Teyon, hope you're not still scanning on my account! I think I'm going to call this finished now. There's still about 1,000 rivets, roll pins, split pins, screws and probably staples missing - but I'm going to run out of February if I carry on :)

Packled, the block is nothing like rounded enough as I was imagining it to be made from machined castings, not rather tatty looking pressings as I now realise it is. Now I've found a web site with some detailed images, and seen how many variants there've been, I think it's just going to have to be an AK-47(ish).
