timthetoolman Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 I've ordered ATA armor and I'm looking at starting my blaster. I've seen a couple designs and I'm thinking about what route to take. I saw a cool design on Youtube, and somewhere here I think, where the guy put sound and light in his blaster. I've always wanted to play with those arduino boards so maybe this would be the time. Not sure how complicated I want to make the first one though. I might need something a bit quicker since I have the rest of the accessories to round up still. Tim Waychoff gave me this link http://www.doopydoos.com/star-wars-props-and-replicas-31-c.asp I assume I could order the accessories from them to use on a PVC tube. I have a lathe and access to a mill, laser engraver and 3d printer from a friend. If I had a small part that was detailed I could draw it in Solidworks and ask to use his 3d printer but I wouldn't want to do large parts on it, it's a bit expensive. Just some ideas, I'll have to keep reading and find out what options are out there. I like the kit he ordered http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/26179-a-small-slightly-beat-up-brown-box-arrived-recently-doopydoos-full-resin-anh-e-11-build/ I'll have to look at it and other threads and figure it out Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark PWF[Staff] Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 You'll want to look at Glen's builds. No doubt about that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timthetoolman Posted November 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 Those blasters do look good Glen. Can the Hasbro be built to Centurion level? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timthetoolman Posted November 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 Ah, Tim, you already told me they would be but it might be a good toss around gun. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark PWF[Staff] Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 I'm assuming you meant that they will NOT be approvable for Centurion, as that is what I would have told you about a Hasbro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timthetoolman Posted November 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 Oops, that is what I meant, that they are NOT approved. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timthetoolman Posted November 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 Ha, my wife just learned the Tusken Raider mask she is looking at has latex...she's allergic to latex but she wants it anyway and said she could wear something under it...ugh! It would be easier for me to make her what she needs but time may be an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khazid[TK] Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 There is a great thread on an arduino based E-11 by Skyone in the Electronics for Blasters/Helmets sub-forum. I tried to paste a link to it, but I guess I don't have enough posts yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
