Offworld 2019

[clutch]

That is some hardcore stuff right there!

[hirohawa]

Looks awesome. What are you using to cut the Aluminum?

Hi All,

I can't seem to find the correct knobs for the side cover so i have narrowed down 2 for selection.

Please feel free to comment.

Now back to the alloy dust.



I will be modding the "binding post" Knob head to remove the Phillips notch.

The other knob has a definate firearms/military style to it which I like.

I think those will work great. They look pretty cool as is.

OMG it's been nearly a year since the last post on this one so I better update the build progress.

2 wee people seem to take up all my time

Sorry about the quality of pictures using an iphone in bad light.


unfinished alu butt


Polished metal parts, triggers now grooved.


Blued/ blackend metal parts. Picture does not do justice to the finish on these parts. Don Parker Barrel and bolt(not shown)Thx Don.


Plastic parts depainted, sanded, repainted. Blued metal front post.


not much left of the original Offworld


Repainted cylinder still plastic looking for cheap real one.


Side cover with cut out blued real e88 "other knob" and custom slot head screw.


Other cover with mspaw sight rod. Thx mspaw.


Custom 5 LED ammo clip with grooved led clips and painted switch.

More to come from the wee hours of late night prop production.
"Props Made while the family sleeps...."

Hey Photech you are doing a stirling job here mate!

I guess by the time you are done we will see the ultimate version of this blaster… !

Cheers for sharing and looking forward to seeing how you go from here.

Regards

MARK

Yes, yes, yes and yes! Great job Photec ; we can see the effort and the love you're putting on that baby.

[Photech]

Thank you for the kind words
Some more pics of the test assemble, it has a nice weight to it already.
I am looking forward to holding it again.
Don, your barrel and bolt are things of beauty and a must for offworld rebuilds.
You can see the finish better in these shots.

Your gun is coming along nicely. I had read this thread a while
back and then kind of forgot about it. It's great to see what
you've done. It should be a real looker.

Don

[joberg]

It's getting better by the post It's true that Don has done a great job on those parts: it makes the gun way sharper!

[Hasenbrau]

Wow! You'd never know it was an Offworld now just to look at it. I love the progress pics - super cool.

[Photech]

Just finished off the receiver safety switch.

Punctated sent me a pewter copy of the original offworld one.
after alot of sanding and file work it turned out pretty good
for my level of mod-jitsu.







Old plastic offworld at rear.
Hard to get a good shot.

Thanks Thomas.

This is a part that someone needs to make metal replacement versions of in bulk. I could use a copy of the real Steyr for a few different guns.

Andy

[punctated]

Looking good

[Photech]

Now attached to the receiver, just gripframe and butt to go.

Then I need to workout were all the screws go

SNAP! Love it; good work indeed...I think I speak for everybody here when I say that we're all eager to see that baby completed

[DonParker]

Photech, just remember that the 2 small screws that attach the
barrel to the side of the steyr receiver are kind of difficult to
start. Once you get one started start the other and then tighten
them down alternately. They should be alright. Lookin good
though and I can't wait to see the finished product.

Don

[Photech]

Yet another update, getting close to completion now.
Just a final paint and detail.






Custom alloy inner grip handle, trigger guard and butt plate.
Not as prefect as the Don parker items but good enough for this "used build"



Custom ammo clip with brass washer on grub screw(little big have to file down)

BTW thx for the screws Rich.
