Appreciate the compliment...but you might want to wait till you see the overall costs at the end Lol

It's actually been pretty cheap so far. In time I'll look at casting the metal pieces for kits.

That is looking incredible just hope my tie can do such an awesome blaster justice

Now working on the scope and side mounted bracket. Started looking at scope brackets that look identical to the original...

But they all look to chunky and big.

So I've gone with the smaller .22 scope as it looks better and will hurry along this build (cheap as chips too)...

I've modified the brackets so they can be JB welded to the aluminium bracket I'll make.

But before any of this can be attached, I've attached bolts to take the "knurled nuts" for the mounting bracket bar.

The bar is made out of left over acrylic. Not much point in spending too much time trying to make a bar for it. You won't know the difference once its painted.

Next I'll be fashioning the bracket...to be continued...

Sweet!!! I got the scope mounting bracket just how I wanted it. I'd like to thank my new friends Kneadit and JB Weld. Without their help this wouldn't be possible...well for me and my limited workshop anyway Hehehe

I cut the original scope brackets and mounted them between two pieces of aluminium sheeting using JB Weld and then cut and filed into shape flling some gaps with Kneadit...

From there I mounted it to the blaster with the scope to see how it looks. I also cut the scope to the correct length...

It's feeling nice and heavy...just like a real blaster...cause you know, they do exsist right?

And I just thought I'd throw in a comparison shot along the way...
