Does your flash hider match the real deal? In other words if we have a flash hider already will the adapter and barrel fit?
Does your flash hider match the real deal? In other words if we have a flash hider already will the adapter and barrel fit?
The inside diameter and the threading should be pretty close to the real deal FHs. But recently we've realized that the inside depth, overall length and possibly the smallest inside diameter at the base of the cone appear to also vary a little from FH to FH.
So the large diameter of the boosters should fit well with real flash hiders, but the front small part of the booster that fits inside at the base of the cone may or may not fit great depending on your FH.

I just tried the booster in the replica MG81 Steel FH I have and it fits fine.
I don't know if it would fit in other versions unless it was accurately modeled off a genuine Mg81 FH.
That's good news, as that is what I'll be using. I assume you are referring to the one Machina Atrium did a few years ago.kpax said:
Any new updates?
The prototyping is taking a tad longer than we expected. But no worries, everything's still moving!
-Carson
When all the prototyping is done, will there be some kind of kit available?
I apologize if this question has been asked already.
No worries. Just a pathetic lack of patience on my part.
Take your time. I need some time to build up the cheddar to afford the million and a half projects I have going all at once!deadbolt said:

I've reached the point where I'm using soda bottle caps & garden hose caps to try & make a flash hider...so I'm REALLY anxious to see someone start producing this stuff soon.
Disregard my post, below. Finally found it here on the RPF after lots o' searching:
"http://www.therpf.com/f9/han-solo-es...ml#post1452600"
Anyone have schematics/diagrams/measurements for the scope mount on the hero blaster? Try as I might, I can't seem to locate that detail anywhere, (although I'm certain I've seen images showing 1:1 scale plans)...
Thanks in advance for any information/assistance,
Lharles

Glad to see you found what you were looking for. But be careful though, that link leads to one of the domains created when the RPF was hacked.lharles said:
Yes there is a run planned fairly soon for these parts and an interest thread will be started in the JY once all of the prototypes are corrected and finished up.Caveneau said:

Updated the URL in my post with the correct, non-hacked address.
Here's an update of parts:
Antenna and T Track. Not great pics but I will retake and post with parts on frame to see how they look.
Note that we decided to make the antenna and track MerrSonn length so they can be trimmed to fit individual (s) models.
I hope to assemble and cast a "sight unit" just as an extra.
Also note that I had one antenna made sans rings just to see how it looked.
Looking great, Pat!
Actually it's pretty cool seeing what t-track looks like in aluminum.
-Carson
Very cool.
How would the antennas be attached to the T-Track?
Glue or 2 part epoxy?
Caveneau said:
I'm sure they can be attached many ways. Epoxy would work well.
I think we should glue the RIGHT antenna and T Track blade on with Epoxy and the Left antenna on with bubble gum so it falls off just like the real one...
I am making a "sight unit" that should be easier to use. I'll post when I get it done.
Ok... so I cast the antenna parts and Track and experimented a bit since I was not convinced how the antenna sat on the blaster.
I offer these photos and opinions for comment and consideration.
First, The MerrSonn, shown with Full T Track and then with base cut off.
Second, The MerrSonn as compared to the promo shot, note match.
The MerrSonn had to be this way, with the Antenna sitting on the barrel, not the track base.
This is how the sight would look if it had the full Track with antenna sitting on the base.
Way too high and would be obvious.
This shows the antenna head only... and the right antenna with Track blade for comparison in "best location"
This shows the different possible positions and configurations that the antenna/Track could have been...
This shows the "best configuration" ( IMO)
Above you see the position with the Track blade and without (only glue) If this were epoxy there would be more.
Here it lines up perfectly. The rest of the junk there is glue residue.
Lines up perfect here. Note detail of the barrel and chamfer looking like it "could be" the Track base.
To me, this is how the front sight unit had to be originally made...more or less.
It seems that the only way the antenna remnants line up correctly is if the Track base was cut off at the base radius as shown. This way the antenna head lines up with the HERO top view perfectly and if "broken" off the residue of the blade would show in the same spot as above...and it looks reasonable.
Makes sense to me... how bout you guys?

one more thing...
note the strange curved highlight reflection on the right side of the track blade near the FH.
