Step 4Building the connector
Ok, now we need to build the front of the gun, this is the section that connects the hinge parts, to the rail parts.
Its mainly constructed from the dense card that was used earlier.
Pictures 1,2 &3
- I cut out two custom shapes for the sides, This was made to match up with the rails ontop
- Cut out a front, and a top for this section
- PVA the hole lot together and wait to dry
Picture 4
- I glued and extra metal section to the top of the rails
- here you can see the two sections butting up against each other.
Picture 5, 6 &7
- Then added a further magnetic metal piece, which i then created a matching shape for the two section to lock together.
- I then drilled several holes into the top of the connector, and glued magnets into these holes thus holding the two sections closed and together. (see tags if unsure of magnet placement)
