You are spot on.You get two left shins with that kit! Marc

Cheers mate! I will hopefully have the sound board in place by Monday- depending on free time! This one won't have the folding stock, but will have a more accurate counter [emoji3] Marc

You'll be fine mate! It takes a while to come together, and there will be times that you seem to spend all day on the tiniest of details. But then, all of a sudden it all comes together. It's a slower build than a tk, and skills will improve as you go along. Once you're done, the the bug will hit and you'll want to do another! Marc

Here's how mine turned out. I up scaled the image to the same size by measuring the actual ejection port on my blaster and then the image on the screen. I think the measurements are 10mm for the extractor and around 4mm for the plunger. Marc

Yeah I would agree with the resilience of a rubber blaster. However, the one you'd ideal want to show off, would be the most accurate. Here's my Doopy's build thread http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/index.php?/topic/38731-CTID's-Doopy's-E-11-Build Regards Marc

Time to make some abs paste? Marc

Ok so I've begun working on a second blaster. This one is for my son for christmas. I decided I wanted to add lights and sound as a bit of a surprise. I have one of bulldogs no 5 hollow scopes which I will be using to house a targeting display. A couple of leds and this is what I have so far. I'm waiting for a toy blaster (which will be the donor for the sound) to arrive. The trigger is a two stage switch. It works by pressing the trigger half way to bring up the scope lighting and fully press down to trigger the sounds. Marc

Hi Mel. Fitment looks OK, providing there's elastic in there. It looks like the forearm and bicep may pinch when his arm is fully bent. If not, then leave it as is ( providing the bicep stays under the shoulder bell when in full movement ). It could be the forearm needs a little trim, as there is very little gap when the arms straight. You can't go wrong following Tonys threads, he's probably one of the most experienced out there! Marc

Here's a couple shots of how my FX was set up for the arms. Maybe try and raise the biceps a touch Marc

Bloody hell man! They must be tree trunks! Marc

Looking good trooper! That's how I installed my lenses. Marc

How big are your thighs man?!?!?! Measure up and trim down the center on both halves leaving the same amount of the lower raised edge on both sides [emoji6] Marc

A couple of things may be worth addressing whist you have stripped the kit down. 1, replace the two part "tube" for the TD, also invert the "nipple" on there. 2, Separate the but from the kidney. 3. Look into replacing the ab button plates - if they haven't already been swapped out

You're good to go using butt method and covers MelHere's my WIP threads.. http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/index.php?/topic/38021-CTID's-RWA-ANH-Stunt-WIP......-501st-Here-we-go! http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/index.php?/topic/35382-Shhhh-a-quiet-fx-rebuild Marc

This one? Marc

Hang fire! The overlap method is cool for EIB. However,you can do butt joints and employ cover strips irrespective of the type of armour you have. Forget about the fact that it's FX. Regards Marc

Has anyone any advice on adding cheap and easy lights and sound to a blaster? I know many have ripped apart toy blasters for this, and I'm no good with coding etc. But, is there a simple circuit board which you can put a micro sd card in which will play a sound when you pull the trigger? I can manage to hook up the electronics/ make a trigger switch etc, but that's as far as my skills go Help would be very much appreciated as it would be amazing to be able to give my son a blaster with lights and sound for christmas Regards Marc

This could be a good basis for a RO build! Here's my old build thread http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/index.php?/topic/35382-Shhhh-a-quiet-fx-rebuild Marc

No return edge at the wrist end.Swap out the chest and ab plate first. I wouldn't worry about the thumb print as yet. Good luck on the Build. The biggest part is replacing the lid. Go for butt joints! Marc

Do you mean the selector switch?If so, I think I saw the same post. Maybe pm T-jay as I'm sure it was in a post Tino put up. Marc

I tried using a spring initially, but it just stretched an wouldn't return to its original position Marc

Maybe sand a little more from the inside mate [emoji6] Marc

Thanks Tino. I'm not sure what other methods others use, but I thought I'd offer up this method. Marc

Yey! Looking forward to seeing the end result! Marc
