I've been toying with this for a while, and finally decided to get properly stuck in - using the BBC PVC pipe plans - this is where I'm at:
There's front and back sights, front roughly cut out.
Mag housing which I've started to bend-up.
Inner barrel.
Scope rail - part formed.
Butt-cap and front cap with hex bolts for front cap detail.
Main body with brass rod coil spring in rear.
Trigger guard.
Stock pieces and T track.
The brass coil was a complete b1tch to form up - it's 4mm rod and I shaped it around a broom handle.. Very sore hands after that.
The trigger guard is pretty heavy guage steel - I didn't want anything too flimsy..
Lots still to do, but seeing it all together is encouraging - and I get the feeling that once I start putting these pieces in place it'll soon look like it's meant to..
I've ordered a resin scope and hengstler counter (that's the box-like thing on the side of the blaster) as I just couldn't face the prospect of spending hundreds of hours on them...
