ROTS DC-15 S Carbine Blaster, first scratchbuild *PIC-Heavy*

Add some more pictures:

Continue work:

Find a new pipe for the barrel, cut styrene strips for barrel

try out some greeblies:

I'm going to use the PP-Pipe from the beginning, not the show PVC-Pipe above, because of the bigger diametet of the PVC, it looks unproportional to me.

So i've used a plastic primer on the PP, looking forward if the paint an polystyrene-strips will stay on the primer.

Work contínues with the Barrel:

Seems to be a lonesome thread:

...my mother always warned me at people talking with themselves...


Finished the barrel and primed everything one more time:

looking sweet! you might have to switch out the round screws on the handle for flat head screws so it's flesh with the wood....this way it will make it easier for you to put a grip cover on. (unless of course that's the look your going for)...it's just an idea.

keep adding little details here and there and it will slowly but surely get better and better...just make sure not to go over board!

keep up the good work

Oh, you´re not alone - i´m looking.

I have this blaster on my todo-list, but atm. i´m not educated enough on it to give anyone tips or critic - so i´m just enjoying to watch the progress.

I've just bought a "cheapo" scrollsaw, pipes, sheets of mdf and started


But the next one will be better, every step leads to new experiences and improves your skills

That´s the great thing at this hobby, getting better with every build.

My main problem is .... i want it made from metal.

I think i would cover the marked area with some rubbergrip, for example a rubbersole for shoerepair

i just had a crazy idea....how about instead of a rubber sole you use a floor mat from a car...its much thinner and it has cool textures to work with

floormats are also a good idea, will keep in mind.

I'm thinkíng about this thin waffle-weave pattern rubber used for heels

Nice to see another DC15 blaster

Do it with the Rolling Stones:


"Paint It Black!"

Wait for assembly and weathering...

Indeed.
Thats why the screwheads on my blaster are inside the handle instead of on the outside.



Screwheads on the outside are more exposed to wear and tear, paint will chip off very easily.

The bolts on my h&k G3 back in army were also outside.
Just to pull them out easy to disassemble for clean and check.

Added some detail:


as mentioned above make the grip from rubbersole:
