FBM Build Thread (we build 3 FBM Spyders)

Subbed for surprises.

Here is the start of my mock-up

[Myrkul]

Probably outlaw, and probably some kind of splash. They did our last batch and it came out awesome!

I have two FBM bodies in the build phase as well. One of the bodies is the hydrodipped ones, the other from elsewhere.

What anno are you planning?

Must have MOAR!

Here is were I'm at with this.... Still gathering parts.



The CCM Feedneck unfortunately has 2 random ass holes drilled in it (maybe to help with blowback?) It's been in my parts bin forever.

The Diamond Labs was a recent shopgoodwill acquisition. It's beat to absolute hell and looks like it was sanded in several places, but should clean up pretty decent.

I DO have a master plan at this point, and it involves a female stabilizer that has already been ordered for REASONS, but I am flexible and open to additional suggestions!

Looking forward to seeing them completed.

Lots of Citristrip has been used.

So how bad where these. Quite bad. Many layers of paint and hydro dip.

Alright, thanks to the amazing skills of nobbie333 , he, myself and Myrkul all now have matching tear drop FBM bodies. These will be a recovery project as they were used for hydrodip tests and have multiple layers of paint and dip to remove. We are working to recover them, build them up and them have them all annoed to match. Something tells me the board might want to watch the adventure. More to come.
