The M41-A

With is fully functional hero models that fired 45 cal. blanks, and blank 12 guage shot gun rounds, to the ultra-slick O.D. green shrounds, this prop is the rare weapon that seemed it could actually do what it appeared to do in the movie! Shoot! This ain’t no ray gun, baby!

Back from a long winter nap, in the new year I decided to do some clean up, upgraded that wordpress thingy and got a new face for this blog.
The basic layout was taken from Derek Punsalan from 5thirtyone.com, called “Grid Focus“, just had to edit some graphics and add some SEO stuff like tag display. The categories in the posts are still missing, I’ll add them later. Besides that, it’s a really nice, clean and tidy layout, which is easy and comfortable to modify.

Hope you like it.
