nows to the time to tell me any mistakes ive made and help me correct em!

Okay, I'm seeing a few errors. There is a gap between the magazine housing and receiver that should not be there.

The front sight is the wrong shape, and the backsight could be better.

The new barrel nut is much better.

As mentioned, the cocking handle/slot is in the wrong place, and need some re-shaping.

The area where at the rear (where the sling would go through) is not quite right on the outside. more rounded, not so vertical.

The 'Strap' over the rear receiver tube could be wider and has a hole in it.

I hope that's at least a bit helpful. Your previous designs have all been wonderful, lets make this one a winner too.

Any progress on this? it's looking very promissing.

It sure did look promising and awaiting the request for builders here.

Thats ok, the desert eagle i was looking at that as you know. I wish i jumped in but was out of ink then when you were looking for builders but now I got lots of magenta blue and yellow and black stuff now here and lots of time to work on it if you want can pm me and i can just get working on it straight away and i would post the build pics if you like a build thread here.

I was wondering if this project went a bit further? It really is a wonderful design of a pretty unique piece. I'd love to see this come to life, so to speak!

Cheers!

I was wondering what is the best way for a beginner paper model designer to design his own paper models.
