AO Lets figure out some new body designs!!!

[Coralis]

Voltron ... for those who dont know

This isn't going to be particularly popular on this board, but you will expand your market dramatically if you go with a milsim design. If you can come up with something along the lines of a AK47 and/or M4, you will have a ton of sales. Scenario ball is growing, and there is a market for good, reliable markers in that area. Every time I go to a scenario event and shoot Mags, there are more people wanting one. AO won't produce those type of bodies, so hopefully you can. I am PM'g you another idea I hope you will seriously consider based on Warwitch's suggestion regarding X7 mods.

And I have a kid who is 20 years old, and I caught the Voltron reference.

Voltron first thing that popped into my head was.... Thundercats


HOOOH :rofl:

[jakeman7676]

I love Thundercats!
You must make that body

[Bartman]

I guess this is where having a woodworking shop instead of a metal shop comes in handy.


If I get some spare time I'll give my shot at the Lionmag design...purely because I will fail and there will be lulz to go around. Now I just have to find a large AGD spec peice of doweling ^.^

Why round

you can use a block as long as it fits in the rail right?

Just teasing.

Xmagterror - before people get into this too far, is the Lion body even possible? It's badass, but seems like it'd be really hard to machine. If the Ripper bodies took 6-7 hours, this thing would be running all day and all night...

[FOG]

I would like tosee a body buil that is convertable from warp lft/rt/ an center like a xmag

[reflective]

A milsim style body would be sweet. Either something that looked similar to an actual smg reciever, or some type of hybrid between the minimag and tacone body. (might try to draw something up since I have a day off).
Of course I'd also love to see an sfl clone of some sort.

[TwilightG]

I think a ULE MiniMag clone would be sweet!
center-feed, of course.

I know it's not very original, but it's such a great style... I just don't care for the weight or the powerfeed of the existing body.
And since it would be aluminum, imagine the anno possibilities

To give it a more modern look, maybe throw in some nice milling touches.. like beveling around the front muzzle "slots" or some diagonal hash lines in the back. Kind of hard to explain and don't have a drawing.

Is it this time of year already?

[cougar20th]

What do people think of this. Its something Ive been meesing with. I did matching rail but that file is at home. I cant remember if the rail stayed at the same angle or reversed the angle of the design.

[Don Carnage]

ULE Minimag
A Warp ULE Minimag would be just too much awesome for any X-valve to handle.

[Warwitch]

Cougar: not bad. Maybe have a better effect if were a spiral design instead of a ribbed design (if that makes sense).

Somebody should do one that looks like thick, double stranded rope.

[phizz]

Voltron ... for those who dont know

Sweet I was hoping somebody would clue me in on that one.

I actually don't like the lion body no offence, but I do love cross-eyed's body!!

[Warwitch]

But it was not :

a really bad anime (Japanese animation).

I loved it! Well, the first version anyways. They did kind of cheese out on the second one.

But hey, if it werent for stuff like Voltron we wouldnt have Akira, Ninja Scroll, VHD, etc. (and no hentai either! )
