I got myself an AR-7 casting from OdiWan and a stormtrooper sterling grip lying around. Oops, guess that means I'm making a new blaster!
I started buying any metal parts I could legally own that were out there..the side plate, trigger (and other internal pieces) and the magazine. With a little sanding they fit into the resin parts seamlessly!
i played with the idea of screwing the sterling grip on from the butt but the angle was weird. I heaped a ton of qwiksteel putty on there, shaped a "handle" tang and jammed it in place. It's stuck. For good measure I even jammed the l2a3 bolt I got with it in the bottom along with more putty. That also got stuck :lol cool thing is everything's in place, the side plate is screwed and tapped in and this is a good solid piece.
I had to repair the barrel but threads, I dropped the thing and it broke off!
I also stuck a wood screw with a bulbous countersunk head in the grip to screw it into the putty, for good measure :cool
