    Thank you for the compliments everyone. I'm glad you like it so far. Paul, I'm no expert either but I think that Lukes scope rail was different to most others seen on screen. Can some of you blaster experts tell me if that is the case? The rail only sits 7mm away from the barrel so I don't think that is too high. At least, I hope not. Andy, I'm not really replicating any particular on screen blaster. I'm trying to take the best parts that I can see from each blaster. I want it to be more useable. I suppose that if I wanted to really SA I would have to glue on the Hengstler and I don't want to do that. I want the blaster to look good close up. If that makes sense.

    Fantastic repair. Well done

    Here is an EI request with LA armour http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=18578&st=0&p=223094&hl=loading%20area&fromsearch=1entry223094

    No problem.

    Those pictures are exactly the ones that I have. Same codes and ratings. I'll send Mullards an email and ask him about any more stock and the K rating. These two different sizes are very close so at least if we can't find any of the smaller ones we still ahve something that is extremly close. Cheers Andy.

    Cheers Andy. How long are yours from tip to tip? These ones are 26mm.

    Andy (PlayfulWolfCub) has just pointed out to me that the caps that I have look like they are 6mm and the ones from earlier in this thread are 5mm Really sorry everyone, I thought I'd found the right thing. I will still send out the ones to people that have asked for them and if you decide that you don't want to use them then no worries. Sorry everyone. I'll get back in my box now!

    Thank you Stefan. Keep searching. I'm sure you will find one eventually and it will be worth it. I finished up my T tracks today. By bsac15 at 2012-06-03 My next job was to make the scope rail using Billhag's template as a guide. I went with the 2mm thick flat bar in the end. I used 3mm for my pipe build and I thought it looked a little too chunky. I like how the thinner bar looks. By bsac15 at 2012-06-03 I went with steel as it shouldn't sag as much as aluminium and I want to weather it once painted and let the steel show through in some places. I took some time to get the curvature right so that it sits nicely against the barrel By bsac15 at 2012-06-03 By bsac15 at 2012-06-03 *EDIT* I wasn't holding the back down all the way. It does sit even. Honest I think it sits nice and even along the length of the barrel and looks to be about the right distance away. By bsac15 at 2012-06-03 I decided to leave the rear scope in place. I just have to drill a small hole in the rail to fix it down. By bsac15 at 2012-06-03 I suppose the next job is to get a scope and fit it so that I can then make a bracket for the Hengster and make sure that it is positioned correctly.

    It's a very fine rubbing compound. The same as novus.

    I have used T cut on pretty much any kind of plastic you can imagine in the marine industry. I have always used it on my armour. This is capped. Never once have I had any problems with discolouring or it 'eating in' to the material. I have always prefered it as it's a lot less work than Novus and gives a much better shine. As for it having metal in it that will rust, no way.
  11. matt black
    Oh yeah. Thank you Jens. Great looking build by the way

    Lot's of capacitors By bsac15 at 2012-06-02 I'll get these sent out to everyone that has asked for some early next week. Still some available if anyone else wants them. Craig, I still need your address.

    Thank you Jens. Very interesting. Does that method not make the rail sit too close to the body of the gun?
  14. matt black
    Perfect! Thanks Sergiu
  15. matt black
    Thank you Sergiu. I still can't decide on the best way to fit the rear of the scope rail. Does anyone know how they were fitted on screen? I know that some had a bend in them and were screwed to the barrel in front of the rear sight but I would like to fit mine into the rear sight.

    You can say that again. I hate this stuff !

    I recieved my lovely T track from Marv today. This is the part of the build that I have been dreading as I have never been able to get the hang of it . I gave the boiling water method a shot first but wasn't quick enough to get the bend done before the track cooled so I found that the lighter method worked best for me. By null at 2012-06-01 I then roughly shaped the bends with a sharp knife so that the fitted into the barrel holes By null at 2012-06-01 After marking where to bend the other end of the track and shaping it I sanded down the track with 1000 grit wet and dry paper then 2000 grit to make a nice shape. This is probably a very long way to go about it but as I said, I'm rubbish at this bit so found that this is the best way for me to get a decent result. By null at 2012-06-01 The finished track doesn't look too bad ( I hope. Please tell me if it does ) It does sit nice and close to the barrel along the length which I was pleased about at least. Two down, four more to go By null at 2012-06-01

    Ok Craig. PM me your address please.
  19. matt black
    No problem Andy. Just PM me your address.

    Thank you Paul. It's good to have you watching. I have managed to get hold of some TCC capacitors for the power cylinders so if anyone wants some just let me know.

    Thank you Vern

    I can't decide on what width scope rail to make. I was going to go with the 20mm as I prefer the look of it to the 10mm. What about doing a 15mm one? What sort of sizes did the screen used Sterlings have? Also, on my pipe build I used bar that was 3mm thick. Should I use that again or go thinner? Decisions decisions.
  23. matt black
    Yes, I need to start that search too
  24. matt black
    PM sent Jens.

    I pulled them out and put the wires into the holes as I liked how neat it looked.
