Question: I notice almost everyone here does a full resin or PVC/resin blaster. I have already completed a scratch build from templates I downloaded at the BBC (Blaster Builders Club) site, and started another using those same templates, along with some information/drawings I found on this site. It has been a very rewarding experience, though very challenging and time-consuming. Is there a reason most builders seem to be using the resin kits vs. scratch build? Are scratch built blasters approvable, or are resin blasters the standard? My first scratch build, complete and painted... The folding stock is functional. My second blaster, still a work in progress... Functional folding stock and trigger. Is approval for a scratch build worth pursuing, or should I abandon these projects in favor of a resin kit?

This is what I used for t-tracks... ---------- The section is not a conventional "T", but you really can't tell when it's assembled. I cut them 1/2" wide, 1/4" on either side of the raised extrusions. I rigged a Dremel with a cutoff wheel in a fixture with a guide rail to make a nice, clean cut. The material bends easily enough when heated carefully. I made a jig with a 60 degree angle and got the perfect bend angle every time. Trim and sand to fit, glue in place. Here's what it looks like... ----------
