My Hyperfirm is delivering today!

[TK-42779[501st]]

I felt that In should share my excitement. Lol I am doing my first TK build and have ordered almost everything I need. I went with a Hyperfirm blaster as my first blaster (I will test my lack of crafting skills on a Doopy later. Lol) and it will arrive today marking this as officially the first day of this project taking off I suppose!! (My Eastbay body suit pieces arrive tomorrow but those aren't quite as exciting. Haha) *sigh* :ph34r:

Good luck Tony! My first armor kit arrived days ago, prepare for: anxiousness, excitement, and all other numerous unavoidable emotions. It's definitely a blast though! I wouldn't doubt yourself waking up to the Imperial Death March song playing in your head for the next week!

 

Wishing the best,

Julian

Nothing like the excitement of starting a first build!

 

Enjoy, and savour the wonder.

 

The journey is an amazing one.

Looking good, you could do a few mods to it if you wanted, just the fine details, it is pretty weathered too so an option of a new coat of paint is there too then a little less weathering.

I will have some more pics in the morning uploaded...for some reason Tapatalk isn't cooperating. Lol

I like the weathering! Lol Never having any experience with anything like this before I was expecting certain details to be different for the price tag l was expecting things like the scope and barrel to be cleaner and more prepped (No offence Lewis! I love the blaster!! Lol) but after further research I came to the conclusion that having it cast off the original model and the fact that it is built to take some trooping I made a good purchase. I am reading threads about customization on the Hyperfirm but I really don't think I am going to mess with it much.

This looks really cool! I like the details which were still visible on rubber. The weathering is very nice too!

Yay! Mine is scheduled to arrive today. I plan on adding a D ring to mine and making any other light mods to get it up to standard for centurion. It gives me something to do while I wait on the ATA wait list for armor. Good luck!

Must be soo many of us on the waiting list making blasters LOL

18 weeks is a long long time when you are new and anxious. The plus side is it forces me to do my homework on how to build and what mistakes I can avoid. There is a wealth of knowledge from those that built before.

[gmrhodes13[Staff]]

Well said, the more you find, the more you know you have sooo much more to learn lol

I remember getting mine from Lewis. It's a work of art, very nice!

What mods do you have planned, Leonard?

Did you do any mods to it, Jim?

[RampantLion[TK]]

I'm planning on adding a D ring, mod the scope sight with some clear plastic and cross hairs, and possibly mod the barrel with a plastic tip. I have to do some more looking into what else I can do to polish the look. There are some good threads around here.

[Stormy320]

Those are very cool. Are they still available?

Indeed they are. Send a PM to slavefive and talk to him. : ) Great guy, had an awesome buying experience.

I made a few mods so far. I used a picture I found online of an odometer for the counter and I used a picture of the sights from the forum to create a 4x6 photo. I had the photo developed and I cut the "decals" out and used some white glue on the "odometer" (as it may need replacing in the future) and used a magnifying loop from a Clip-On 7/8" Double 5X 5X Loupe Set from Amazon for the back glass (super glued). For the front sight I used a googly eye that I painted the inter barrel ----------

 

I still need to order a D ring and am debating about carving out the front sight posts...

good replica; just a note: it looks like the bayonet lock is not in the right way.
