Terror's DH-17 Hasbro Blaster
#1
As I wanted a different blaster for my Imperial Gunner to that of the E-11 for my TK I decided to get the DH-17 hasbro nerf one. Main mods that I have done to it are;

1. Cutting off the pull back mechanisim and scratch building a clip retainer and clip to cover the hole.
2. Sanding off all of the raised lettering and using modelers putty to fill in all the screw holes and some of the seams.
3. Coat of paint. Etch primer then silver then satin black and then silver again on the barrel. Gun metal used on the ejection ports.

Did not want to go the full mod of moving the single point back into the right position etc so they were just the basic ones.

Now needs a bit more weathering and the clear coat.

Looks great. I purchased one of these last time they came through BigW, I hop mine comes up as good as yours did.

Started another one over the weekend and used the same process as before but this time used a matt black instead of a satin. Still making the rear clip and retainer. this one will be for public use as needed in the booths just like Stormraven's ideaSmile
