    I'd been thinking about how to make the receiver cap for the back of the MP5;

    Hopefully a pair of pliers n i can bend it to shape, it should hang right from the sling then :smile:

    Ok pic heavy apologies it wouldnt let me make a college :(
    First set of shots are making the attachment point for the sling but i think i may change this
    Then cutting off the old magazine to install a banana magazine with secondary mag
    Masked it up for spraying so the metal parts look glossy like metal
    Then put the torch, scope and red dot sight on, i quite like it
    Finishing touches will be red masking tape around the magazines for 'live' rounds as homage to Die Hard and a better sling attachment point as well as painting the markings on the trigger frame for the firing modes
    Oh and i put my patrol cap with Umbrella pin badge in the shot too :happy:

    I've already said how stupidly amazing this is, so I'll just applaud.

    FInished off the MP5
    Recoloured my flakjak (mil-spec) goggles
    Made my green, red and blue herbs for my med kit, sadly my syringes didn't arrive so that is this weeks task with the sewing machine :happy:

    So now this is winding up and I will finally be taking some pictures of the full costume all together I thought I would throw it open. Cape and me have been talking about what else I would carry and I am subsequently working on;

    Biohazard Response Kit
    First Aid Spray
    Typewriter Ribbon
    A piece of garnet or something else

    Basically things from the game - anything else anyone can think of that would marry cosplay up with this outfit - oh and I need to make a yellow herb as well - hopefully my syringes are here today so I can crack on with my med kit, hope everyone likes it so far :laugh:
