Altair's Resin PA DC-17 Build - Altair - Sunday 12-Jul-2015
Blaster building.. gotta luv it! This time its a clone commandos DC-17. For this build I'm using a kit from Polymer Armory.
Here is what is included in a resin DC-17 kit from PA

Initial impression... these kits look good! They are very complete, the detail is sharp and there is next to no air bubbles in the resin

Watch this space
Oh and there maybe more than one...... Cyclops and Altair will have some nice new blasters soon

Back on track with my RC build, so back on track with this blaster
The PA kit is marked where you have to make your cuts which is handy

The inserts only required minimal sanding to fit nicely in place

Plenty of room inside for some electronics perhaps?

The pieces are only screwed in here, no magnets yet

One thing I did notice is not everything lined up, it was a little out for my liking
![[Image: N1pnHhn.jpg]](http://i.imgur.com/N1pnHhn.jpg)
So I started sanding the back of it... I had to take quite a bit off and there was a thin spot which I had to bog with putty

I also noticed when holding up this piece to the light that the walls at the front of the barrel cap were also thin...
![[Image: zBVcEEA.jpg]](http://i.imgur.com/zBVcEEA.jpg)
Not perfect but sitting much better now
![[Image: r7RSMm6.jpg]](http://i.imgur.com/r7RSMm6.jpg)
Only issue with moving this piece back was the top sight piece does not clip in
![[Image: 5SNkTIV.jpg]](http://i.imgur.com/5SNkTIV.jpg)
So I've filled this with putty and will have to redrill a new hole for the magnet and cut out a section for the clip to sit in

Look8ng good mate.
RE: Altair's Resin PA DC-17 Build - Altair - Thursday 22-Oct-2015
Cut out my new hole for the magnet and section for the clip
![[Image: AWM6eMo.jpg]](http://i.imgur.com/AWM6eMo.jpg)
Now the clip aligns good and it will keep the top in place

The handle that comes with the PA kit is really nice, it has a separate trigger and is hollowed out in sections with tracks to easily install a micro switch and wiring. I plan to add some electronics later on, so I cut out the section covered by the handle
![[Image: S4ChOXN.jpg]](http://i.imgur.com/S4ChOXN.jpg)
Here is the handle screwed together.. I filed and sanded the edges of the grip so it is nicer to hold in the hand

Side cutout, again plenty of room to install electronics

Little bit of tidy up before any paint touches this pew pew.. mainly the seam

After some sanding.. may need some more... will wait until I have a coat of primer on it

Glued the magnets in with some Araldite.. made sure they are all the right way so no opposing forces

It's a beautiful kit for sure! It'll look amazing once you're finished with it!!

I'd love to know as well, it's looking awesome so far!
All I know is one day I want to someday build DC-17 since I just love the Blaster and what you've done here has just convinced me even more!
