Well guys, after a long week, this configuration is finally finished, Im still sourcing parts to build the vehicle mount, so stay tuned for that. Ill let the pictures do the talking for now. Enjoy!

Couple more pics before I go to bed, More updates coming soon! Thanks again everybody for the positive comments, Its really great motivation and very welcoming o me as a newcomer to the forum, Look forward to posting some more armor and vehicle related projects. . .still thinking about doing a...

Thanks man! That's my goal, I want this thing to be so real looking that I cant walk outside with it, well I live in South Carolina so it wouldn't be the strangest thing people have seen from my block haha. You know, as much pvc and metal that's in this thing it feels real too, its got a lot of...

Thanks Jeremy! also , even though the paint work isn't finished, I just couldn't resist slapping it together and putting it on the coffee table to snap some pics, shes almost there(yes my minigun replica is a "she", although I need to giver her a name)

Will do Ahab! Thanks again man, and its always cool with me, if people are viewing, Im cool with that, and if they want to ask questions, even better! Its nice to just show some fellow tread heads(gear heads, metal monsters, armor afficianados. . . .I cant think of any more) my work. Plus this...

Here are a couple of closer shots, Ive put some more weathering on it, Im gonna knock it back a little bit with my airbrush, but overall we are getting closer to be finished

Thanks Papabear, Thank Marchplumber and Arialfred! Im making a mount for this to go on an old tripod I have, the alternate mount with dual inverted pistol grips(or would that be pistol grips set the right way, um uninverted?) Now Im seriously considering making the Dillion Aero version, just...

Dude, thank you so much! Most of the model kits I posted are 1/35 scale kits (with the exeption of the M10, which is a Tamiya 1/48th) and all of the figures are modified, with some scratchbuilt and sculpted detail. I make a lot of the accessories myself out of styrene and sculpt a lot of...

Hmm well Ive never thought about that, but In the neighborhood of $500 to $700. I know that sounds like a lot, but having to build this beast from scratch involves a lot of man hours! There are a few thing I could probably do differently now to save time and work, but Ive got about 200 hours...

OK heres a couple more then back to some more updates on the M134 this weekend. Im sourcing some parts for the pivot mount and rear grips for the vehicle mount, but Iv e done a little more painting on it and will show you guys this sunday. BTW Im new to the forum and I don't want to break any...

Thanks man! Well I ve been building models and repainting props and scratchbuilding props for almost 20 years now. I started and still build 1/35 scale armor and figures. also dabble in SciFi figures and vehicles. A buddy of mine wanted some custom work done on a star wars prop so that's how I...

Have you seen a resin replica? If so Id like to know where, I know that a couple of companies have made metal airsoft versions, and they are super nice and very accurate, but they cost like $1500. Id be curious to see a resin 1/1 scale replica!

Thanks for all the positive comments guys! this has been a tough project and I hope it helps anyone who has wanted one of these mini monsters mounted on their vehicles :-D Here are some shots of the barrels, once again this is just the first stage of major painting, there are many more layers...

Here are some close ups of the delinker, feeder, as stated in an alternate thread, this is a complex assembly to scratchbuild, but if you take your time and just build it piece by piece, its not to bad. I just started with three different sizes of pvc pipe and started adding layers of styrene...

Alrighty then! Yes I have yet to see any replicas of the M134 that aren't the $1500 airsoft versions. Since I didn't have that much cash to drop on a replica, and with M134's being mounted on a lot of mraps and Humvees as of late, I really wanted to build a super accurate version for myself. So...

Thanks guys, and thanks Warthog, I was starting to feel a little unwelcome here but yall have done a great job of helping out. The basic gun is a true to form M134 replica, and I have a 1/6 scale version that basically can be switched between vehicle mounted and hand held. The pintle vehicle...

Nice! thanks Ahab
