Hello again All.
I thought I would share this small project with you as this is a starting point for two Blaster Projects I have in mind for the future. They are a DL44 and a E11 for my 'Tie Fighter Costume' I'm putting together. So I thought 'here' would be a good place to put the thread. I hope I'm right. Anyway onto the build. I decided this would be better detailed than the one I did in this thread : http://www.therpf.com/f79/another-dl44-blaster-cheap-bb-gun-201930/
I was loaned an actual M36 scope from Indy Magnoli and this was a good starting point. Next I went to Blaxmyth and he said I could use his wood turning lathe to turn up the main pieces. Using the original, I drew up the dimensions on card and the turned up all bits together as I would be cutting them off and gluing in the correct positions later. The first thing I did was seal the cut ends with Superglue. When this was dry, I glued the two main pieces together and then primed them to see where the imperfections would be. And there were plenty of them, so it was on with the filler. While this was drying, I cut out the eyepiece plate with all the holes drilled in afterwards.
