This might have been asked already but can somebody help me with the selector switch? I can't seem to get it off

Remove the screw from the opposite side then it just pulls out

tomm1999 Thank you. I couldn't for the life of me figure that one out for some reason lol

As a follow up to that, i've got the switch off and i've got a metal plate. What's a good filler for the remaining holes?

Also, is there a anything special that should be use for attaching the plates to the gun and then filling the gaps?

Any chance of buying just the front grill?

 

[Padawan311]

No! I can't believe I missed out on this! Will there be more runs?

 

[Edraven99]

Long shot I know... but what are the odds that you'll ever do a steel kit run again.... ever?

There will be another run around March or so

I didn't make the TFA kit in steel yet, maybe in the future,

I'd love to to be in on the March run as well! How did I miss this! Guess I was too busy on the ESB Blaster

Anyone have a good way of attaching the lenses and lens rings? I've been using JB Weld for everything else. Might first instinct was super glue.

Interested in fitting a real C96 Mauser

If you use super glue make certain you clean all finger oils off the lenses before you glue them.
The Superglue will "haze" or cloud the lenses because the vapor interacts with oils from your skin.

Figured this out the hard way on another project.

Vigor "Jeweler's Epoxy" is the bomb. Sets in five minutes solid and won't cloud anything. That's what I used.

Perfect, thanks!

I think I've got my blaster to a point where i'm going to stop fiddling with it. Really enjoyed the build. I opted to blue the metal instead of paint. I know it's not 100% screen accurate to TFA, but it feels more like a real world object to me this way. What a satisfying prop to hold in the hand. I think this might have inspired me to do a Han Solo costume this year.

 

[Troy3053]

Put me down for the March run.

 

[Bbabylonia20]

Could I ask what method you used to blue the aluminium parts? I've never had any success with it. Yours is looking great!
