TKDUEUNO Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Hi! Since mine has turned out pretty good, here's my method to obtain a nice visual effect for the scope! All you need is a lens (I took mine from an old Polaroid camera), an old shiny cd-rom, a piece of red OHP film and a superfine marker. 1- cut out from the cd-rom a circle with the correct dimensions of the inside of your scope 2- cut out from the red OHP film a circle of the same size and draw on it the scope lines as you like. Be as precise as possible! (This way you can try different scope styles without cutting out your entire cd collection ) 3- assemble as shown: The key is to put the right distance between the lens and the cd-rom+OHP, experiment till you find the right compromise! Here's the result: Hope you like it! bye, Pablo EDIT BY DAETRIN: updated title 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketariniii Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 That looks amazing! I cant wait to give it a try! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Thanks for showing how this is done. I'm not gonna use this for the blasters I'm selling because it wasnt my idea, but for the one Im keeping, Im definitely gonna use it. Such an awesome effect.

King_Ninja Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Wow, that looks awesome. Question for you: I know it's probably out here somewhere already, but what are you using for the scope body? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKDUEUNO Posted February 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 I don't think he would have a problem with letting you use it on future projects. Exactly! Smitty, feel free to use it for your blasters, in a world ruled by old copyright laws we don't need to keep restricted little things like these, but thanks a lot for the fairplay! :) I'll be pleased to see my idea implemented by another blaster-builder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question for you: I know it's probably out here somewhere already, but what are you using for the scope body? I used short copper pipes of various diameters, a chromed pipe for sinks, steel washers, a funnel tip, look at following pic: bye!

I know I can't separate my Hasbro scope (I put bondo in the screw holes) but I can still fuse the 3 pieces together and attach it to the end of the scope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jehudah Design Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Aww, the one I made sucks now... That looks really cool, I wish I could replace mine, but I have bondoed the lens to the scope, darn. Maybe one day, or the next E-11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiyotei[TK] Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 (edited) I think you should add a pic of an ewok behind the bullseye in the scope like this (I hope this pic is visible): --------------- Edited December 8, 2020 by gmrhodes13 link not working, removed gmrhodes13 2020 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
