Mike, You may of lost the thrill of trooping, but you sure bring a lot to the table for everyone! I am getting ready to start on my bucket and armor. I found your videos to be very informative. Thanks for sharing them. Christaan

Here is the next round of progress, the fires and heat in SoCal have been slowing me down! Time to remove the front sight Carefully using cut-off wheel and exacto to realease part Small parts to prep for paint-front piece of main sight,back piece of main sight,front sight,barrel tip,trigger Next, application of sight knob on right side Home made greeblies, from oven bake clay- once finetuned I will make molds Marking the gap between front folding stock piece and arm Adding extention to folding stock using internal plastic from blaster Profile of counter clip Barrel tip, here's were I need help! Is this the correct position of tip? completed so far Now I need to paint a little inside and put the guts in and close her up so i can finish the outside!

Thanks for the support guys! I really appreciate it. Good luck on your upcoming builds, as well. I am lucky to have some help close by. I have signed up with the SoCal garrison and they have a mentor program to help upcoming troopers. There are 3 guys within minutes of me that can assist with my build and provide pointers. I think it is so great that so many troopers out there are willing to help and offer advice. Once I get started I will do a build thread.

I just received my ATA bucket and armor yesterday. When I got home last night I was so excited, then I noticed a very small box. My ESB hand plates had arrived, as well. I would like to say a great big thank you to Terrell and Paul(Troopermaster) for their assistance in making one of my childhood dreams a reality. ESB elite here i come!!! I am most grateful

Thank you for your kind words. This is something I have been putting off for a long time. You guys just gave me a boost to get back out there and keep going! BTW- I have a BA in studio art, so I have slight advantage More progress coming soon!

Paul, Thank you so much! I received them yesterday.Ironically, my ATA armor and bucket came the same day. ESB elite here I come!!!

I have been working on my first hasbro mod. I am going ESB with my armor so I need a blaster to fit the theme. I hope my pics work below. I started with the removal of the site pieces and barrell tip to remove the guts of the blaster. I then marked and cut-out the counterbox with a cut-off wheel and cutter tip. I then filled in the site with part of the front site and a piece of PVC Next, was to carefully modify the plastic that I cut away from counter box. After that I filled all the seems with bondo and sanded flush Removed part of lower left T-track and drilled holes Carefully removed C from first hole on right and then drilled a new hole and re-attached C in opposite direction A liittle more work and this is where I am at now! Let me know what you guys thing so far

Cut and paste seems to be the problem. I have not noticed the mail to: addition, but that makes sense if it is adding additional info. I just ran into this problem last night and PP went thru after hand typing address in. Just thought I would add to the concensus! Christaan

Paul, PM received, Thanks again. Can't wait to get them! Christaan

Paul, Payment sent as requested.Look forward to getting them. Now I have to decide on rubber or silk gloves. Thanks Christaan

Troopermaster, I am interested in a set of hand plates.PM sent! Thanks
