Combat SMG-PDW
This one is made from a BrickArms Combat SMG and a BrickArms Assault Carbine. ( Credit actually goes to BrickArms Forums member joeri83)
I cut off the handguard of a Combat SMG to start with. I then shortened the handguard itself by cutting off a small chunk and evening it out so it would glue on straight. I glued it back onto the body of the Combat SMG, and cut off the original stock.
Then an Assault Carbine was used by cutting off the stock of that and glueing it onto the Combat SMG,creating this.
Intervention
This is originally inspired by BrickArms Forums member ISwiperGoSnipin, and I made some changes.
It uses a BrickArms Precision Sniper Rifle basis. I cut off the original scope which was too long and unrealistic to the real Intervention.I cut the scope off of a BrickArms M21 (It was a scrap scope I've had for a long time) and glued it on to the PSR (Precision Sniper Rifle). I then took a regular Lego lever and cut the end off to use as a bolt, glueing it on next to the scope.
I then take an Assault Carbine, cut off the rail system, then cut off the end of it (Scope). After, I cut off a little piece, glued it in front of the magazine, and glued the rest in front of that,while the two pieces were touching.
The silencer is removable, made from a squishy Lego flex tube.
Camouflaged M21
This one was very fun. My own design, might I add. It's inspired by Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare's mission "All Ghillied Up".
I took a regular black BrickArms M21, cut the magazine at an angle to represent a 10-round magazine, painted the magazine a steel color, and then painted a base of dark olive on everything but the rear iron sights, the main rifle grip, and the barrel. I painted woodland camouflage on everything with an olive base. Once that was done, I picked some grass from my yard, and started applying glue and placing the grass on, and in front of the magazine, I started applying glue on both sides of the gun and wrapping the grass around, until I felt it was completely ghillied just like the game.
After,I re-did some camouflagearound where the grass was glued because I used some olive paint as well along with glue. Then, I used tan/dark tan paint to paint all of the grass around the gun. After all of that, I painted patches of olive on the tan-painted grass.
What really came to me was the scope. In the game, your player's M21 in the mission "All Ghillied Up" has a reflective scope that looks like a cobalt blue. So what I did is paint the scope's lenses a shiny blue, which is visible in the picture above.
Woodland CamouflageI do my woodland by taking the desired BrickArms accessory/ies and painting the parts I want to be camouflaged dark olive, and then I paint a mixture of blobs and stripes that look remotely like camouflage of each of 3 different colors: Brown, tan, and black. I also leave plenty of patches of olive on the gun.
I've also got a camouflaged
U-Clip and
Monopod.
Tactical MP5-PDW
One of my favorites, and it's made using the same technique as the first, only with this is silver. Starting after getting the first part done (Explained in the first mod shown in this post), I took a silver BrickArms Stun Grenade, and cut the pin off of it. I then glued it on under the handguard as the forward grip. Then, I took a silver BrickArms MGL, cut off the scope, and glued it on here as the scope. I then took a gunmetal MGL, cut the scope off, then cut the back of the scope off and glued it on the right side as a flashlight. For the "wire", I used a small piece of black string glued on. On the left side (The first picture shown of this specific mod), I took the scope part of the rail system from the Intervention mod and glued it on the left side of the handguard as a laser.
MP5k
This is similar to the first. I took a black Combat SMG, cut off the handguard, and cut it down shorter. I then re-glued it onto the body, and then cut off the stock, but didn't replace the stock with anything else. I then cut off the magazine, and cut it down a little bit shorter so that it could get shorter when slicing bits off to make it so it would be straight and leveled when glued back on. Then I glued it back on (Obviously :P).
So that's how this blog will basically work, of course there's most likely going to be one modification per-post, as it takes some time to plan one out, get the materials, and do it.
I've got one mod in the works...the paint is drying at the moment.

I basically copied the selected portion of the pictures I took on color-printed camouflages, copied them from IrfanView, and then pasted them in Paint. They are always huge, so I just make the image and outline smaller, trying to match my current personal one's size (509 length, 188 width) as best as possible. I use the little spray can (That's what I call it) and quickly run the mouse over the image in rows using the most spread out one with dark red. I made a blob for the "Specialist" rank using the spread one. I did the words "BrickArms Forums" on both with the medium sized spray, and also the ranks.
