Going very well, keep up the good work

You will have to hold them at the back with pliers to stop them from spinning and use a really slow drill bit or you will heat up the rivet and the abs will melt, slow and steady

My ATA was the same I just aligned which fitted best to the butt piece and back, it seemed to only like going on one way to match the back.

Nice work they seem to match fine, the front remaining standard looks better

Very cool indeed, well done

There are many with multipe armors and other costumes, you keep the same id across them all but still would have to be approved for all of them.

Cool can't wait to see the pic's

My lid was the same, try the screws before riveting it does make a difference.

Looking good, all the best for approval

Think it's just a case of trying to tint the white to match, just do a few test tries on some scrap abs

Nice armor upgrade , well done

^^^ +1 ^^^

Thanks guys Sight and curly wire glued on, next just a few coats of satin clear to protect the paint from scratches.

Awesome good luck with the build

Not at all you are welcome to share it. Cooling fins where just reticulation threaded connectors just cut off the threaded part then cut in half then pieced together;)

I use two rivets on my Stunt belt and after doing some searching a more accurate one rivet for my Hero belt.

Just been putting this together for an Imperial Officer costume thought I would share it with you up and coming Stormtrooper Commanders Thought I would start on my Merr-Sonn 5 build, shouldn't take long if my other blasters are anything to go by. Started stripping down my cheap nasty plastic DL-44. Now to cut off what I no longer need Making some cooling fins Filling in some of the openings And now for some fine details A few more details and then some bondo and sanding now in primer, bit too windy to keep the pieces outside so I will just have to put up with the smell of paint yet again LOL Silver base is on Adding a hi-bright led to the gun just like in other blaster projects I have done Got the black coat on, I may coat the grips with some brown then go over agian with another coat of black in case I decide to weather it later Paint is dry just putting the electronics in and making a mount for the hi-bright led Testing the light and sound, these hi-brights are pretty powerful Had al look online for pictures of the sight, think this is close, I used an old car temp sender and a pvc pipe connector, also some curly wire from an old telephone. Just have to make a mount and give it a paint.

Very cool guys well done

Looking good

I have seen some large back strips but not of that size, prob wouldn't hurt to get the DO's advice.

And the excitement sets in, wait for the panic lol

Do I need to get Lord Vader to use the force on you lol.

Interesting product I have never seen that over here in Aus. What I have used in the past is spray varnish to lock in printed pieces I have made for other projects also I have tried clear fibreglass resin which also works. I have taken two caps off in the past and both where only held on by a small amount of glue so you should be find. Good luck can't wait to see the finished product

So exciting opening that big brown box, remember the great motto, measure twice cut one, enjoy the journey and good luck with the build

Very cool indeed
