gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted September 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 The grip comes seperate to the trigger and trigger guard, normally they are to be glued on, I decided to make mine functional, not that hard to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK-42779[501st] Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Holy hell, I just bought a Hyperfirm and (no offence, Lewis!) now I have blaster envy. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted September 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Armor envy is worse lol Just tidying up a bit of the electrics, lazer is in the front. Looks good when you fire at something you can see where you have hit I sourced the lazer from this builders level I found a plastic bottle that just fits over the front piece, takes up the gap in the pipe, shame the pipe in Aus is a bit bigger, not to worry fits snuggly and allows me to be able to take the lights out if one blows. I used a small piece of wire to hold the two hi-bright leds, keeps them central in the barrel. And here the lights working Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clamps[TK] Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 ah man, you got out in front of me!!! I need to cut my hengstler bracket still and paint before I can full assemble. Let's see some photos from the other side too!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted September 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Ahhhh yes but you have the armor lol. Other side pic Going to try give it a coat of satin clear to lock in the weathering, hope this afternoon if if warms up. Then after it has dried I have to strip it down again, put in the electronics and internals then assemble again.

Locitus[Admin] Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Looks good! Although technically the grip cannot have any worn metal weathering since the sterling grips are plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted September 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Thanks Mathias, didn't know about the grip, just about to fix that now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locitus[Admin] Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Same goes for the T-track. Although in an idealistic way they would have to be metal to act as cooling fins. Plastic doesn't transfer heat very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
