Wow! Now, they’re really rolling! And all you guys finally get your tanodized HK! Kind of a belated X-Mas present from E&S, huh?!
I’m in a fix about which version(s) to buy, now. Certainly A and this one. There’ll probably be a run for this one’s rifle as a loose part, because everyone will want to get the upper for modding other rifles, I guess. I will do the same, if I can get my hands on some.
I’m just happy to have a more current and hopefully easier to find multicam jacket. I was going to use the multicam arc’teryx LEAF jackets from the SS PJ figure for 3 of my tier 1 bashes, along with the DAM 78065 version of the jacket as well since I am only able to source 2 of the SS jackets. I would first need to know if DEVGRU uses them, but if so I would be able to use this new Wild Things jacket to fill in that last spot, or even get three of them as my jackets instead.
The AVS and Wilcox riser make this a must buy for me, but has anybody else noticed the PTT has Ztac branding on it? Not a big deal or anything, I just find it strange they would use an airsoft brand instead of the proper TEA one. Maybe just a placeholder for copyright/legal reasons?
More of an issue of accessibility. ITAR means you get companies sometimes relying on airsoft examples of gear to build their 3d model. One would hope things like that would get corrected in final tooling but it doesn’t always happen.
Nice to finally have the tanodized CAG-spec 416, should make a lot of people happy while they wait for the LVAW or KAC rifles.
I understand the actual item being needed to model it in 1/6, but couldn’t they just look at pics of the real one and use that as an example for branding marks? Unless there’s some technical reason I’m unaware of, I don’t see it being that hard to just google pics and use those as reference for markings. It doesn’t bother me much, just a nit pick is all.
There is no technical reason you can’t modify till your heart’s content once you have your 3D model in whatever CAD software being used. It’s just a question of time and attention to detail. It’s easy to do a 3D scan of the item then downscale rather than build a model from scratch but depending on the reference sample you end up with inaccuracies like molded airsoft trades or size issues as some airsoft examples are not to 1:1 scale.
Preorder photos sometimes use prototypes that get changed later, DAM for example used Tokyo Marui models for their early glock tooling and the prototypes used in their preorder photos for that particular figure still bore the Tokyo Marui trademarks before being corrected in the final product.
I’m certain now that E&S has been visiting this site, given the rifle and its accessories.The riser is certainly enticing, although I would have to repaint it.
