Barrel holes on Hasbro

[Wiggleplum]

I have been working on my Hasbro while I am waiting for the Doopydoo kit and it is going pretty good, I am having a lot of fun with it. But I am concerned about the holes I drilled on the barrel. Could you guys take a look and tell me if they would be acceptable? I didn't use anything but a dremel with the small metal sanding attachment, so it is pretty crude.

 

Here is a picture:---------------

 

The hole on the far right I had to partially fill with bondo and I am still in the process of cleaning it up and fixing it. Also I need to sand them all down since it is still a little raised from the track that was there. But are the holes OK?

 

Thanks everyone!

Those look good to me. Once you get the doopy parts added on, a lot of the focus gets taken away from those holes. As they stand, after you sand them down, I think they'll be just fine. Of course, I defer to the experts as I'm still part of the n00b train.

I think your vent holes will be fine, especially when you put the T-tracks on, I don't think you will notice any imperfections.

 

But if you want to clean up the holes, try this:

 

Wrap a wooden dowel rod with fine grit sandpaper (600 grit).

 

Try to find a dowel rod that will fit snugly in the vent holes (but remember to allow tolerance for the sand paper). If you cannot find a dowel that fit snug, get the closest size that will fit in there and you may have to wrap several pieces of sandpaper around the dowel rod to get it so it is snug in the vent holes on the Hasbro gun.

 

Place the sandpaper wrapped dowel in the vent holes, then make a couple turns of the dowel rod and the hole should clean up and be symetrical. Don't over do.

 

I know it is hard to wait, but my suggestion is to hold off doing anymore modifications until you have your DoopyDoo's kit, so you know what you are dealing with and maybe not have to go back and do double work.

 

Keep us updated.

Yeah, that new row of holes looks fine. It won't stand out as much after you paint it black. Well done.
