Dragon_a Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 I'm slowly getting closer to putting in an application for Lancer and am now onto my holdout blaster. I have a 3D printed model, so the scope is hollow and so is the barrel. I know the screen used models were a solid lump of rubber so I've filled the above. My question is when it comes to painting does it need to be plain flat black to meet Lancer standard (as per those seen on screen) or can I add a little weathering for a bit of realism?

Stroker Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 I would just paint it. When going Lancer your going for screen accuracy. None of the screen used blasters that we know of were weathered. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to get a bit beat up when you troop so it'll weather itself Sent from my VS985 4G using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first blaster it was one of Smitty's. We had a downtown troop long story short my blaster came out of my holster slid into traffic and was ran over by two cars. True story! Nothing was broken. Just a few scratches. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kosejonas Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 I'll join in on this thread. I have the blaster from TrooperBay, and I think it's amazing Does this blaster meet the Lancer requirements? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubonos Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 I have a 3D printed blaster as well. I have no real advice here as I'm no lancer. But I did some modifications to mine I will share after work. I know I need to fill in my barrel as well, but I used kids binoculars to make lenses for my scope.

The scope sets to far forward on the hyperfirm that Trooperbay sells. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retrofire Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 If you can't get a DVH blaster reach out to TD eightninesixsix via WTF. He makes a really nice Scout blaster. I got a kids sized one for my boys build. Sent from my VS985 4G using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stroker Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 I too would like to know where to get a hold of a Smitty's As of now they've evolved into the DVH blaster. He acquired the moulds and made more accurate and light weight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
