Guest Axelay Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Some of you may know about the work I've been doing to try to improve a suit of armor which I recently bought. Almost every single piece needed some TLC, and that includes the blaster. Here are some cringeworthy "before" photos. I have no clue who originally made this blaster. It's not quite a recast of the Kenner, but it's really close. It's probably a bit larger than a truly screen-accurate blaster, but there are certain things about its lines which I like. I asked NegativeEleven for some advice and help with improving this into a workable presentation piece, and he sent me a replacement scope. Here's the (almost) end result. (still touching up the very top just a bit - I don't like how the paint didn't dry evenly) Now I just have to figure out how to attach it to the holster!

gmrhodes13 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I did as Pandatrooper, I added a metal strip to the base of the blaster then magnets to the boot holster. But after playing with electronics I worked out you could use an actual metal plate resistor (the cap plate on the grip with the two screws) just sand off the resin one, drill a couple of holes then screw on, then add a magnet to the inside side of the boot holster, just another idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NegativeEleven Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 I know you were in a hurry to finish it, but I hate that I didn't clean up that seam more before I shipped it. I've got a new mold for the scope now and there's no seam lines visible on the castings from it. Gonna work on the blaster's new mold next week.
