hestonkent Posted September 10, 2016 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 Finally set aside some time to build a solid working prototype. Any interest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookie Nomster Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 I would say yeah, there is. I've already ordered parts to convert one the non-lighted version I received last week into a lighted version using LEDs and 3v batteries....hope it works out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to see the results if you get it working! I was very impressed with some of the modifications some of my other customers here did on theirs, I know firsthand how hard that stuff can be - it was fairly on the easy side for me since I redesigned some of the parts to house the lights and batteries. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hestonkent Posted September 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 If I had an FO defiantly something I might be interested in, are you offering to sell or just as a one time thing? Considering doing a short run of perhaps 15 or so to see how interested people are in these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scouter477 Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 Well I would most definitely be interested even just as a collectable for now, have you decided on a price? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hestonkent Posted September 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 Well I would most definitely be interested even just as a collectable for now, have you decided on a price? Still working that one out, won't be too far from the prices of the current blasters I'm selling at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scouter477 Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 Still working that one out, won't be too far from the prices of the current blasters I'm selling at the moment. From the prices I've seen on your website they look very nice, I would have no problem purchasing one as long as it was able to ship with minimal problems from CBSAs end 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hestonkent Posted September 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2016 Alrighty, got some things wrapped up and already updated the etsy listing to reflect the LED versions. Here's some pictures: LEDs can be controlled by (for the red LEDs) turning their appropriate cap clockwise for ON and counter-clockwise for OFF. Flashlight can be controlled by twisting it clockwise for ON and counter-clockwise for OFF. The flashlight is attached to the silver ring on the front end, which can be pulled out of it's socket in order to access the cap in the rear and swap out the batteries when necessary. LEDs take 1.5v LR41 batteries - each blaster comes with a full set of replacements. The batteries can be swapped by unscrewing each LED's cap and swapping the old ones with new ones. Links to order on my website are here: ------------------ Current turnaround time is (last updated sept 20) 2-3 weeks, will update as orders come in if necessary. US Shipping only, again, please use a shipping forwarding service if you're outside of the US. Also if you'd like to order via paypal you can send the payment to heston3dsolutions@gmail.com (add $15 for shipping) and include your name/shipping address and the variation you are ordering. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scouter477 Posted September 17, 2016 Report Share Posted September 17, 2016 Kinda new with shipping out of country, would something like FedEx work to Canada? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hestonkent Posted September 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2016 Kinda new with shipping out of country, would something like FedEx work to Canada? What province are you in? May be able to work something out, dealing with Canadian customs is definitely more lax than other (especially european) countries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scouter477 Posted September 18, 2016 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 I'm in Ontario, generally I think the law is more of a common sense type of thing for replica weapons, but I might be mistaking, been a while since I've looked at laws Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hestonkent Posted September 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 (edited) Turnaround time is now 2-3 weeks from order. Will continue to update as more orders come in. Edited September 20, 2016 by hestonkent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark PWF[Staff] Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 Heston, can you share some pictures that indicate what we'd need to do to change the batteries? Open compartments, etc? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hestonkent Posted November 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 Same goes for the mag: The front light is a little bit different: Once you've got that pulled out the cap comes right off like the others. These run on LR41 batteries, by the way. Each blaster includes a replacement set for all 3 lights, and the LEDs are supposed to be rated for at least 5 hours of on-time before you should need to change them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dashador Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 Has anyone tried sanding this blaster down before to get rid of the printed lines, or is it not thick enough? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hestonkent Posted November 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 Just a heads up, running the black friday promotions now on my Etsy page and website. Use BLACKFRIDAY2016 to get 25% off any of the blasters. Also running a promo for those who want to get some blasters for their local garrison, order 4 blasters and get a 5th blaster for free, can be used with the black friday promo as well. PM me if you're interested in the garrison promo so I'll make sure to add a blaster to the shipment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
