  1. T-21 Build with Spool86's resin parts

    in MiniMag PTL Missile Launcher, T-21, RT-97C (MG-15)

    So I was dumb and cut the barrel reduced that Spool sends with his kit. If you use this kit don't cut it to match what panda trooper has on his. <br><br><br>

    Also if you wish you have the muzzle angle in a bit you'll need to use a 2" to 1 1/2" reducer and the end barrel ring needs to extend far enough out for that reducer to fit in once you trim it down. I didn't do that so I'm going to take a 1" PVC pipe and some styrene and make the cooling vanes for inside the barrel.

    Just a note for future reference. When using the panda trooper template don't cut to the line. I left an 1/8th inch over the line but I should have left 1/4". No idea why but the resin parts seem to have grown. I would leave the extra wood. Mount your parts and then sand/sculpt the bottom of the blaster. Also be sure that the butt stock extends fully to the back of the top feed plate. I thought the vertical line on pandas was the cut off for the butt. <br><br><br>

    anyways I'm making good progress. Main barrel shroud is mounted and screwed to the wood body. Now to make some shims for the smaller barrel. With panda's template that smaller barrel is only like 5-6" past the cup or come you put on the smaller barrel. <br><br><br>

    Got vinyl tubing to make the ribbing but not sure how much I need soo may get more tomorrow. Autozone only had 5'. I should have gone to advance auto. <br><br><br>

    Got black satin paint and some gold for the fins. Trigger housing has been cut out. I'll glue the trigger in place unless I feel like finding a small spring a pin to make it work.<br><br><br>

    I won't have time to get the web slings for the blaster but I hope I can get the butt stock piece that the sling loops around. <br><br>

    Also my iPad does not like this forum. It keeps adding br's. <br><br>

    Photos coming as soon as I figure out which tag this forum likes.

    Everything is cut to length. Made the rings as well. Now to just screw the barrel to the blaster and glue the shorter barrel to the big one. Btw if anyone needs 2.5" conduit let me know. Lol I have 11 feet of it left. <br><br><br>

    I'll pick up some vinyl tubing for the ribbing today and I should have it painted by hopefully tomorrow. <br><br>

    I'm not doing any electronics so I'm going to just carve out the trigger. My E-11 has a non moving trigger so no big deal there.

    Haven't used this myself yet, but the "Rub'n'buff" stuff seems a good way to go. Trooperbay sells it under 5$ each and have more than one metal finish (silver and gold) don't know if there are others. I will probably try this on my next build.

    There are hundreds of tutorials on YouTube showing how to use this stuff. Here is one:https://youtu.be/Gfw5Q7r2G5U

    Hope that helps.

    I have tubes of that stuff. I think it was like $2 after coupon at Joanne's. Used it on some of my R2 parts so far with dent results.

    I kind of need one of these

     

     

     

    Saw some Anovos buckets this evening at our squad dinner and I was not impressed with the quality or the fit and finish. I know it's mass produced but the helmet just seems off and doesn't feel right to me.

     

    Would I pay $350 for a kit with helmet, yes. Would u pay $609 for the same kit,never.

    The gloves look good but after a while you will get tired of your hands coming out of them like prunes. 

     

    I went to harbor freight and found a pair of black mechanics gloves "HARDY" brand  ( http://www.harborfreight.com/mechanics-gloves-large-62428.html).Don't forget your 20% off coupon too! My hand plates cover the logo but its easily removed with a little bit of heat. 

     

    they are way more comfortable and look the part.
