Bones' "The Leviathan" Project - The Beginning

For the past month or so i have been working on a project in my spare time... and i still cant think of a name for it!!!

Anyway i'm currently creating a custom marker, which fits my personal needs. On top of that i am 17 and have no job... therefore very little money, so i am trying to do most of the work myself. I wanted something that wouldn't be permanent and damage my marker body.

Rather than going milsim like everyone else on this planet i wanted to make something a little different... and considering i'm an arty farty person i decided to make my own ergonomic grip that actually looked cool. Its based off some custom stock air rifle type designs... Plus i want a performance BEEFCAKE.

All in all i am currently very pleased, the stock feels great, the grip feels great, it all feels great!!! Pics do not do it justice!

Current specs:
- Silenced internals
- Polished internals
- Custom stock (made from steel pipe) as seen
- Solid oak front grip
- Rap4 rail modded to accept rocket cock
- Rocket cock (obviously)
- Evil Pipe barrel kit (i love this barrel)
- Remote hose
- Pen spring trigger mod
- That rail thingy i forgot the name of (you can see it in the pics)

Future wantings:
- Rip clip/cyclone (which ever one comes my way cheapest)
- Laser (for epic coolness)
- Red dot (so i can actually aim)
- Regulator
- Thats all i can think of atm but will probs add more later once my brain starts to wake up!!

Anywho EYE CANDY!!!!!!!






It is still in the making and is a bit scruffy but tell me what you think dudes and dudettes! BTW i'm a serious perfection maniac so expect more pictures as the project progresses!

Also any project name ideas would be appreciated

Re: Bones' "untitled98" Project - The Beginning

wow, awesome work! That foregrip is amazing. Like Bear said, stain it. Personally, I'm not a fan of painted wood, I think stain looks better because it tends to enhance the look of the grain. Good work on the stock as well. Rep inbound for sure!

Re: Bones' "untitled98" Project - The Beginning

Did some more work on it today, tried to work that kink out of the stock... not perfect but its much less noticable now.

I was thinking whether to paint or stain the grip. Thing is the wood is strong as hell but its not the prettiest thing on the planet. You cant see from the pictures but its made from multiple pieces of wood slotted together (its from scrap left over from the kitchen we just did up). I'm not sure what it would look like stained but i will either stain it or sprey it matt black. Eventually i will put a weaver rail on the bottom of it, which should help fill my hand a little better when i hold it.

I was thinking of name and then it dawned on me when for some reason it reminded me of a fish... and then the name "Leviathan" came up in my mind.

Somehow Leviathan seems to suit it... any thoughts?
