Blade MAC11 full metal

[Rufus72]

Here I want show another project of mine. The MAC11 MP from the first Blade movie.

It‘s based on the Denix replica model. I had to modify this on several parts. All additional parts are made from aluminium

I started with this. I managed to get an additional magazine. I wanted to build it with a long and a short mag.

I made the housing from 2mm aluminium sheets, all the rest is milled

Here are all parts and a test fit of them.

The half rounded parts on the housing were a little tricky. I made them as round parts, cut them in half and milled the from the back. They are screwed to the housing.

And here‘s the completed thing. I‘m happy how it turned out.

Please tell me what you think of it.

impressive work.I am building an airsoft version out of abs but my band saw has given up the ghost and i can't cut a a straight line with a dremel
to save myself.

Thank you and cool idea doing an airsoft version.

Maybe an idea to Try to build yours with styrene sheets. They are much easier to work with. You just need a cutter knife and a ruler.

Great to see some Blade props!! That movie doesn't get enough credit for revitalizing comic movies in it's time. The gun looks incredible. Good work!!

Wow - really inspiring. Your work is beautiful - I hope to work more with metals but currently I don't have the required machines.

Thanks. Working with metal is a real passion of mine. I love it making a prop completely from metal.

Thanks. Working with metal is a real passion of mine. I love it making a prop completely from metal.

I am new here and just started posting. I come from terrain / diorama builds and over the last year moved into props and objects but with my main medium being compressed foam. Looking forward to seeing all this amazing work by everyone!

Very cool work! Would you ever consider doing a break down video? I'd love a kit for the front end some day.
