SorenM[TK] Posted August 21, 2013 Report Posted August 21, 2013 (edited) This is an estimate of how much it cost me to transform a Doopydoos blaster from this to this. The prices are Danish. Naturally these prices differ across the globe, and maybe the parts could have been found cheaper here as well. Times are estimated. Time used on Research: 12+ hours Time used on rinsing/sanding/grinding etc.: 9 hours Time used on building/glueing: 16 hours Time used on painting, weathering: 5 hours Petrol for going to the hardware store: 21$ Kit incl. Shipping: 80$ Glue: 30$ Aluminium bar for Hengstler bracket: 25$ Aluminium bar for scope rail: 8 Brass screws for Hengstler: 5$ Brass screws for scope, powercylinders and fire selection lever: 5$ M6 screws for muzzle and pistolgrip: 5$ Front sight pin: 3$ Primer: 20$ Paint: 14$ Total amount: 216$ The wood for the bolt, the plexiglass for the counter window, the screws for attaching this and that, the paint for weathering and the coathanger for the spring was something I had lying around.

And all costs without a real hengstler...BUT: great result! naaa, not really , but things do cost quite a lot in this country in general, the tubes of glue are rather large though, and the aluminium bars are normally used for protecting corners of plaster walls, so they had a quite nice finish to them.... thanks , quite happy with the result myself.....
