Nerf Scout Trooper Blaster Repaint

[The Goon]

Either this thing is even more oversized than I was expecting, or I have really small hands.

Well, you aren't wearing Scout Trooper gloves. Put a pair of those on and you probably wouldn't be able to fit four fingers in the trigger guard comfortably.

I just got mine today. One of the first things I did was to put my fingers around the handle to see how they might fit, and the result was pretty much the same as yours--pressed together, yet with a bit of a gap above my index finger. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

For sure. But it means the part swaps I was planning to do won't work. Ah well. Will still be fun to repaint.

If you are looking to swap scopes, it should still work. I'd like to know if the transistors match up.

I've got a couple transistors coming from China; I'll let you know how they compare.

I just ordered one of the transistors off eBay as well. Hoping size wise its a close enough match. I've never done a Nerf repaint before, so I'm just happy the thing disassembled super easy. My plan is to sand all the logos and what not down, fill the holes, replace the transistor, and the blaster tip. Hoping I can find a suitable replacement. Maybe even add some weight to it also.

I need me to get some transistors..

Here's mine. I modified the crap out of it including filling screw holes/seams, adding missing details, new emitter, aluminum hand-guard, scope lense etc... I sort of picked and chose which details from the original props to replicate. I wanted to try and do this without spending any money, so I was limited to only the parts/supplies I had on hand. I didn't agonize over the putty work as the originals are pretty rough anyway. Fun project!

Solid work! What was your solution to replacing/rebuilding the muzzle?

 

[Reel Fakes]

I used part of a pen with an aluminum spacer inside. The "steps" are disks that I cut out of a thick piece of styrene.

That's gorgeous! I'm going to use this as inspiration on mine.

BTW, the Ebay listing for this has a reduced price to $7.99. I bought three (one for me, and one for each of my two small kids), so free shipping on orders over $14.99 made the total for all three $26.03.

Just ordered two off the bay.

What did you use for the glass lens?

 

[Reel Fakes]

I had some safety goggles left over from my Mynock cave breather project. I just cut a disk out and painted the back side black. Easy peasy.

And great results! If mine turns out half as good as yours, I'll be pleased.

That turned out great, I was going to scratch build one, now I’ve seen the results you achieved I’m not so sure. Shame we can’t get them as cheap here but I found one for £26 shipped it’s looking more appealing, and I can still add the greebles I was planing for the scratch build anyway.

What did you use for the turret cap?

 

[Reel Fakes]

Something from my parts bin. I'm not sure where it came from... Sorry!
