[QUOTE="Corellianexports, post: 5241968, member: 497"] Next up is the left side parts and the flash hider installation. [ATTACH alt="IMG_3052.JPG"]1504208[/ATTACH] Because the side rods parts are painted as one piece, there's no need to glue anything. [ATTACH alt="IMG_3053.JPG"]1504209[/ATTACH] The painters tape is removed from the parts and I double check the placement of the flash hider against some of the reference photos. It's about an inch from where the pistol barrel ends and the extension begins. I use a small amount of contact cement inside the flash hider and install it on the barrel extension: [ATTACH]1504210[/ATTACH] The side rod is a little loose, so I use a few drops of super glue on both set screws and wiggle the part a bit to make sure the glue gets between the threaded holes and the sets screws. The prop is left to dry over night. Here's a few "as built" photos of the blaster, completely assembled: [ATTACH alt="IMG_3055.JPG"]1504212[/ATTACH] [ATTACH alt="IMG_3056.JPG"]1504215[/ATTACH] [ATTACH alt="IMG_3057.JPG"]1504216[/ATTACH] [ATTACH alt="IMG_3058.JPG"]1504217[/ATTACH] [ATTACH alt="IMG_3059.JPG"]1504218[/ATTACH] [ATTACH alt="IMG_3060.JPG"]1504219[/ATTACH] Up next, weathering and final photos. :) [/QUOTE]
