I'm always forgetting something and have to make another trip.

I used auto primer on my whole build. Just FYI[emoji106]

I got some 1/2" OD rubber tubing off eBay.

When you put a ruler up to them this is how they measure out.

Hey Joe! Once I had everything painted the base color I went back and did a dry brush technique with silver paint. There's lots of videos on YouTube of dry brushing. For the the barrel I used 3" white PVC pipe from Home Depot for the large barrel and 2.5" grey electrical conduit from HD. The rings were cut from a white PVC connector.

Sweet! Here we go!!! [emoji106]

I'm here when you need me[emoji106]

And of course the resin trigger is optional whether you're going to do lights and sound or not.

I loved henselmonster's idea so much I had to make that part for my T21...

Lookin' great!

Thx Joseph! I wouldn't be totally opposed to that if I could work it out in the schedule

If you're looking for resin parts I have a thread started. Link should be in my signature[emoji106]

Sale thread is up. Click the link on my signature.

Total weight of it comes to 10.59lbs. 3.5lbs of it is the resin casts. Just FYI.

OK so this is going to be a pic heavy post but I want you guys to see everything put together. It still needs electronics but otherwise it looks like it's done Let me get my crap together for a day or two and I'll post all the info about getting resins parts for you guys to purchase. Thx for all the support and kind words as this has gone along. I really dig how this turned out...

Got the ribs on and the wire wrapped. Glad I've held up on getting this stuff to you guys. The greebies I made for the barrel are too big so I'm going to adjust and make some new ones and remold etc. Shouldn't put me back by too much. Maybe a few days or so by the time I refab, remold, recast, and repaint. lol!!! But better to catch it now rather than later.

Getting close guys I promise...[emoji106]

Bondo time[emoji16]

Now I can finish working on the barrel.

I've gotten the stock and handgrips stained and the trigger worked out I think. Here's a few pics...

Thanks! I've been trying to come up with a way to cast the transition part between the larger barrel and the smaller diameter end barrel. So then people could just use it like a "sleeve" and not have to find the perfect plastic cup to destroy. Lol!!! I think I've got something that'll work now so I just need to produce the prototype and then make the mold and cast one to make sure it works. Getting there just taking a little longer than I hoped. But almost there guys!

Here's a small update on the painting I've been doing. Here's how they've gone from resin to base coat to weathered... I also started to carve out the area for the trigger and the wiring...

I've got one more piece to fabricate and then to make a couple more molds and casts. Hopefully that will be in the next week or so. Then I should be good to put everything together. That way you guys can have a look at the finished product with all the resin parts together. All the pics so far have been cast in white resin but from here on out they'll be tinted grey;) Thanks for the interest and I'll keep you guys in loop. Cheers! Roger

Did some test painting on one of the resin cast pieces. Still needs some more work but a decent start...

Small update. I got my barrel rings cut and the handle grips ready to stain...
