Hi thanks mate. I couldn't of done it with out the lone of the original G43 , 6X30 case and a ZF4 setup .

Just a few more pictures with my sniper set up , showing the home made G43 , ZF4 scope box and 6X30 bino case . http://i960.photobucket.com/albums/ae88/singletankman/e9fc30b8-0417-4420-be48-01343623273b_zpsb5de61d8.jpg http://i960.photobucket.com/albums/ae88/singletankman/983966a8-4946-4f1d-8294-c62...

Thanks mate its not quiet the weight of an original . And need to get some black leather.

Thanks Andy

I have just about finished this some areas of improvement still; need black leather straps and the paint came of the fixings on the leather pull cord and scratches in the plastic , not perfect but not to bad for a tricky little project. http://i960.photobucket.com/albums/ae88/singletankman/275c0665-...

I have now added some missing detail and fitted the lower cushioned pieces for the binos to sit on. I just need to add the four up right molded pieces and still need to make the hinge look like its a molded part of the case. All the parts that need to be removed prior to spraying can be removed . ht...

I have now secured the hing this still needs finishing so it looks a molded part of the case . Ive added the d rings and mounts , riveted on like the originals . First time Ive done riveting , secured the padded part in the lid . And also added the leather straps these are from a brown leather belt ...

Ive now added the rear metal work that forms the loops for the leather belt mounts . This is riveted to the case . And also the bottom lugs to clip the leather straps to. The hing requires more work to make it look part of the molded case. http://i960.photobucket.com/albums/ae88/singletankman/d74a0e...

Hi mate that's true I meant the wire pin mate I hate making them , more bino pics coming up later.

Andy

Nice work mate . The top pin looks tricky to shape I hate doing that type of thing along with D rings . But nice project .

Andy

I have now cut down the metal hing and mounted with small counter sunk bolts . The top has four fixings to allow the leather belt straps to be added . I have added the locking dimple for the spring catch , this was cut from one of my West German canteen sets . I drilled through it and added another ...

Ive now finished the three wooden ZF4 scope boxes so back on to this. After borrowing my mates original (thanks) I have re made the case . Here is how it is now I was hoping to keep the black as part of the colour but it required some filling :roll: . The latch is again a West German one . Its almos...

RIP Shifty deserves more reconition at least he gets it on here.
