Weapon designs for figures

[Venko]

I will take a little break, to clarify my next designs and enjoy the Easter holidays here

Here is the Stinger with separate sight and antenna folded and deployed:



Cheers!

I have ordered some 1:35 scale weapons by Venko and they arrived today.
Perfect fine details and ultrasharp printing. Great service also.
Highly recommended!

RJ

And Venko’s work in action..

 

[Venko]

Wow, that looks nice!

I made also GP-25 40mm grenade launcher for the AK's, and M24 sniper system based on the Remington 700 rifle:

 

[Venko]

The GP-25 launcher is ready, nicely printed and fits all of my AK's, except the shorter AKS-74U which is different construction. My PGO-7 sight also can be put on the AK:



Also the M24 sniper with and without bipod:



Cheers!

One of my favorite guns to shoot and looks perfectly done.

FN P90 printed and painted in 1/35, so tiny . I will print and paint also in 1/24 for presentation.

Received my order of 5 brown bess muskets with bayonets attached in 120mm scale... Very nicely done...

By the way, if you are interested in any of the weapons, you can buy directly from me. Just send me a PM.
Regards!

Answered my question before I even asked. Watching your releases

[Richard Baxter]

My grateful thanks to Venko for producing the Zweihander. I had been looking for one for a modelling project that I am engaged in and very helpfully offerred to produce one in 75mm for me.

If anyone is interested in the wider history of this fearsome weapon, I can heartily recommend "The Two-Handed Sword: History, Design and Use" by Neil Melville, published by Pen and Sword in the UK. You might also be interested by the following YouTube channels dealing with a whole range of antique weapons, their history and recreations of antique fencing techniques:

Scolagladitoria: here's alink to a sample video The Last Cavalry Sword REVIEW - M1913 Patton Saber & other WW1 swords - YouTube

Bjorn Ruther: sample video on antique fighting techniques, very useful reference for modelling combat using these weapons Learn the Art of Combat - Pike Fighting Techniques - Part One - YouTube

The Historical Fencing Channel Basic Parry of Liechtenauer's Longsword - YouTube

Hope that you find this of interest.

Actually I made a slight mistake with the Springfield rifle, it is model 1863 I designed, so here is the 1861 model:



There is minor difference in the form of small clamps on the stock for the bands that holds the barrel. Also the bands in the 1863 model are held with bolts.
But now I have the two models ready

 

[Nap]

Just amazing pieces

Great to see Richards got his sword as well

Springfield models 1861 and 1863 in 1/24:



Mossberg shotgun models 500 and 590 in 1/35:



Cheers!

 

[Venko]

Never did a cannon, so just for fun I designed a M1857 12-ponder Napoleon cannon, most favored by both Union and Confederate forces in the US civil war.
Still WIP, but the overall shape is ready

 

[Nap]

Look forward to seeing how this cannon progresses

Out of interest what about a Gatling gun as well ?

Happy creating

Gatling will be fun to do, wanted it for a time, just have to collect some references
