I used a krylon hammered on the barrel, and rust-o-lium plastic for the plastic pieces

the bolt ready to be installed.

What respectible trooper would use anything but full automatic??

Sorry i haven't posted in a few days, I've been dealing with a pinched nerve in my neck.

beginning to work on the inner barrel. I chose a wood dowel and it worked wonderfully.

First coat of paint.

I I am going to make the folding stock functional. Here is the assembly together, and reasy to be fitted.

If I superglued the pin in it wouldn't be able to come off. I used the pin to help align it, and I have used E6000 to glue the two parts together but I am thinking of superglueing them. I want this assembly to be solid.

Thanks, ill give it a shot. its a really nice kit.

I've found out that E6000 doesn't hold very well to the metal pipe, superglue is great though. I am going to have to get a magazine lock and a scope/counter rail before I can finish it. I'll post a picture of what I have soon.

Give the crew a cookie, IE was the problem. I can use firefox to upload pictures.

Drilled out the holes and cleaned the edges.

The folding stock, after cleaning up and getting ready for drilling and painting.

The end cap all together, I put a brass pin to line it up.

Not yet. I normally use Internet Explorer for the majority of my online searches. I may try Firefox and see how that works.

IE 11 thanks.

I'm having the same issues, I'm using photobucket and I've tried all the recommendations but I still lock up at the image properties screen. any other ideas.

I made a mistake, No Lord Vader!!!, (insert choking sound) I won't fail you again. I will have to repaint some of the plastic parts. The paint I used did not stick to the plastic, and when I removed the tape some of it came off. I will make the most of it and let it help with the aging. I have a bunch of pictures and as soon as I get my Photobucket account up I'll post them

I've been working on it for the past couple of days. It's a great break from studying computer technology, and it's been a challenge. All the parts are well done and I'm happy with the way the kits coming. I'm not going to do anything too fancy as this is my first kit. I put together most of the minor assemblies and then I've been painting a thin coat of silver on some of them and then going over it with black. That way in the future if the paint does chip off a little it will look more realistic. The only part that I see I'm going to have to do any definite filling in is with the power cylinder piece. I'll post more pictures when I get the chance, I've been taking them as I've progressed.

The cap all glued together. And the mounting piece that goes inside it. I drilled out the little dimple in the And I'm going to use that to push a pin to hold the two pieces together.

There are a few places that need to be filled in, but over all I am pleased. I've not worked with a Doopydoo's kit but I expect most kits like this to have a few bad spots. I may take a few of the spots and use them to help with the aging look.

I decided to start with the rear cap. I cleaned it up, sanded it down and ended up the putting in a pin to keep it all centered. The last picture is a dry fit to make sure I liked the way it looked. Then a little E6000 and tape it down to set.

The holes to mount the grip and the magazine holder are pre-drilled. For the pieces that have to be glued on I'm going to use E6000 glue

I had a box waiting for me at the front door yesterday, just in time for the long weekend. I will post more pictures as I go along, I plan on making this as detailed as I can. This is going to be a blast.

I don't know off hand. If you sign up they will notify you when they are back in stock. I bought a dvh kit instead.
