1/48 Gunpod costumization

[Ido]

Someone has ever modified the gunpod strap to have a different way to attach the gun? The rings thing sucks so I'm thinking about replace the thing with tiny policaps. Suggestion?

I already completely disassembled the gunpod.

ps

I used the searching function but i didn't find nothing.

Ido,

Here you go:

Five min. Easy gun strap mod

Missing gunstrap ring

Definetly I had to use gun strap as search word and not gunpod

The idea isn't bad, If what I have in mind don't work i'll go for that way.

What tipe of glues are fine for the gunpod strap and the gunpod body? It was (badly) glued togheter with some super glue, but I wonder if plastic cement will work on it, I plan to do a seamless painted GU-11.

I would say model glue plus some filler for smoother sanding.

You can epoxy if never ever intend to split again. While SUPER HARD, it can be tough to sand.

Thanks Neova, I'll order what I need from HLJ within the week, The gunpod is inteded to never split again, I opened it just for simplify the modification and the painting, there is no complicate mechanism in the gunpod so I suppose I don't have to dissamble it in the future for fixing.

Indeed the 1/48 Gu-11 is a piece of art, but i'm pissed by the rings system and how is crappy glued togheter,

I'll post pics of the finished work.

[do not disturb]

you crazy kids.

if you got more than one 1/48, just keep a few of the gunpods with the straps attached, a few w/o. then just switch the gunpods around amongst the valks.

if you only got one valk, then try and score an extra gunpod.
