Hi Steve, thanks, the buttons do look better yeah. I wouldn't go bigger than that though it would start looking too much like FX armor otherwise I'd think. But yes, good improvement indeed.
I did get everything ready for doing the blaster as well yesterday but was distracted by real life again (i.e. work ) and had to leave it again
I found parts of my old, unfinished Doopydoos kit and will be using the D-ring and charging handle of that. I only need to drill some holes where the D-ring will be going. I'll also install the charging handle in preparation for centurion one day
