I received in the mail this week a Polyurethane Rubber Scout Blaster from PolymerArmory.com .   I was super psyched when he agreed to pour me a PU rubber blaster, as his hard resin Scout Blaster has always been one of my faves.

The entire kit weighs in about 15 ounces.

The rubber is solid throughout and rather hard.  In this "barrel tip test" image you can see how much pressure I have to exert with my fingers (whitening finger pad) to get it to bend as much as I did.

Notice how little the scope bends with one hand pressing it to the table.

This replica will take a holster drop with no problems.  The solid rubber means the screws will set into the walls with no fear of tear-outs either.

I am very happy with this kit.  No more fear of a shattered resin blaster.

I'll post images of it painted (probably Krylon Fusion Satin black) once the weather clears and I can paint on my back deck.

You don't HAVE to paint them, as the rubber is black in color already.  BUT, if you want a consistent sheen across the entire prop, it's best to paint them.

I have not had a chance to finalize my paint job on this prop either.  Maybe Wednesday or Thursday I can get around to painting them. It's been that kind of hectic summer for me.  :P
