OK i would say it´s done, cause the function is fine and the rest is just optic !!!
Tippmann TPX with sleigh
- Thread starter Spydercam
- Start date
Here my newest vid of the slide !!!
Here i did some optical work i filed the grips of the slide.
I filed with a small file may 1mm deep now i go think about other Details and after i go spray it simple black or i try a green i got !?!?!?
We will see, get surprised !!!
I have fiberglased both slide Shells back together but you still can unscrew the Slide piece and the Catch mech. Tried my new paint green but it´s much to green !!!

Here i got two ideas of make the Frame longer to the end with the slide:
1st
Doesn´t look to big but you still see the ugly rail rest.
2nd
Don´t see the rail part but it Looks very massive i think !!!
I´m still not shure which i go choose and may i will get a better idea if i go think about a Little bit more !?!?!?

So i´ve finished the the Frame cover Basement !
Simple to install by a screw which you have to screw in the old front cap i got cause my TPX was without the adjustable one so i got two of them.
Will be fiberglased for max. strengh, stability and may to have a flat surface too !!!
Final paint job will be all flat black !!!

So i´ve fiberglased it and it´s ready to paint !!! (I don´t care about the ugly surface cause fiberglas fog isn´t healthy)
Yeaahhh the sight out of Wood is something new but after a fiberglas shower and paint Job you don´t see it anymore !!!

So here the finished slide, i think i go Name it "Spylide"
May the last work i go engrave or paint:
SPYLIDE Cal.68 Handmade in Germany SN:0001
Yes the surface is ugly but you will have already a used look for less cash and also less unhealthy work with fiberglas too !!!
I´m happy it´s done so i can go on with other stuff !!!

Thank you !!!
Yes you´re right but i have to stay with the TPX as stock as possible cause of strange laws down here. It´s mostly made of free material and my main Goal was to check if the slide grap mech will work.
It is possible to to get the slide more Slim and also the TPX Frame in the cartridge area but if i would do this i can only Transport my TPX just in parts, cause of the laws done by noobs !!!
It´s up to other´s to do it better looking !!!
