    Well, after the vague success of my smaller BFG project, I decided to attempt to make TR Fort Max a custom weapon for 'bot mode. I've dubbed this project the EBFG (Even Bigger Fricking Gun)!

    I've already learned that I can't cut a straight line to save my ruddy life! hehe

    Just a lil update - have glued a couple of plates to the section I'm gonna attack a grip to; one plate covers the open end, and the other is what the grip will be attached to. I've also added a 5mm post to it, so it can attach to Fort Max in base mode!

    I also took a bit of a size comparison pic, next to CW Brawl:

    13/5 update; I've finally attached a grip n tab system to the gun, so Fort Max can finally hold his EBFG!

    Looks cool!
    If those bits on the business end are soft PVC, you might want to be sure that you're not using an enamel based paint. Soft PVC hates enamels.

    I can dig it. Feels like it needs some more kibble on top.

    I will be adding a few bits onto the back part of the gun, kinda like a rear sight. And I'll be using Citadel / GW paints..

    Looks great! I'm planning to build one, too, so this is a great concept piece for inspiration.

    Thanks @BANZAI - hopefully, I can get this prepped over the next few days for paint; I've got to trim down some excess glue, and sand most of it down..
