Quint speargun making thread

[Les Walker]

Decided last night to do all spearguns for $50 each.
Best price I can do. That's $20 less than I charge for a headpaint for twice the work. A deal in anyone's book.

This will be the only lot I do though, so to get the rifles from Cotswold, I do need the commitment of whoever wants one soon, so I can order the rifles. I need a headcount of who's in, and I will get them asap. $5 each for now. As many as want one please let me know. As for paying for the finished speargun, if you want, I can do a $35 "kit" that is all the parts made and prepped for you to make yourself and paint. That's remodeled stock, barrel tube, speargun tube with tip barbs. You do the rest.
If I make them, it's $50 total. But I need your $ for the rifle order as soon as you can. And a list here asap of who is in for sure for one.

Thanks.
Les

Hell.

Okay, I'm in.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Les, thank you for taking on the ordering process for the spearguns. As you know, I couldn't really order without at least 7 guys to make the $25 minimum so that's great.

Josh chimed in on the other thread that he wants one too.

Les' SPEARGUN LIST:
1. Wor-Gar

[Les Walker]

Thanks Greg. Keep it going if need be. I will be out tomorrow, due to Ma going to two out of town docs, but I will keep up.
Thanks all. Hope to start this soon.

 

[MaulFan]

No, thank you Les, this is the Quint-essential accessory for the Quint figures, but no easy task to accomplish, so I very much appreciate that you're even offering to do it, saves me screwing up and getting nowhere and gives the comfort of knowing it's in the hands of a master gun maker

 

[Les Walker]

You're a silly man.
But thanks. I'll cover you bro.
Great recent photos BTW!

 

[pjam]

Yep Josh, that's the one. I picked one up like a year ago thanks to the one and only paulcarson. I hope to have this done too when Quint time comes around. Thanks so much for the tutorial Les. It's beautiful

Count me in Bro, I was hoping you could. And that garage of yours is also a thing of beauty now.

I wasn't ready for this so soon, good news. Already chimed in but now it's official. Guess I'll ship mine out with Kristanna, Les.

 

[Les Walker]

No probs Paul. Glad to see you aboard!

I'll be away today, taking Ma to two doctors out of town. So, if anything changes (hope not) I'll catch up with it tonight.
Hope to help you guys out with this one. Email sent Paul Carson. Let me know your status when you can. No rush bro.

 

[Wor-Gar]

This came up in the other thread, so I'm psoting where it belongs. Below is the list for the upgrade:

Les' SPEARGUN LIST:
1. Wor-Gar
2. Maulfan

4. Darkartist
5. pjam basic

Here is a list of who need a rifle ordered from Cotswold as well:

Les - please order a Martini Henry Rifle for:

1. Wor-Gar
2. Maulfan

Not sure who else above also needs the rifle and who has one already, besides Paul Carson and maybe Pjam.

 

[MaulFan]

Thanks for sorta taking the reigns with this information Greg, I was a little confused, I thought the first list we started was to try and get enough people who needed guns to meet the order min you came accross and then it sounded like that wasn't what was going on, so I want to make sure I get money to whoever and whenever to keep the train rolling instead of stalling it out

 

[Les Walker]

I will need the money soon then. From all interested parties. Make sure we leave no one out, as I will fill out the rest of the order when I make it, so please, get your name in soon and let me get that order done. After I have ordered, you are on your own! (Probably can fill out a minimum with other stuff one time, but I doubt twice....)

Have see settled on an order price yet? Or do you guys want to pay the whole amount and just let me get started?

 

[Wor-Gar]

I can send the full payment for the rifle and work as soon as you're ready to order, Les.

$5 - for rifle + shipping to Les
$50 - for fully functioning speargun that shoots, pulls rope, and drags barrell, plus electronic sound.

[Les Walker]

OK, I'm ready (to order at least!)
Sean is ready to pay for his, so send any $$ to my Paypal and I will get these ordered PRONTO! Today if possible, depending of if I get some cash in my PP soon enough.

My PP is [email protected] and above are the prices, with and without a gun price. If you have a gun already, and want me to make it, mail it to me PRONTO. Pm me for my addy if you don't have it already.

Let's get these rolling!

 

[Les Walker]

Ordered FIVE Martini Rifles today. That covers the three listed and opens up for two more not listed, so let me know. I just did it. Five was as easy to order as three.
I will make all five also, so anyone interested in those two others when they are completed, let me know.

I will let you all know when I have started the project.

 

[MaulFan]

Thanks for the update Les, and again, thanks for doing this for us.

 

[Les Walker]

No problemo! I'll let you all know when they arrive and I start on them.
Anyone with their own rifle that wants it converted needs to send it to me soon so I can work on it with the others.

 

[Les Walker]

FIVE Martini Henrys are IN! Came in today! SO, anyone not yet paid for their custom Quint speargun...NOW WOULD BE A GOOD TIME!
Working on them this weekend...among other things...hope to have all Brodys done, and a good start on the spearguns too by the end of the weekend.

 

[Les Walker]

Quint gun progress...

Before shot with my Quint Gun and one of the rifles (sling removed)

Barrels lopped off...

As they are now...

Got dremeling and putty work and then more dremeling, then tube work...
Then paint.
Going well. Progress as I have it.
