he MP40 is still chugging along. I had a few setbacks due to a loose extruder arm. I gotta upgrade that extruder to a dual gear one. AND I dropped the barrel a couple of times and broke it. After that the overall strength was shot! Printing a new one with more of an infill and more walls. Right now it is just a pile of parts on the workbench

FINALLY started on the MG42. I printed the stock on the Elegoo Neptune 2D. With the dual extruders I was able to print the infill with cheap Amazon Basics white PLA and the outer skin with the more expensive (and running low) Wood Fill PLA.
It took longer to print but the savings with the Wood PLA was great!!! Ant the fucker is solid! I'm going to give it to Nikki to put a nice stain on it. The Wood Fill PLA takes stains almost as good as real wood.
The Luger P08 is DONE! Took a while and it really didn't come out exactly how I wanted. Between the holidays, having 3 or 4 other print projects going and a couple of computer projects going on all at the same time I kinda rushed this one. IT doesn't really function at all, mostly just a static display. Maybe I'll revisit this one later on and redo it.
Got my P90 put together, painted and mounted. The question now is whether to leave it as is or give it a camo job. I know I did say I was going to do a digital, but I am feeling lazy and will most likely do a free hand camo. Possibly with Green and Grey. If I can get a hold of some mesh netting I may give that a try for a snake skin kinda look.
