Former colleague has a blog where he posts his DIY and art projects.
Thought his latest project might interest a few people here on GS.
It is a model AK-47 true to size and weight, movable trigger and bolt handle and removable magazine made from wood and other metal scrap he found around the house and in 2nd hand bins.
