    No pencils in sight for this bit - I spent my lunch break staring at pictures of real Hengstler counters. Although I don’t have the correct font, I did work with some basic shapes and effects to create my “number dial”. I’ve printed copies with the TK number that I’ll request, but don’t want to put them online in case I jinx it. ;-) ... se the photo taken of my computer screen. A couple of different designs. Of course, they look different behind Perspex and will be very small when inside the counter. ... Qite pleased for a first attempt. ... re-worked the resin mag clip as the Doopy’s is some way from authentic. Wrk in progress - will work further on it and upload more pics later. ... As always, more to follow. :-)

    Hengstler Counter numbers looking great, like mine and Tennant's! In my estimation, you've go the right font and dimensions as well.

    Cheers Jesse. Yes, Amazon Prime is pretty speedy. :-) I’m quite an artistic person* so hoping that transfers to my blaster painting skills. ;-) ... My family’s been passing around a virus around the house over the last few days (yuk) but all recovering now. Hopefully I can start to make further progress on my blaster soon. :-)

    Ahh, talent revealed - a steady hand on a pencil began first ahead of those surgeon hands on a blaster! Some tips from Adam Savage: Mask, Mask, Mask to make different paints, placed side-by-side pop, and also for adding accents: 'less, in most cases, is more' - have fun painting!!!!

    Hi all,

    A miniscule of updates, but an update nonetheless. I followed up today with more modifications to the folding stock handle.

    I applied my dremel tool to take away the resin rivets on either side of the handle.

    Following, washers had their inner diameters widened by using a round file attached to my drill. This after learning that using a drill bit will just make the washers slip every which way even on Vise-Grips. I ended up mangling the washers quite a bit, even warping them. Heating them up using my heat gun and hammering them flat did the trick. I then glued them into place using E-6000. Hopefully, the mangled look will add to the battle-damaged look I will by going for during the paint phase.

    I then countersunk the pin using a 3mm drill bit against the 5mm solid aluminum pin. This will help to give it that real rivet look. I may use 'blue tak'  as Brian suggested earlier to give a strong but not permanent hold of the pin against the handle. This may very well allow me to disassemble the guts of my folding stock so to get at the pencil, if I need to replace it, as I fear the latch may break  away from the wood due to constant use.

    Haha, I think it looks alright!

    Nice central capacitors Dan! - looking like the real deal :jc_doublethumbup: If you get the green stuff to flare out; they will be more like the originals as used on screen, following Andy's (Playfulwolfcub) research. See page 22 of his document found here: E-11 Power Cylinders Research Thread (renamed from "3 Central Fuses...")

    As for working with green stuff; I found putting a little bit of corn starch on your hands before forming with take away some of the stickiness making the task easier.
