Anyone know if they did anything particular on the grips? I know there's a grip material in the kit, but would plasti-cote ore whatever it's called work just as well?

Any textured black paint will work just as good. It doesn't necessarily have to have a rubber.

It depends on if you want to copy the screen used prop.

They used a diamond/pyramid textured rubber material on the props. So if you plasticoat it, it will work but won't be accurate.

Is that the same material that came with it? If not, do you know where to get it?
 
wow this is incredible. fantastic work. I would be extremely happy if my name was put on the list for any future runs.

I actually meant to go into detail for both of those, but forgot to.

For the end cap, this is how the parts go together. This holds it in place, but allows it to still swivel.

This is what the LED kit looks like. There are two circuits like this. One to illuminate the magazine, and one to illuminate the Hengstler.

The LED circuits pretty much get crammed into the hollow sections, and the LED is positioned to shine through the holes.

I drill a slot in the bottom of the magazine (same for the Hengstler) and the switch sticks out slightly.

Hopefully that helps.

I drilled a two holes in the barrel for both lights and wired it to the end cap with the switches so I can turn it on in one place... I made the end cap removable with a screw on the bottom. My first build, definitely learned a lot (lots of trial and error in the painting)
 
Are these files available for printing our own (I have a 3D printer)? None of the other ones I've found online have the folding front stock or accommodations for real screws, etc.
