PMG Tournament Final - SIA AK-X "Cyberian"
Well folks, here it is, my entry for the final round of the 1st ever PMG tournament.
There’s been blood, there’s been sweat and there have very nearly been tears over the last few months (the magazine on this build is testament to that, pesky delete button) to get to this point. I’ve come up against some awesome builders and am truly grateful to everyone who has progressed me this far with their votes.
This is by far the most detailed, thought out and pain-in-the-ass build I’ve posted so far and even if this is the end of the line for me I had a hell of a lot of fun building it. All in, it’s taken at least 48 computer hours to get everything sitting pretty and, with both sides twinned, the code comes in at exactly 645 pages.
I picked Cyberpunk, WW2 Era (The AK-47 was designed in 1944; haters gone hate, am I right?) and Tactical as my chosen elements for this build.
In addition, I have utilised all three building styles; 3D, Shapework and Part Use
3D: Heat shield, sling mount, barrel shine, flashlight and mount
Shapework: Flashlight and mount, scope, mid receiver, magwell monitors, magazine, stock, LHS upper receiver and charging handle.
Part Use: Sling mount constructed from grip mounts, compensator built from rail parts, stock built from F2000 lower receiver and RDS as a hand stop.
I’ll admit I was a bit stumped with the innovation aspect of the criteria; how do I reinvent the wheel? I think I’ve used standard parts in some pretty creative ways and had to really master blending and colour matching – the stock may look simple but there’s hours of work in there getting the AK stock to blend correctly with the F2000 lower. I also created a new alphabet style for the lettering on the magwell monitors. I’ll leave the final verdict on innovation up to the judges.
Make sure to view it in Lightbox for crisper details (I’ll find you and make you do it if you don’t) and also please check out the links to the larger individual pictures:
In case you can’t make it out, the LHS magwell monitor shows Full Auto Mode: Selected, Safe Mode: Engaged and Awaiting Directive.
One final thing; NO that is not a grenade in the scope.
Hope you like it lads and ladettes!
