Gun Rack construction for M60 Part One

[TwoOneEight]

I took a piece of foamboard and measured the size I will need to put the Machine Guns on it. I was gonna do a board type with hooks on it instead of a gun rack that stood them up side by side.

For the hooks I used bailing wire...

I then cut them to size and proceeded to form hooks...

I then proceeded to measure and cut and insert the hooks accordingly...
