Thanks for the feedback! Seems like pretty easy fixes, will address them soon!

Come judge! been awhile

Gee wiz it's been awhile everyone! Alot has happened! Hope you all are going well. First of all, I got a job at the local cinema, and we had a Star Wars Marathon, so great time to do my first mini-troop. The armour looked great and felt great. Wore the armour around town for around 2 hours. I tell you what, I see why you guys love doing it so much. The amount of times I heard 'You've made my day' warmed my Imperial heart. Some photos below: Some of you keen eyed people that have been following for the past year (YES it's been over a year now) will see, Hey Tom, you actually got around to finishing the TD you lazy nerf-hearder. Yes I did finish it, but it currently has the wrong screws. I also think it could probably sit a little lower on my belt. Opinions? I also got around to getting a 3D printed blaster from Etsy, which is pretty high quality, and much more easier to put together than the resin one. Just Bondoing and sanding now. I could probably go for my approval now! So just really the new TD screws I need to do now. Wow what a journey!

Are these gaps between the panel and the endcaps too large? https://ibb.co/z64LVK2 https://ibb.co/60nX0R2 Sorry I didn't use imgur it seems to not be working anymore

The quest continues! So when my blaster arrived a few bits were damaged, so we picked up some putty at our Bunnings: Then I fixed all the holes and what not on the resin: I sanded them down a heap to get ready for attachments, they are pretty much nice and clean now! Today Dad and I started drilling the pipe seen below: Now I've got to clean the holes up a bit, but i'd like to ask you how you all cut the chamber hole and also the long thin 'spring shaft' shall we say the rear? it seems a bit difficult for us. We tried using a stanley knife but were not to sure, some help would be greatly appretciated!

I assume if you are right I might need to paint it black

It is about 2mm too big to fit, it already has a resin shaped pipe there. Think it goes like this, from left to right: Small PVC Pipe: Blue Long white metal pipe: Yellow Big Metal Pipe: Red He actually sent me this, so I think I am correct:

Hello all, I'm having trouble trying to figure out what these pieces are: The middle one is metal. I tried to ask the maker yet since he is from Poland there is a bit of a language barrier, any help? Cleaning up the bits tomorrow.

Wow! This is like the Bible of Blaster reference! thank you! I found the template in it, which might be the first thing i'll do after cleanup

To make some clarification, this is apart of my ANH TK Build Thread, that's why said 'as most of you know' at the start!

By the way, I thought I would post it over on the E-11 Build Threads just to get the eyes of more peeps that are bit more into the blaster making if that makes sense:

Hello all, prepare youselves, alot of photos coming up! So as you might've heard I recived my blaster yesterday from A&J Productions in Poland. As like I was before I started making my stormtrooper, I can't really tell how 'good' it is as a blaster kit, as I am now inexperienced in blaster kit making. A bit of Deja-Vu since I started making my TK in Janurary!! Yes it's been that long. So I decided to take photos for you all below of all the pieces and give you my thoughts. I wanted to get a resin cast blaster, as I thought a 3D printed one might be a bit too 'fragile' plus I didn't want to sand too much. Doopy Doos blasters seem to be a bit hard to get your hands on now, since what I've heard is they have got a massive backlog to go through with orders. So I asked around on Facebook and was pointed towards A&J Productions, so seems to be decent. Most of the pieces need to have some work and I think you guys wash the resin parts before assembly if I'm correct? 2 Pieces came a bit chipped which I'll show below. (I should also mentions I've barely looked at blaster making, just glossed over it, I will be searching tonight after I post this, but please feel free to post some handy dandy links) So I don't know many of the small parts nor do I know much about firearms so bare with me but here it goes: First we have the Main Body which is a pvc pipe, if anyone has a link to how to get the measurements/holes right that'd be a great help: Next we have the inner pipe, I assume this is the one the springs sit on at the back of the blaster, iirc it is meant to have the bend: Here we have an unknown to metal pipe, I have no idea what this is for: Some piece of foam, I assume to make the small tab that sits in the silver chamber part: That rail part that's meant to sit in the holes, does the long part that needs to sick outwards seem to be to you guys?: Small section of pipe and some screw part: Metal rod for the top part, we actually have some more of this which is handy: Springs for the inside: The good ol' D-Ring, have no idea how I'll put it on the mount: Coil for the part above the Counter: A screw: -RESIN PARTS- The grip: Grip inside: Ammo counter: Pull back thing, this seems the piece that is prone to fall off: Part that sits near the silver chamber and an unknown piece on the right, wookie toenails?: Thing that sits on the ammo counter: The Sight, not it has 2 screws taped to it, it's not broken. Thing for the back: Front of the stock, which came broken/chipped, seen on the right. This was on both sides. Anyway to fix this? Rest of the stock: Small unknown piece, I assume it's the bit on the fron near the holes: Thing that looks as if it sticks in the ammo counter: Trigger piece and the saftey. I do not know if these parts need to be seperated: The rear iron sight: Front iron sight: An unknown button type thing: Some screw looking thing, I don't know if the thing going out to the left is meant to stay attached: And the D-Ring mount which is also damaged. It looks very rough on the inside. Note the chunk missing which also has a hairline crack going a bit further: Whew! Alot there. Here is the imgur link to make viewing easier: https://imgur.com/a/7c5myHy Anyway, all in all I'm pretty happy with it, apart from the two damaged parts, but the real blasters looked rough and it will be painted black so not too much of a worry. Just some parts of it feel 'rushed' in some aspects with some build up of resin and what not. But I would like your guys opinion on the blaster so far, keen to get building! I should also say I'm going for a cert 1 blaster.

Thank you! Yeah it has been tough on us all. Good to know I can do my blaster in this thread too, as it is kind of another little side thing ontop of the armour. I'll submit some photos of the kit soon to give you guys a better look at what needs to be done. Hey Rudi, good to see ya! Very close to finishing, I'll try to get submitted soon, but I might work on the blaster a bit since it is something new! Thanks for the welcome back! Hopefully in the future we can all troop again soon
