Great starting point for the M41A pulse rifle from aliens.

Split model down into component parts and split sub components again for colourising.

Needed to create cut-outs to allow easy assembly of parts though glue still required!.

I split the studs on the top part onto another plate to - allow quicker printing and they are more solid looking.

As it was a more visual design - I had to solidify some things to get them to bond together.

The LED counter was designed by me in Fusion for added effect.

Notes:

The trigger part slides in from the left of the top body.
The round knob on the top of the trigger part is held by a small inside piece - don't be surprised it it comes loose - just glue it into the right hand side as I did
The extendable stock - i added a cut out in Bambu slicer to allow it to enter more easily - for me I just trimmed off part of the extension piece and it went in far enough just fine.

Enjoy
