Cody42[TK] Posted July 14, 2015 Report Posted July 14, 2015 Amazing progress! It confused us a lot and we couldn't decide how to model it... so we decided to make the D-ring holder a separate piece that gets connected via a bolt on the inside of the end cap... in other words, the D-ring is capable of turning freely if desired so every trooper can set it however they wish. Exactly as I would have done it. Two additional things I noted: The white painted ring where the front sight is mounted seems to long. It should only be half as long, so that it ends in the middle of the front sight. The main barrel might even get thinner right before the white ring. See here. The rear post of the scope mount should be mounted behind the white rail, completely on the silver rail. So about half its width further to the rear. However the model looks realy great. I could not find any other difference with reference pictures. Great work! Quote

Yeah, we already identified that the sight portion of the muzzle is off (we have the silver sight sitting on the white ring which is incorrect and the white ring is too wide, that will all have to be redone). Not sure if we understand the other part about the scope mount, can you elaborate? Thank you! Quote

In your renderings in the first post it looks better. So it might just be assembled imprecise. 1 Quote

We were in a rush to get it all together, lol! Edited July 1, 2022 by gmrhodes13 link removed no longer working 2 Quote
SHEEPDOG54[TK] Posted July 16, 2015 Report Posted July 16, 2015 I already paid for three from another builder and I hope they are as detailed and awesome as your build! If you start selling these I would be in for one or two. 1 Quote
TK-Sonic[TK] Posted July 16, 2015 Report Posted July 16, 2015 Looking great, slowly but surely finding the info for a 3d print. If you like to share this file, would be very grateful as it wld make it one step closer to finishing my new tfa build. Quote
jjarmoryinc Posted July 22, 2015 Author Report Posted July 22, 2015 We'll release our files for the 1.0 version of the rifle most likely later this year, closer to the release of TFA. Until then, the files are going to remain proprietary, at least until we recoup some of the cost we put into this project! 3 Quote

Completely understand this! 3D files aren't free to develop, especially ones as detailed as these. 2 Quote

camprandall Posted July 24, 2015 Report Posted July 24, 2015 Awesome work! I'm impressed with all the building going on just from a handful of photos. 1 Quote
Cody42[TK] Posted July 24, 2015 Report Posted July 24, 2015 Hi, I just noted another detail that might be off. From these pictures (Link 1, Link 2, Link 3) I get the impression that the muzzle of your blaster should be mirrored. 1 Quote

Yep, I agree with David - and wouldn't wonder about this, as almost the whole Sterling design got mirrored for this blaster. 1 Quote
The5thHorseman[501st] Posted August 1, 2015 Report Posted August 1, 2015 The muzzle is definitely mirrored on this blaster compared to the original Sterling L2A3. Nice to see that people are starting to notice it! 1 Quote

No worries, mate, I am pretty sure we just hot glued it on wrong in our rush to assemble it for photos! Update! Let the wetsanding begin (this photo includes some pieces we remodeled and reprinted to make them even more accurate...!) Quote
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted August 2, 2015 Report Posted August 2, 2015 Great work, looking forward to playing with one soon 1 Quote
Cody42[TK] Posted August 2, 2015 Report Posted August 2, 2015 No worries, mate, I am pretty sure we just hot glued it on wrong in our rush to assemble it for photos! Nope, the muzzle is completely asymmetrical. So it can't be just mounted wrong. Outstanding work so far nevertheless! 1 Quote

Okay, now I'm just confused... could you elaborate on what is off with ours so we know what to fix? Here is the muzzle cap as it currently appears: Edited August 3, 2015 by jjarmoryinc Quote
Cody42[TK] Posted August 3, 2015 Report Posted August 3, 2015 Like this. It should be mirrored horizontally. 2 Quote

Does anyone here have any idea what we could use for the textured grippy material seen on the blaster grip/foregrip?
