What help are you after? It looks pretty good, the stock needs smoothing and the barrel brackets could do with being squared off on the ends. Overall it looks nice. I'd potentially consider brown stuff for the stock rather than green as it can be sanded after it sets, which would allow you to shape it easier.

Nothing a sharp scalpel can't handle. :)

 Never used brown stuff as I am a bit "old school" so I was going to suggest milliput for the same reason - it can be filed/sanded etc.

Sérieusement, avec un couteau de modélisme assez aiguisé, c'est très facile de couper l'excès de greenstuff pour donner une surface plate et des angles plus prononcés.

Thank you for all your advice(councils), but it is not any more necessary.
A 2-year-old kid has just ruined all my efforts, by wanting to play the trapper with my rifle.

Est-ce que la seconde d'inattention porte sur le fait de faire des enfants? ;-)
