Making of the P90 Model 98 Phase 1

I have decided to share how I modified a Tippmann Model 98 to fit and function inside an airsoft P90. For all of you Stargate SG-1 fans this is a must read.

To start off I bought a Airssoft P90 for $30 on eBay; and a Model 98 on ebay for $60. You don't need to have a brand new Tippmann 98 to do this; in fact you will want one that you don't mind if it gets ruined and is no longer usable.

I chose to use a Tippmann Model 98 because it is one of the most reliable guns you can buy and I wanted to keep the cost under $100.


Phase 1: Cutting of the Model 98

To cut the Tippmann Model 98 first you need to take the P90 apart and remove all of the airsoft internals. Then lay the 98 down on half of the open receiver. Next make where you need to cut the marker so that it will fit inside. Now the fun part, I just used a hack saw to cut the 98, but you could use something else to make it easier, little bit of hard work never hurt anyone though. I have marked the places that I cut below.


When finished cutting the 98 body I sanded down the cut areas. Once the 98 is cut you are ready to move onto Phase 2: Preparing the P90 Body.

RGM-79(G) HAMMER WIP part 3

Okay not a whole lot to update but I did finish the missile pods for the legs and attached them today I also put iridescent film over the visor. The only thing left are the decals and I still need to get and paint the shield and bazooka...but here is a sneak peak of the RGM-79(G) HAMMER with a missile pack.I will post more pics when the kit is finished and case it. Until then I will be painting the 1/144 Sandrock Custom for the group build at Hobby Fanatics.

RGM-79(G) HAMMER WIP part 2

Okay time for a little update. Last night I worked on the missile packs for the legs. To make them I used parts from a old computer power supply and then sharped some pieces from another gundam's tree. I then weathered them by dry brushing sliver on it and hand painted the missile tips red. Now I just need to drill holes in the legs to mount them.

Now I need to get the shield and decide what main weapon to give him...I am leaning towards a bazooka. Other then that I just need to apply decals and the first suit in my special ops team will be done.

RGM-79(G) HAMMER WIP part 1

Okay so as I said earlier I am currently painting this kit but I wanted to put up some pics of the the work before painting.

For a little bit of back ground on my ideas for this kit...I want to keep specific colors for each of the different factions. So for the EFSF I have chosen to do red and light gray. Also I am planning on make a mobile suit team based on paintball team positions (for more info see the link in my paintball page). This suit will be the HAMMER, his job is to lay down a huge amount of cover fire for advancing troops or do enough damage to destroy any cover the enemy may be hiding behind. To accomplish this I have modified the back pack by adding the dual gatling guns from a 1/144 none grade Slash Zaku Phantom. This was all I was going to do, however, after looking back at my sketch of what I wanted to do with this unit I will have to do a little more modding. I will be adding missile pods to each leg and equipping it with a larger shield (the one given to the RX-78).

So here are some pics of the back pack mods before painting:

Made a few pages about each of my hobbys

Finished my Paintball, Cake Showcase, and Gundam Display Case pages for now. They will be updated as I complete more cakes, models, and take more pictures of paintballing. Below are a few pictures from each of the pages. Enjoy.
