  1. Hi All,
     
    I set about to do some precision work here on fitting my custom magazine into my modified doopydoos magazine housing. I managed not to break the magazine well when dremeling to thin down the walls. Let's just say I slept well last night and had many sighs of relief. To fit the magazine, further nips and tucks were needed to get it to fit just right. The same goes with the thinning of the walls. After dremeling, used a square file to corner out the inside of the hollowed magazine well.
     
    Spent 40 minutes on the dremel getting out the remaining resin inside my hollowed out magazine well. I borrowed this set-up from a genius TK who posted a while back which gave me the confidence to come at this task. With a low rotation setting on my dremel and the right dremel attachment (this little attachment has been very valuable: thanks Dan for the recommendation), I was able to keep control and dremel away at the 1 to 2mm of resin that remained, and so widening the well to desired.

    Further revisions to custom styrene plastic magazine for fitting into modified doopydoos magazine housing - magazine now fully inserted inside magazine well

    Magazine well further thinned and corners on the inside made sharp to take in custom magazine

    Micro revisions to custom styrene magazine and magazine well completed - two pieces fit well together with the precision I want - more plastic was cut away from the magazine and more resin was filed away from the magazine well. I also managed to scale down the magazine latch, I'll call it, and have it's corners come close to the magazine well opening. I also managed to do this with the corners on the back end of the magazine as well. Some curvature to the magazine was also captured too, which further lends to a realistic interpretation of the piece. thoroughly happy with these details as I had contemplated on how to capture them for quite some time.

    Hi Bryn,

    Great thread, and a wonderful result! I may have missed it but, do you have any pics or details of the part you made to go inside the barrel please (with the spring and cocking handle attached)? Did you make this using a PVC pipe? I've got my DoopyDoos kit on order and want to be as prepared as possible. 

    Many thanks, 

    Dan

     

    Hey there Dan, I will have a look for you..

     

    Have a look at the pic's on my gallery for how i did the bolt etc.. Really it was cosmetic on the outside (ejector port) and I used a marker shoved into a PVC pipe that came with TJ's completion set.. I finished both the outside and the bolt with a flat piece of plastic shaped and glued on..

  3. Yeah, I was hoping to submit Centurion application with my own blaster. Well, have to move on.

    I have the same problem here in Australia, luckily for my first build my doopy kit got through customs. But for my second build I have been ordering the parts separately from a few diffident sources and all bits have got through so far.. I think all I still need is the pipe..

     

    Good luck Syahrin!
