Don't try your sweet talking with me Brian [emoji1] At the moment I have more scopes than blaster projects so I think I'll give my wallet a short break and not start planning another just yet. My next scope will be one of your M19 beauties. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've only had M38 scopes so far so I might have to get an M19 just for fun Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Those sure are mighty pretty little things. I can't wait to get started on mine but life has raised it's annoying head again leaving me with very little time. Trying to get organised for my first troop too. Excited [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That's where the problem might lie with fieldmarshalls kit. Have you seen how crazy good that stuff is? I've ordered a few parts from him that should hopefully arrive in the next week or so. Time will tell if they get stopped. Again will depend on the description declared for shipping. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Great information on importing blasters to the UK Chris. I wonder how it will work with blaster kits like the one Chris - Fieldmarshall is working on? I've imported bits and pieces of blasters ( bolt, grip, stock etc) but none been metal or have been as obvious as a full receiver tube. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I went with score and snap method as I'm used to using a knife. As for sandpaper I used 80 grit for rough sanding to get to trim lines then 180 or above for final sanding. I think I used mostly 320 grit in case I slipped. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

These are the base for the rogue one blasters I believe. Not the blaster version but the air soft sterling. Have a good look in the weapons locker at the rogue one section and it will give a great deal of information on these Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That should fit no problem as mine does fit in the 113ltr. That's without the helmet of course. It's separate in an oxford lidsack. I couldn't go larger due to my restrictive car [emoji6] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Great read as always guys. Love the information on the R1 blaster. Well done Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Congratulations and welcome to centurion Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks man. I'd actually like to do another doopydoo build in the future to see what I can do differently. I actually got a doopy kit for my future son-in-law and he hasn't built it yet. Perhaps I could offer to help him out by building it for him? Just to help him out of course [emoji6] Nothing in it for me [emoji6] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for your kind words Tino. Praise coming from the master means a lot. My shiny blaster matches my shiny armour. I will probably revisit the paintwork and add weathering. Never got to the brass paint in the scope as I had planned. I'm very happy with the results for my first build. My next build will be twofold as I managed to get my hands on a deactivated sterling while collecting the parts for an aluminium pipe build so they will probably start off together. Both will be documented in as detailed build threads as I can manage starting with the scopes I'm expecting from Brian (Bulldog44) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That's a sweet case. It would go nicely with the R2-D2 carry-on luggage I have. Just the carry-on droid I was looking for http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/1e45/ I've reached out to Tony at assassin graphics but I'm trying to get my hands on a High resolution image of the Imperial Scottish Squad logo for him so I can get it put on my plates. I'll wait and see how the bin works out before I decide whether I need something else.

I masked off the areas that were not being done with hammerite and sprayed that on top of the primer then removed masking tape and sprayed satin black where required as the hammerite was a gloss finish. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Figured it would be a pain in the chucks to import. Hadn't considered a rubber blaster seriously before as the details weren't as sharp as resin or pipe builds but this one had me considering it. I think I'll stick with my doopydoo for trooping and build other pretty things for display [emoji16] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just found this thread and it is a goldmine of information for me as I'm intending to start a sterling conversion soon and this is the first time I have found someone showing how they drilled a genuine hengstler for mounting. Fantastic work and an awesome looking blaster. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I used hammerite on my doopydoo resin blaster after laying down a good even undercoat/primer. Gave a good look. As Joseph said make sure you mask off well to avoid getting it everywhere. It is a pain in the wookie to get it off the little intricate areas if you overspray. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is what put us all here. Thank the Maker. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The nerves will fade as you get further into your build. I took me over a year to finish my armour as I was scared of messing it up but the support you will find here will help you get past any obstacle. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's all cool Brian. Am happy to wait until you're sorted. [emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Got my form filled in Brian [emoji16][emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is like waiting on Christmas. Hurry santa Brian Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You're doing great here and you're following some great threads. I followed the same people's work and made it all the way to centurion. You can do it too. Looking forward to seeing this all come together for you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don't think anyone would even notice if the lenses are not perfect as they will be too busy just admiring your scopes [emoji106][emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
