A Different Hot of the Mill Emag Extreme

[MajorDamage]

How do I put it...Fugly? Pug Fugly? Yes that will do. The other one was much better...This is pretty pug fugly.

ENDO!

[FooTemps]

This one just looks weird. I like the other one better.

[Failure]

The other was the aztec design, this one should be labeled as the pelican design. Look at the back of the gun, it looks like a pelican beak. Or sperm whale head.

[FooTemps]

I'd like to see a smoother and flowing design. Some are too sharp or the carving doesn't flow together well.

[RSUAVE911]

I kinda do not like that back of the gun so much...I do not like the way the valve is exposed so much...I agree with headcase on what he said...It kinda looks like you are just cutting just to make it lighter.


Big improvedment from the previous AZTEC DESIGN.

I think on the front of the gun, you should carve it so it looks like its swallowing the barrel, kinda like what you did in the back, but different. (not sure how).

BIG IMPROVEMENT FROM LAST GUN...KEEP IT UP!!

[845]

Big improvement from the last one. Good job keep up the good work.

[mrhooie]

me likey

me likey alot

[Mr. T!]

What's up with the trigger and the trigger frame? It looks completely retarded and out of place in terms of the guns apperance!

[Vil3]

i honestly thought the first looked a whole lot better

[prikkaboo]

i see most people dont really like it, but i think it looks really cool. i like how the back looks like it lifts up. it seems to have a good flow to me. like a futuristic anime mecha look. (much like neon genesis evangelion for those who watch) i think it looks really cool. maybe a little more work but that sweeping back end rules. i agree with those who said the frame shouldnt have grooves. they seem too restrictive, like theyre telling your fingers where to go. just like with the bushmasters vs. defiant frames, the bushmaster feels much more comfortable to me, and if you want grooves you have a choice with dye stickies but your not forced to have em. if you ever wanna sell that prototype body let me know.hehe

[DiRTyBuNNy]

I haven't spoken at all yet...because i'm poor and i'm still waiting to get all my minimag parts in so i can finish it (i've been waiting for almost 6 weeks now..nobody's fault..the intelli's are worth waiting and my superbolt is sitting on the floor in my room still in the bag from AGD)...I personally like this design..i like how it flows and i think that it shows a lot of promise...but the only thing i would like to see if the backend closed up a little bit more...using the pelican analogy from before, I would like the mouth to be closed a little more..it just looks like a little bit too much of the valve is showing.I also like the square battery pack...just mill some slight finger grooves in the front end of it and it will all be good...and as far as people saying that a lighter X-Mag is better..then you've never held an extreme yet..i had a chance to hold an SFL at the CalJam last year..and that sucker was so slight you would swear to yourself it wasn't an *ss heavy mag...but oh well...i digress...

NO WAY DOES THAT LOOK EVEN CLOSE TO SOMETHING FROM EVANGELION!

[prikkaboo]

ok maybe not

hehe ok maybe it doesnt look like evangelion, but it does remind me of their mechas hehe. closest thing i could think of. certainly not gundam. it reminded me of how they looked mechanical yet still had a pretty organic feel to em.

Hello Everyone Well I'm back posting under my own nick. I think I doubled John Sosta's post count in the few days I was down there!

Manike-we discussed roughing out an extreem body with excess amounts of aluminum specifically for carving. Any chance you mentioned that to John yet?

I'm working on them There is little chance or a square block to work from at the moment (I'm working on that too) but it is looking more likely that in the future I will have basic extrusions without any of the cosmetic cuts toi work from.

p.s. I thought you might like the Aztec style one.

Yep, you are looking at things straight off the mill. Here you often loose the shape because raw aluminium doesn't photgraph well. It will also make you think you see things that are not there just due to how the tool has cut the metal.

Even as I type the first prototypes are on their way to be polished/blasted and annodised. I'll bet they photograph better then.
