Here is the blaster as it comes with the parts I ordered from shapeways. sent from my phone

So, I was able to acquire two of those Exclusive Disney Parks E11 blasters that used to be sold at the parks but disappeared from the parks when they called the ban on blasters earlier in the year. Currently, blasters are being sold through their outlet stores in Florida called Disney's Character Warehouse. These are not the same stores or outlets that you find at your typical mall. The store is not located on Disney property but at an outlet mall close by. The blasters are roughly selling for $10 usd, obviously a great deal! For the record, I have a E11 Hyperfirm that I use when blasters are permitted but wanted something for fun with lights and sounds. As you may be already aware the Disney Blaster has both stun and regular sounds with matching led lights which makes for more fun and while I don't plan on leaving the hyperfirm behind I do plan on bringing this guy along to troops I know will be more kiddo focused. Here is the action plan / checklist. 1.) Take the blaster completely apart 2.) Mod the front and rear of the blaster to accept shapeway parts 3.) Drill additional holes in barrel and add details 4.) Fill and sand 5.) Work on adding details to the scope 6.) "Upgrade" T-track 7.) Add 3d printed hengstler I have laying around 8.) Texture paint and weather it 9.) Hope it will still go "pew pew" when I put it all back together again. I wasn't sure this was something I wanted to post up here cause it's kind of amateurish but figured why not. Maybe someone can get an idea from it and run with it. I know I did. Here goes nothing...

I wonder if you are gonna need to raise the kidney plate up so the 22mm notch lines up with the ab section as shown in the second picture? sent from my phone

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

So much fun! Congrats and Happy Turkey Day!

Hey Eric, here are the pictures that were posted on Jim's facebook group.

Eric, I am curious of your thoughts on the paint job on the life size Rebels TKs from the London Disney Store. I think it may be more of a paint job achievable at different levels of experience. I can post the pictures if you haven't seen them.

I can answer question A for you. http://www.imperialboots.com/product/rebltk/ For B and C, not sure. I also think Jim may be working on a ABS version of the helmet. I'm assuming that would mean multiple pieces and similar to putting together a OT TK so not sure how that would affect the "seamless" bottom look. Currently I believe the helmet is resin/roto cast(?).

Wow! Thanks for sharing and putting all the effort in getting a video done as well! It's amazing!

Congrats brother! Looks great! sent from my phone

Balance sent. Sorry for the delay.

I seriously would have spit my drink across the room had I had one with the "load in the diaper" comment. That was hilarious! sent from my phone

You are a wizard. Is there a Billhag illustration thread somewhere that I missed? This one is new to me. If not it would be amazing to have. sent from my phone

Hey Mark, electronics123.com has simple sound boards that may work and the prices are reasonable. The one I bought fit into a double A battery holder to give you a size reference. sent from my phone

look into electronics 123.com. They have sound boards that are usb that you can drop your sounds on that may work. They are reasonably priced as well. Good luck!

Yeah, I was waiting on the shoe size and feedback on the design. So we are confident this boot will meet the CRL requirements? The only reason I ask and I know it's a different animal but I heard from someone who is building a Death Trooper that the current boot offering is in question from IB. sent from my phone

I picked up two from Target last week at 50% off. I will be using your thread to help guide! Great job!!

I have a pair of TK boots and ordered my size and need a shoe horn to get them on. I wonder if I should go up a half or full size? I'll email IB and see.

Hey Eric, they look good. Do you know if they are any wider that the other TK boots?

Awesome! Great job everyone!

Looking good!

I just saw this pick posted on Instagram. Interesting to see the finish is consistent between the show and looks like Disney store prop displays. sent from my phone

Hello, I drive a scion xd and this guy fits in the back. Everything fits inside including helmet. When I first purchased it, I had a corolla and it easily fit in the back seat. A couple of peeps in my garrison use this bin as well. It's pretty sturdy, so far I have 12 troops in various terrain and distances from car to dressing room and the wheels haven't fallen off yet. Lastly while my back doesn't appreciate it, it will even support my kiddos when they usually want to "catch a ride" on it. They will sit at the very end of it as I get stuck pulling them around.<br><br> <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='https://www.walmart.com/search/?query=Sterilite%2040%20Gallon%20Wheeled%20Industrial%20Tote-%20Black'>https://www.walmart.com/search/?query=Sterilite%2040%20Gallon%20Wheeled%20Industrial%20Tote-%20Black</a>
