A Custom "Simonized" Axe I made just for myself and to test some things out...
I was bored one Sunday evening sat at home and realized I haven't made something just for myself in a long time. So a few hours with a few beers and I came up with this...

This is how it started out with a design that reduced down the back of the frame and the foregrip...





And then that ended up with the frame looking like this...



Next was cutting down the body.

Here's the weight of the stock body...




So it got put on the "Mill" diet as seen here...



And then it ended up like this...



And here is a side by side comparison...



So next the reg needed to go on a diet.

It starts out a little "chubby"



And then gets "svelte"





And finally a mock up of the full gun (with cut down bolt guide too)...



She's together and shooting now. I'll have it with me at Tunaball and Living Legends. I still need to decide on an anno pattern. Suggestions welcome.

I am considering going with a matte finish with Multicam anno, and then have the Simonized "S" logo in shiny black...

I am playing more in the woods nowadays than anywhere else. I really need to join a UWL team.

do a superman theme and have the "S" be just like the superman logo. Maybe a red/white/blue fade.

love the work though!

Ohdeargod. I must see this being shot with one if the Infamous/XSV Boss bolts.

I LOVE the curvature of the frame.

Was about to say if you can do it, why can't PE and Dye?

Also what software do you use to make the 3D images?

im very impressed. im just curious why they dont shave that much off to begin with, im sure its considerably lighter... i guess for safety reasons they need to leave it within certain tolerances.

i approve
