This is my favourite Power 5 build. The aluminum casting really makes it look like the prop compared to something like Denix, while still having some nice weight to it like a real weapon.
I tired to replicate this particular prop, including some smaller details like the little rod and "pin head" above the pulley, as well as the mauser stamps and the serial number.
I've used as many vintage correct parts as I could find. The only replica greeblies are the wannawanga square buttons. I've initially built this with some found buttons, but they were not that tall so I eventually swapped them with the nice WannaWanga replicas once they came out.
The "spikes" below the pulley are from used Michell turntable rubber feet and I've added some additional material on top to restore the shape as they were pretty worn and crushed from use.
Here's the list of parts that I've used for the build:
Vintage aluminum Mauser C96 casting, I believe these were made by Lytle Novelty Co.
Vintage original Tomtit kit greeblies - 2x "cylinders" , 1 "pontoon", 2x "antennas"
Vintage Michell 60hz Pulley
Vintage Michell rubber feet
Vintage DIN Plug
Vintage Coiled Cable
2x WannaWanga square buttons
Blaster Factory aluminum bull barrel and flash hider.
