Arsnik Posted July 9, 2016 Report Posted July 9, 2016 (edited) I found this on Ebay and then watched the guy's assembly videos on YouTube. The kit looks nice, seems easy enough to construct and has an operable bolt and collapsible stock. My only question was the durability. I emailed the supplier and he said that he has dropped testing it and the blaster was damaged on the 3rd drop but the damage was easily repaired. Has anyone purchased this kit and Trooped with it?

alexcaliburrito[TK] Posted July 9, 2016 Report Posted July 9, 2016 (edited) After 3 weeks I finished mine tonight, the guy also sells sound kits for it. Its very light weight. If you take your time with it, it can withstand alot when finished. Ive dropped it twice on concrete. And it only scuffed my paint.

alexcaliburrito[TK] Posted July 9, 2016 Report Posted July 9, 2016 (edited) Its durable as long as you finish it with a few layers of XTC 3D High Performance 3D Print Coating - 6.4 oz. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited July 9, 2016 by alexcaliburrito Quote
Arsnik Posted July 9, 2016 Author Report Posted July 9, 2016 Any build tips or pictures of your finished blaster to share? Quote
zemzero Posted July 9, 2016 Report Posted July 9, 2016 Does the plastic have ridges from the printing or did he do that acetone vapor thing to smooth it all out? I'd be interested but I wouldn't want the ridges to be showing and certainly don't intend to sand all those parts. Quote
swibowoj[TK] Posted July 9, 2016 Report Posted July 9, 2016 (edited) Based on his videos, He was sanded all the parts. Interesting build, is he 501st member and (or) FISD member? Edited July 9, 2016 by swibowoj Quote
alexcaliburrito[TK] Posted July 9, 2016 Report Posted July 9, 2016 I will post some pics of mine soon. Its rough around the edges, but I will be putting on a few coats of XTC to smooth it all out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote

I'd be interested but I wouldn't want the ridges to be showing and certainly don't intend to sand all those parts. I have both the original (inaccurate) and the Uber versions. They do require detail sanding on all visible surfaces, but that's the only hard part of the build. I used gorilla glue to assemble mine and have trooped a few times with it. I have the lights and sound kit on the Uber. It's great for pictures. I do NOT allow anyone else to handle my blaster. It can easily be repaired with super glue but I'd just as soon avoid that. This is not a blaster you kick around, throw into a bin, let kids play with...it's a display piece that can handle light trooping and picture ops easily. It is not indestructible. Pictures below are NOT photoshopped. This is the light kit that can be purchased (recommended for coolness factor). ---------- Edited October 10, 2021 by gmrhodes13 link not working removed Quote
KingYeti Posted July 15, 2016 Report Posted July 15, 2016 I recently noticed that he'd updated the charging port to a more accurate location, in addition to the electronics. Still very fragile though. Don't want to drop it. Quote
SheaJeff[TK] Posted July 16, 2016 Report Posted July 16, 2016 I have this kit. It's a ton of sanding and even then isn't the greatest and is really fragile. It's so time consuming I haven't even finished it. Can't imagine tripping with it. Save your money and buy a hyperfirm if you're looking for something to troop with. Quote
alexcaliburrito[TK] Posted July 16, 2016 Report Posted July 16, 2016 Its fragile until you put resin on it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote

alexcaliburrito[TK] Posted July 16, 2016 Report Posted July 16, 2016 (edited) I was using the 3D coating to smooth out my gun, noticed how solid it was after a few light coats. I dropped it a few times by accident and nothing flew off of it after the coating. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited July 16, 2016 by alexcaliburrito Quote
SheaJeff[TK] Posted July 17, 2016 Report Posted July 17, 2016 Pretty expensive stuff. Glad to know if worked for you Do you apply if before or after painting? Quote

SheaJeff[TK] Posted July 17, 2016 Report Posted July 17, 2016 (edited) Good to know since I already painted it a bit. Thanks a lot. This makes me feel better about making this into something troop-able. Edited July 17, 2016 by SheaJeff Quote

I dont think the order of putting it on matters, you can still sand the coating and paint over it if you like, it works well either way. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
