Keep checking Plamoya.com, they tend to pop up there for about $28 before shipping.

Thanks a ton man for the tip! Just scored two black/amber and a clear/blue PKD for $110 shipped. Not bad....Not great, but I'll take what I can get compared to the alternative prices!!!

I think they do the opposite and actually list LESS stock than they have to prevent that. I, too, thought I bought the last one, then they had more the next day.

Decided to check the site just as you said that and voila... they have the silver back in stock. :p

EDIT: Black is now back in stock as well.

Just finished my water pistol. You'll be getting sick of seeing them! :)

A big call-out to a couple of people - CandyKiller for his advice via PM, Lerch for his very descriptive build log...and last, but not least...829japan for helping me get my hands on one (make that two!) :)

Really happy with how it turned out - got the weight up to about 650 grams, which feels nice in the hand. Apologies for the photos - taken with my iPad in low light.

That looks stunning mate, really nice job on the paintwork. How do you get the receiver so shiny?

Cheers guys. :)

RLD9K - receiver was primed with Tamiya Fine Grey (rattle-can), then base-coated with Tamiya Gloss Aluminium (also rattle-can), then weathered with graphite powder (as per Lerch's build log). Amazin' stuff that graphite powder. :)
 
Been working on my repaint for about a week now. The grips seemed pretty snugged down, and I didn't want to chance cracking them getting them off there, so I just left them as is. At the moment the paint job is pretty much as issued, but I might give it a pass or two of weathering in a couple days. A big thanks to everyone on this thread for their build/paint tips.

Started my build here's what I have done so far:

-Taken the grips off (they came off super easy)
-Hollowed out the tank
-Hollowed out the front of the receiver
-Taken the water pistol components out
-Swapped out the barrel for the orange cap
-Started filing the seams and prepping the whole thing with some 000 for primer

I did plan on splitting it but it just wasn't coming off, no matter how careful I was it started to crack and break parts off , luckily they were easily fixed but I didn't want to risk it.
This means my plans for having the magazine come off and having it light up have gone down the drain but i'm fine with that.
 
Looks good, man :thumbsup

can i ask how sturdy the blaster is once the grips plastic is removed?

Also the seam where the barrel meets the orange tip looks very sharp. Was that done with just a dremel and files?

thanks! yeah the blaster isn't very sturdy without the grips and the tank removed and actually for the barrel I wanted precision and a slow working time so I marked the cutoff line with some tamiya tape and used some really small model hand saws and was just really careful, I then just lightly used some needle files to get rid of the seam and then used 000 steel wool to buff out the files scratch marks and it looks nice and clean
 
Okay cool. I was curious if I'd need to make a frame to slide into the grip section for stability

and I'll have to go hit the model/hobby shop for some new tools. I also needed some of that Tamiya tape, so 2 birds.

thanks for the help and tips, mate. Much appreciate matherton
