- ROKR AK-47 Wooden Assault Rifle, LQ901, 315 pieces, 14+.
The dimensions of this wooden kit are 215mm x 717mm x 56mm. So it's not full scale.
I added some background sound, beach with waves, as the long sections without any narration seemed odd.
Let me know what you think?
The sound is from Freesound. And is called amholma by Andrew Holman👍
Was going to buy this for my 10 year old nephew... glad I watched this.
That's an amazing kit and great fun. When I looked it up I couldn't believe the price, I thought it would be at least double what it is. There are also a lot more parts in it than the original Kalashnikov gun.
Yes, you get quite a bit of bang for your buck
Hardly garbage mate
Nice build Greg, you did a great job and I bet it was nice without all the usual modelling extras to do.
Yes it was😎👍
Love your videos, pal.
Awesome content.
I looked this up and was amazed at how cheap it is.
Got one being delivered today 😊
Enjoy it
Is the sight in back to front? The way it appears in the video, you would have to face the barrel to see the range...?
Not too sure, will have to check.
Looks like it to me.
This video is so detailed. Even though I'm Vietnamese, I feel like the video you made was extremely thoughtful. Maybe I don't understand some details in the video, but I'm very impressed with your video. This is actually the video I've been looking for these past few days. Sorry my words may be clunky and wrong because I use a translation app.❤
What another great video. I can not begin to comprehend the effort that goes into all the editing, etc. prior to posting.
On top of that, a truely inspirational build! I was given a ROKR kit (army field car) sometime ago and I have now moved it to the forefront of my stash. Thanks again, Greg.
Really fascinating watching it all go together and very different from the usual plastic subjects. Would love to have a go at something similar myself.
I recall having a crack at the balsa airframe aircraft kits back in the day during my early teens. NOT die-cut so was a pain in the backside cutting everything out.
I never did finish one properly having always made a mess of applying the tissue paper. For me the enjoyment was always in the crafting.
Was so intrigued, I just had to watch it again and just purchased the AWM Sniper rifle. Tempted to get the Thompson, MP4 and AK-47 as well.
Cheers again for putting this together, and please do it again if/when you get around to building another!
Sweet. Not my idea of a good time, but I can see there being a market for this kind of thing. The video is fresh, hypnotic and engaging. Maybe it is my age, but when I saw the bag of rubber bands I thought: "Oh no. It's not going to be a catapult gun is it?". Not that this is a bad thing necessarily, but we built similar kits made of Card, Plastic and Wood when we were kids. Nothing as sophisticated as this and certainly not worthy of display. Nice one Greg.
Hi Greg this is a bit of a departure from the norm but its still a great video. Best wishes from NZ. P.S. I'm glad you didn't use any background music.
Awesome!! ....the RUclips Algo's are gonna have a field day with my feed now, lol
Yes, a most interesting if different build. This reminds me of the castle kit you build about a year ago which I found extremely interesting. Good job and keep us guessing about what's coming next!
A change is as good as a holiday, which is so true👍
I just finished this kit myself earlier this evening, had lots of fun building it. I used wood glue but very sparingly. I had enough metal pins of the correct length, but not enough of the longest screws (P17) so I wonder what their loose parts quality control is like. Or maybe I will find that last screw tomorrow it's dark now. Anyhow I improvised and used a small bolt with a nut.There were many small wooden parts left, but they took into account you might break parts while building the AK-47. The mechanism and the rubber bands actually worked, much to my surprise. Blew away the (scale 1/32?) little wooden soldiers many times! Let's see what I can kill tomorrow.
The price was reasonable I guess I've never done a 3D wooden rubber band gun before, 51 euros. Shipping not included which for some reason was free. Or maybe it was included but they didn't make that clear.
Some criticism: The instructions are detailed but often much too small. I sometimes had to guess what was left or right of a particular small part or how it fit into another part. But it seems I made no serious mistakes. The other problem I had with the kit is how crude the finished model was in certain places. Large open gaps where the magazine and butt stock are joined to the receiver. There is no butt plate, because the stock is as rounded at the end as the rest of of the stock. Frankly a bit dissappointed about the rear part of the lower handguard, but I guess that really beautiful (and fragile) technique for creating rounded shapes elsewere on the handguard was not possible there.
Of course I know it's just a rubber band toy gun but I'm considering to make it look more real: Sanding off the sharp ridges of the butt stock and pistol grip, putting a decent butt stock plate on the gun, and filling up that big hole on the lower handguard. Maybe even trying to paint it in a metallic colour.
Spot on with all your comments. I'm keen to build the Thompson gun at some point👍
Yeah I’m missing pieces too. I’m missing the shaft sleeves.
I was missing the wax
It is a very entertaining video with great editing, it is also something very different from what is usual which is very refreshing. I really liked Greg, I hope that in the future you continue to make other wooden pieces like this. I send you many greetings and see you soon.
Loved it! But, yes, the sight has to be the wrong way around (or it's been etched the wrong way around).
Have subscribed.
30:06 That part is way loose on mine. I wedged one of the spare pieces in between it and the rear sight to hold it in place but i will need to glue it.
