Hey Dan, the height of your counter looks good to me, but I would move it a bit more forward, just enough to have it convering the scope's rear foot when looking from the side.

If all goes on like that, this build will result in a really very good blaster! Great ideas, good work and an interesting thread to follow

Any plans on filling and sanding that thin section on the scope? Seen some builds with the same scope where people used "green stuff" to modify this... In case you could still move your counter, I would suggest to place it a bit towards the end cap, just enough to cover that scope foot when looking from the side...

All looking good so far. Interesting way to make the selector switch moveable

Mike, thanks for showing how exactly you made that front sight pin. Really like this way to do it. Very authentic.

Good progress, Mike - and a very nice front sight pin! Would have loved to see some "making of" pictures. For the front sight guard, please make sure to NOT run this pattern all over the full part. It starts at different height on both sides. Btw: what have you used to make this pattern? Looks really good. Nice counter at a very cheap price. This will surely do the job. Don't forget to add black paint in the "hollowed bed" for the numbers, before gluing that window. Really curious how this will look in the end...

Hey Mike, good idea with the Lego pieces . Compared to reference pictures, your metal stripe in the ejection port appears a bit wide to me. Not sure if its just the angle in the photos... Double check some reference pictures regarding that short metal part on top of your Lego parts. This shape is a bit off. Keep the pictures coming...

Currently most information regarding the ANOVOS TK can be found in this topic: http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/30831-anovos-tk-armor-preorder/

Hi Mike, interesting progress Regarding your question above, please check some Sterling reference pictures. Would say the grey plastic barrel can be shortened a few mm. And the lipstick tube should go deeper into that grey tube...

Off to a great start and you already grabbed the bull by its horns with that modified magazine well. Following...

Fully agree with you, Dan. These sets do make more sense, if somebody has less (or even no) parts available. Anyway, that's not the topic here. The real topic is your blaster build and I am already curious what you will make with yours... Do you aim with your build for any special movie scene?

Hey Dan, was just about asking, if you would be intereested in a Completion Set, but it seems like you already have most of it already there. Keep the pictures comming and good luck on your build

Felix, will you tell us a bit more about that aluminum grip? How was that made? You didn't shape that out of a solid block, didn't you?!

following Didn't it break your heart to cut this Sterling?

That looks interesting, but you will at least have to correct scope and magazine, as these are installed wrong on those pictures. Anyway, nice find and the corrections are at a minimum.

Looks like it will do the job. It really takes some vision to see a scope rail in that first picture

Yes, the collection of spray cans and paint colors at the end becomes more expensive than the actual resin kit But the result paid off. Looking so cool! Saw just one little flaw: your counter numbers are upside down. Any chance to turn this around without damaging the window? If not, don't worry. Won't be noticed by many people...

Very good weathering! Really liking the way you run this build, John. Makes me wanna grab a completion set myself and do another build...

Interesting build so far. Did you remove the reset button of that counter or did it come without? Great work on the 3D prints.

Very good progress! Just make sure to keep the appearance of the folding stock and the main body identically. Meaning you should add that black layer to the folding stock, too (if not already done).

As it has been said, they stated things could change. Wouldn't care as long as they don't start mixing up ABS armors with PVC helmets...

That's what I've been waiting for. Gonna get fun to watch Can you check if its possible to replace the grip with a real Sterling's grip? And is that selector switch operational?

Woohooo!!! THIS reflects the evolution of pushing modifications to the limit. Really like how you combined the mods from usaeatt2 and Sith Lord.

Hi David and welcome to the FISD It is a good idea to use the waiting time for a blaster build and without your last sentence, I would have recommended to contact Derrek (DDay) to get on the waiting list for his new kits... You seem to look for the DoopyDoo's kits, so yes you are correct - for one their pipe builds you will need some additional parts which will change the price in the end. The full resin kits have everything included what you'll need (except the scope rail) but sell out very fast. If you really want to go for a DoopDoo's you can leave your email address on their homepage to be informed, if new kits are available.

One thing is for sure: with that pre-made helmet in the kit, this would at least result in a group photo with everybody having the same "face" on their helmets (no stunt or hero mixup)
