Here is how I go about my mag plate details. If interested let me know and I can put it up on my shapeways Page. Comes out looking really good imho that is..
EDIT: I realized I didn’t show how I go about adding the mag release button. So this is a breakdown of it until I can update this more specifically..
... how are you getting the look of the “press button” mag release? ... Can you share how you do it, as I don't see any reference to it other than using the modified Allen key to mark the center position? Thanks.
Ya of course! Sorry I guess I didn’t go over that part. It’s a pretty easy solution and it works out really well. I’m constantly trying to improve my builds so when I started modifying this part on the denix..
I realized I had to shorten the bolt that is used to hold the sight down. Otherwise it would be to long and stick out..
So after I did this I realized I had a little bit left over which would work great as the “press button” on the mag. Using that exact template you got off my shapeways page I found the center and then mark it by using a center punch.
Next I drilled into it using a drill roughly the same size as the bolt. To make the hole bigger around it I used a drill bit like this one..
Here u can see the uncut bolt sitting in the drilled out hole..
Once I know how much to cut off I just make that cut. Make sure to use tape on the small end when cutting or there is a good chance you’ll lose it. Then just use a dab (to much and it will get messy) of epoxy to hold it in place..
Once finished the bottom of the blaster should looks like this [emoji106]
While the top sight on the denix can also be modified to look like this..
Hope this helps [emoji482]
