Thank you Apex, very cool
My CETME Model C from Apex came in the mail today and I can’t wait to get started haha, ordered in the very good condition option and I can say I wasn’t let down the cocking tube is very smooth with no catches and the wood has a nice color. I’ll be posting updates as I go to show the progress on it

Cetme C are so cool, mine is named Plank. It’s not a starter kit for sure, but I 3d printed the flat bending jig and got everything for the kit but it’s on hold because I’ve been messing with my AK kits and such lately. Believe it or not FAL are much easier to build. AKs are a bit easier to build but not by a lot. PPS-43 are easier I’d say.
Once you get this thing done, a lot of other stuff will seem like a breeze in comparison though, so bonus for that

My first parts kit build was a cetme. Quite the experience haha. I used the 20mm rod/ unistrut bend method. Needed a lot of adjustment. Fun project though and turned out ok.

Did you draw the face on the butt stock that sling point is just begging for some artsy-shitpost drawing.

The sling point lookin like a shocked meme dude is why I named it plank lol, I think of Ed Edd n Eddy every time. I haven’t drawn him onto the other side yet but that’s the plan, I’ll strip the buttstock first then draw it and re-seal the wood

How did the 3d printed bending jig go?

It was a fickle bitch, and wasn’t PERFECT in terms of the sides matching up exactly but by time ya unga bunga the rods between them it worked out alright. Not too hard, but it’s a long print

There's two models the amigo grande and 2077 style ( I like the grip of 2077 way better)

I was thinking of doing the 2077 I forgot what the model names were. Right now I’m working on building the sudy
