Hi all,
There are many threads that detail the process behind the Tip Top Workshop blaster kit in all its forms and variations, but I wanted to combine my progress with the many questions that will come up along the way. It will certainly help me to keep track of the steps and when the questions arise.
I have previously printed and built a different kit, using my workplaces intense industrial plastic prototype machine, and rushed through every mistake in preparation, sanding, painting and building. It was a great experience but the kit from Tip Top was so much better, in every way.
Just to catch up to where I am at this stage. I went for the Anders kit, with pewter parts and hardware kit. I unpacked and checked the kit, going through the Anders instruction to gather up the parts, bagging each page into sections, marking up the instructions, and noting issues to research. For each section, I did some basic 400 sanding to remove any burrs, drilled and tapped the threads for each screw and pin used. I ensured fit and made a list of things to deal with once I took it apart again.
I have been referring to “wayouteast” and his instructions list, with full image catalog of a successful build: Anders Pedersen / Tip Top Workshop PKD blaster build
Also using “CHS111” and their build notes: I finished my Blade Runner Deckard blaster!
Here it is …
..with many steps still to go.
