Troopacoola[TK] Posted October 1, 2021 Author Report Posted October 1, 2021 Another easy assembly. Drilling out the rear of the D-ring mount allows for fitting. Then it was just a case of installing the ring mount to the end cap.Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk 2 Quote
Troopacoola[TK] Posted October 12, 2021 Author Report Posted October 12, 2021 Sorry for the lack of updates. I will post more soon! In the meantime here is a sneak pack at the Pugman style ESB kit I am working on making. Some of these parts are reworked casts from ( and with permission from ) Mark at Shear Tech . 4 Quote
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted October 12, 2021 Report Posted October 12, 2021 Very nice, one blaster version I'm yet to add to the collection 1 Quote
Troopacoola[TK] Posted October 14, 2021 Author Report Posted October 14, 2021 Back to the ANH E11.....The trigger assembly the most solid resin piece in the kit. Saying that, there is still no need to grind any resin out as there is plenty of room to fit the trigger. There is a great tutorial on this in the Blaster ref Guide, which is how I fitted my trigger. A nice little extra is that by following the ref guide you can have a working trigger function with the aid of the small spring which is included in my kits.The grip was cleaned up and the hex bolt fitted. in this case the bolt is resin. However, I supply all replacement metal bolts and screws etc in the kit. Next was to drill out the hole for selector switch. If you wanted to have this functional you could always drill the opposing side, fit a small bolt into the switch itself and then fill. With a little more work, you could even install a rotary switch to add that "click" to the selector. This is a really good feature and works a treat and is also an option that BlasFX offer. In this example the selector switch for BlastFX are shown. I have also added an example using black and beige resin parts assembled so you cam see the components, along with my method for adding age.Once the trigger assembly was complete it was time to fit the grip.The grip slides nicely on to the assembly and is secured with adhesive. Once dry, the holes were drilled into the assembly (indicated by the holes in the grip) for the almost final components. The metal grip screw and "cap" were then installed.With the trigger guard installed this assembly is done.Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk Quote

Troopacoola[TK] Posted October 23, 2021 Author Report Posted October 23, 2021 For those who are adding BlastFX here is how I fit the board and wiring loom...The power switch is fitted in the mag housing and the battery and charging port is accessed by removing the end cap.Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk 1 Quote

Troopacoola[TK] Posted October 23, 2021 Author Report Posted October 23, 2021 In addition to the BlastFX system I have been experimenting with the addition of smoke effects...Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk 6 Quote
T-Jay[TK] Posted October 25, 2021 Report Posted October 25, 2021 (edited) Wow, smoke effects are a crazy cool mod. Maybe not for every single blaster shot fired, but definitely for the overheat feature (in case that is doable at all). Edited October 25, 2021 by T-Jay 3 Quote
Troopacoola[TK] Posted December 11, 2021 Author Report Posted December 11, 2021 Lastly was just a case of fitting the remaining components, a little touch up of paint and weathering. I went for a textured undercoat tooSent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk Quote

Troopacoola[TK] Posted February 24 Author Report Posted February 24 Hi everyone, it's been a while! So, as always I have been looking to improve on my builds. Recently I have been working on cold casting the scopes.Step 1 was to cold cast in brassStep 2 was to overlay with a coat of matt blackStep 3 was to buff the black backSent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk 5 Quote
Troopacoola[TK] Posted February 25 Author Report Posted February 25 More cold casting done. This time, the counter. Casting had a single coat of flat black and then a little buff to take it backSent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk 4 Quote
Troopacoola[TK] Posted March 7 Author Report Posted March 7 Loving the effect of cold casting and the result when the black paint is buffed back to reveal the brass!Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk 1 Quote
