It's good to see you back. And I look forward to building your MG34.

Welcome back, Nothing! I'm looking forward to watching you complete the MG. I've looked at 3D files myself and I think it's beyond my current abilities, I will definitely be getting one when you release it

thanks guys.I know its been awhile and sorry for the frustration. Life got real......complicated. sometimes a break is good. watching some of the builds recently got me excited about the hobby again.

anyway- i had several pages of instructions done (2 years ago) and solely looking at those started a retest build.

That's looking just as nice as your original one

No apologies nor explanations needed, you have to choose your priorities and stick to them. I'll offer my support no matter what your decision.

Looks good Trent. Sometimes a break is just what is needed to get the creative juices flowing again.

I owned a couple of these......overheating wasn't as great an issue as talked about......depending on the discipline (and experience) of the gunner.......and let me say that one of the sweetest days of my collecting life was getting a '34, unfired, new, in its metal container.

I was a 60 gunner for a bit in the US Army..Barrel overheating was an issue and why i had to carry the spare barrel and the asbestos glove as well! Great work Nothing, looking forward to this very much!
