Jreeveo's Great Procrastination (A.K.A Build WIP)

So lets see....

My TM Hero armour arrived on May 4th (Uber appropriate), but the story starts a way before this.

Back in April my Doopys full resin blaster kit arrived an I was determined to start my build thread....three months on here I am finally relaying my progress to you wonderful people.

I apologise for the disjointedness of it all as I tend to get drawn in to what I'm doing and forget to take pictures.

 

We've all seen a blaster with clamp's and elastic band's all over it, so lets just assume mine looked just as exciting as all the rest (which it did)

As you can see I followed mr Billy Haggis' thread for the scoperail and hengstler bracket (which took longer to make than expected, cutting an angle iron by hand is much harder than it looks)

The Hengstler is sitting a bit too high. It should be nearly touching the folding stock. I'm in the same boat and saw several critiques regarding this over time. I still need to do it to mine....... :blush:

 

Just thought I'd chime in while you still had the chance to adjust it!

 

Looks great so far! :duim:

Cheers, I just put the bracket the wrong way, easy fix. Waiting on a new cam to take photos of newly finished blaster

 

Awesome! Now get to work on that TM, soldier! :D

Yeah the TM is trimmed and ready to go, keep an eye out for the build WIP over the coming weeks

Billy's design was very helpful, but may have to remake it at a later date (its a little off centre)

the finished product, at some point in the future I will finish up the Lenses on the scope.

Any feedback on the final outcome would be appreciated

I like it! Looks like you have things under control. If you didn't already know, the scope was made of brass so any weathering should reflect that (if you choose to go for that kind of accuracy). :)
