to the gearbox to allow other mags

[john]

You are talking about a major conversion though so at this stage a few modifications to the hop and gear box are minor jobs.

[mihangelion]

well the front end i intend to build so they can be removed (quite easy to do) but yeh the rest are minor. im just gonna start wit hthe f2000 then make armour then develop the weapon

[john]

On the note of developing the F2000 I saw some foam insulation in B&Q that should give a very good base for the barrel system. If I get in again anytime soon I'll try and get a photo.

[mihangelion]

its ok about the pictures i work in Wickes, B&Qs Rival so i can get hold of any materials for cheap

anyway i know what you mean. i have seen a few things that would be ace to support the barrelt im just trying to find something decent to make the aesthetics with

[john]

It was the aesthetics that I was referring to, didn't make that clear did I.

[mihangelion]

oh lol i just miss read it lol. yeh foam is a good idea but if it ever gets shot then the bbs would pass straight through it and i dont think it would be very sturdy

[john]

What it gives is the shape, then a mold can be made and either a glass fibre or plastic one can be formed. Of course your going to need temps of around 270°C to cure the fibre but it'll be a hell of a lot stronger than plastic.

[mihangelion]

ahhhh thats makes more sense. i can get styrofoam not a problem from university for now as its very easy to shape etc.

I am looking at doing the same thing for the armour too but am unsure how to go about the helmet tho

[john]

Did you see the one I put together as a possible Eldar lid? I have had a look at a few Pball suppliers and saw a full head covering pball mask, I think its £30 (not 100% sure on the price) that might do with a bit of modification.

[mihangelion]

yeh that eldar lid gave me an idea. if you attached the full face to this one: www.zerooneairsoft.co.uk/erol/images/zerooneweb/product_images/GP354/image.jpg

and then add some modification i think it would work it since it already has the required basics in shape

[john]

£35 plus the cost of the mask (£16) around £50 for the lid, I think this could be a long term kit build.

[mihangelion]

yeh deffinately one for the future

[john]

But the look will be well worth the effort.

[mihangelion]

it will indeed. i plan to do some not jst one of the alien races but im using tau as a starting point
