Thanks for the compliments. I used a Hasbro E11, pvc pipe, squirt bottle, mouthwash cap, & small piece of metal. Came out pretty good, & in total about $30.00

Hello Everyone, Well I stated my TK, sort of. after almost 3yrs of having it sit in my bedroom. I've decided it's time to get this thing going. Well I was test fiting the theighs & I got distracted. I saw my ewok project. It was a large teddy bear that I bought at the Goodwill for $2.00 & a Tshirt for $1.25. Took me an hour to sew the hood, but I made an ewok instead of getting to my TK. maybe tomorrow I'll get it started.

Looks pretty sweet to me. Here is my version of the DL19. I didnt have access to any other props, so I had to make my own.

I thought I read somewhere that the original T rails were car windshield wiper blades.

I sand the entire blaster with 400 grit sandpaper. Making sure I get all the unwanted lettering off. Wipe with warm water & a paper towel. Make sure all unwanted letters are removed & fill in any unwanted screw holes with bondo. I use the premixed Bondo in a tube(redish toothpaste tube in the autoparts section). I get mine at Walmart, I think its about $3 a tube. Wait a day & sand the bondo smooth. Now I use grey primer, maybe 4 coates. Next I use silver paint. Maybe about 7-8 coats. Finally I use flat black paint with only 4-5 coats. (MAKE SURE YOU LET EACH COAT DRY INBETWEEN PAINTINGS) Now I take my 400gt or finer sandpaper & sand the entire gun lightly. Hitting the edges more where I want the silver to show through. This will give it the look of real metal underneath. You don't have to buy expensive spray paints, I use the Walmart brand at .98 a can. Here is what the finished blaster could look like. i've had my gun like this for about 3yrs now & not one paint chip.

Hey All, I use the Walmart brand of paint & primer. I use the gray primer & flat black paint. Both of these are under $1 a can. I also use a brite silver or crome paint. This color you'll have to find a brand that works. Walmart used to carry silver & it was great but has since discountiued it. I've painted several guns & other props with this paint. I've never had a problem with the paint comming off. After preping the gun. I spray several coats of primer. About 4-5. You'll want to do about 6-7 coats of the silver. make sure you let each coat dry completely. Now use the flat black about 4-5 coats. After the gun is dry I take 300 grit sandpaper & sand the whole gun lightly. Hitting the edges & places I want the silver to show through more heavy. This will sand away any imperfection & give the gun a nice smooth finish with just the right amount of "weathering". Hope this helps. If you wanna see my guns, & other props I've made you can check out the tie pilot forums. Look under BFG's Im under the name of Chunk there.

Hey All, I've seen the E11 at Target & Walmart for around $20. It seems that they do not come by the case, but maybe one or two a case of Clone & Stormtrooper blasters. Everytime I've seen them there are about four clones to one stormie. the other day I was lucky & I was at Target as they just stocked the shelves. I bought 3 with the intention of modifying into a larger sniper riffle. So far one down & two more to go....Happy Hunting

HI, Walmart has an off brand of under armor. It's called "Athletic Works" for under $10 a peice. I wear this under my "real" body armor. It is very cool & dries super fast. Great for those troops in the summer.

HI All, Does anyone know where I can get some deep spring clamps? I need them to be at least 6" deep. the only one I can find are 4" I want to plasti weld my theighs, shins & forarms. But can't find clams deep enough to go "into" the theigh or shin.

Guten Tag! I have the same problems with my calves, & theighs. But unlike your muscle mass mines fat...haha I will be using the vinyl to close the gaps on my open areas. i know your post is a lil old, but I just got here last night. My wife is from Germany(Berlin) If you need help with some translations or descriptions of what an item is we can help. Moege die Macht mit Dir sein
