Looking good, yes base silver but not the grip, been told that is just gloss black as it was plastic, so no weathering on the grip (also scope is gloss black). Some use matt black I went for a satin black, I didn't texture very much, gave it two coats of the black, on the second coat I pulled the can futher away, this gives a more textured look, After I did a bit of weathering I decided to lock the weathering by giving it two coats of satin clear, some use a matt clear. Do a bit of testing see what you like, I just preffer satin, not shinny not flat, to me just gives it a nice look.

From the threads I have found, usual size is 25mm 1" some use adjusters some don't.

Looking good in black

Oh I don't feel well

Awesome, well done

Just checked today and there was another delay so looks like 2nd week of October now for new stock, hope I'm on this short list this time

Looks awesome, nice work there

Thanks, the sky is the limit, I think you can do a lot more with a pipe build, fit more inside, there are some nice electronic threads for blasters around so I may be doing another pipe build in the future. Good luck deciding

very nice so far, keep up the good work

Nice work there, keep it up. You beat me to the id, I had thought of TK50101 lol

Looking great Karin keep up the good work

I first rubbed inside the helmet with 400 grit wet and dry sandpaper, gave it a good wipe then used a satin spray paint. Took a few days for the smell to leave the helmet, think it will be better in time. BTW do the painting before you trim so you don't have to mask all the holes . If you get any paint dust on the outside you can just polish it off.

I first converted a habro and made quite a lot of mods but it wasn't up to centruion standards, next a pipe build with some doopy add-ons. Pipe build I didn't find too difficult and was a lot of fun, also it ended up being lighter than my hasbro. I have electrics and lights in both of mine and I found with drilling the holes and attaching the t tracks you get to see the lights in the gaps, don't with a full resing kit. Doopy do a full resin kit which I have heard is quite easy to put together but there are issues with its strength. Good luck what you decide.

Rubbing down bondo is such a pain, especialy in those corners and tight spots, got your work cut out for you. Keep up the good work, you will get there in the end

You and me both, if I don't go crazy waiting for it to turn up first LOL

Really depends which area, if you have to straight pieces that will be need to be glued together then I would glue it first then try heating and bending, sometimes you need to bend a section to get the straight lines. I have been told that the e6000 glue is quite easy to remove if you make a mistake when glueing. Good Luck.

Just be carefull with the heat gun, there is a point were the plastic goes from pliable to extra soft. You can tell when it is warm enough because you can move it with a small amount of pressure, make sure when it is in the right spot to hold until it cools down, wont' take long. You can also use a hairdryer if your afraid of too much heat. Good Luck be waiting for some pics

But it is very cool, bet it will cost quite a lot too

Looking very nice there, good job Clamps

Looking good so far keep up the good work

Yay hope your build goes well, good luck

Nice work looking good there