Nice little toy. Easily 12 times the number of parts that my real AK has. They got the safety the wrong way around though: down is for danger. Greg, make sure you follow up with the British authorities to get a license for that wooden weapon.🙂
That’s what I love about this channel. It’s like a blindfold dip into the tin of assorted biscuits. Plenty of custard creams, jammy dodgers and bourbons but occasionally the odd pink wafer. They all go down great with a cuppa.
Interesting kit Greg. I tackled one of those 3D metal kits on holiday for a change and made myself a Terminator - I’ll never moan about bending a couple of bits of Tamiya photo etch again!
You should enter this at Telford - worth it to see the head scratching 😊
Thanks again for an enjoyable watch.
Now that is an idea😂😂
It was a nice kit with pretty good details but i realise it tend to shoot 2 rubber bands at the same time. hopefully rokr improve the engineering in its next revision to fix this issue
Love the videos and the learning I get from them is immense. I'm not sure how to send a DM on these however I was going to suggest a 1/48 scale merlin build and specifically the new commando merlin for the Royal Navy.
Noted👍
Not plastic, but still a great model.
You were shooting for the stars....!!!
As per usual.
😂😎
thanks am frome viet nam thanks for help
This is pretty cool.
What strikes me as funny ,however, is; how much more complex this thing is, compared to an actual AKM.
😂
Man I'm so annoyed at myself. The front part which holds the magazine snapped off and now I don't know what to do. The magazine can't go in now because there's nothing to hold the front of it.
Careful, Greg, you'll have an eye out with that. Kids will be popular at 'show and tell' at school. Though you may get a call from the Head.
I received the US jeep and a street tram at Christmas and didn't holdout much hope that they'd ever look like the box lid when finishedbut I was pleasantly surprised when completed and for some reason their the only 2 of my models that my mum will have on display in the livingroom
Good video.
I have the Thompson Machine Gun.
Can't wait to get at it.
Certainly different from the usual modelling fare ... but it would look good if the wooden parts ( stock & pistol grip ) had a coat of varnish / polish. 👍🏼
I am struggling what part do you take off it says like I16
What are you using for the wax ? Or what can you substitute for the wax?
Very disappointing, you can’t pose the air brakes open!
At least you got ground crew with this kit!
😂
Something different for a change and looks well.
More complicated than the real AK series!
Ian
😂😂
Just built it and when i go to fire it the trigger doesnt work so i have to use the bolt to fire it
Amazing! Roughly how long did this take you to build?
A bit of a departure from your usual videos Greg but very interesting nonetheless. And to think that ‘back in the day’ when I were a lad, we made do with home made catapults. Progress eh?
Absolutely!
Do these require glue?
It's not essential
I’m blown away by how detailed and fun this thing was to build! Would highly recommend if you are patient and gentle!
Build it for me
Good skills but most certainly not my cup of tea
Very interesting concept. Nice review and build. I bet it'll look good on the wall. Cheers Bob 👍
That's if her in doors lets me hand it in the room.
We are trying to sell the house😂
@@GregsModels 🤣🤣
Thanks for stopping the wave 😂
There’s a Thompson as well which looks very good it would be cool to see an in depth vid
Yes it's on the list to build
the thompson looks better, its awesome
Something different for sure. Cool kit. 😊
Interesting as always Greg, and haven't seen you looking so happy 😁.
I'm getting lazy in my old age😂
mine didnt come with wax either
Nice video. I didn't know these kits existed.
Nice one Greg, something a bit different
The type of thing I'll be making when I reach old age, which is very soon, easy and very enjoyable. Hope you're well😎
Mine is also missing the wac
Mine was missing wax to
That's a cool kit Greg.
Was thinking about buying the model of the L96 that they make.
They are a very therapeutic build, regardless of subject.
but i dont have wax
This was a nice change of pace.
Great kit. Just finished mine. Thanks for the tips.
Nice shooting, Greg!
Hi, what tipe of wax did you use ? Thanks
I just used a bit of old candle
Did it really take 30 to 40 minutes though
That may be an exaggeration; around 3 hours without having to stop and video the build. But with the videoing the build up it took Days!!
Dah 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Absolutely superb. Thats my Christmas list sorted!
The Thompson machine gun looks good too.
👍
A really nice kit very impressed
Hi , I was going to say well done for having the patience to build that crock of garbage in the first place, but I’ve just thought of the perfect use for it. That’ll do a fine job of scaring all the neighbourhoods cats from my garden without actually harming them 👍🏼
There is a gigantic hole in the plastic model industry when it comes to small arms. It seems like such an obvious subject for a large scale treatment, 1/4 scale or so.
D18 does not fit in the slot. Wtf. In fact, most of the tolerances were off, ended up breaking a crucial piece. Absolute worst puzzle I've ever spent time or money on
For $50 bucks it should come pre assembled! Ridiculous!
Building it is part of the fun!
The whole point is diy 😃
it’s literally a puzzle 💀
No way that’s the whole reason of getting it 😂
Yeah I wouldn't recommend it
No one needs to watch this. Time to unsubscribe.
Bye😂
Don't speak for others, I do want to see Greg's videos, so I ask you to only speak for yourself, it is better that you say: I DON'T WANT TO SEE THIS. And if you want to stop subscribing to this channel, that's your business and leave us alone.
Brilliant video Greg, really enjoyed it. Thankyou and take care
What are you rubbing on the parts?? Nice vid by the way :)
