Blaster while waiting

[timthetoolman]

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

Nice research, here's a couple of links to my builds Hasbro build Blaster build for centurion

You'll want to look at Glen's builds. No doubt about that!

Those blasters do look good Glen.

 

Can the Hasbro be built to Centurion level?

[timthetoolman]

Ah, Tim, you already told me they would be but it might be a good toss around gun.

 

Thanks.

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.  

[timthetoolman]

Oops, that is what I meant, that they are NOT approved.

 

Thanks.

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.

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.
