Sculpting the taper

I wasn't able to find anything with the correct taper, so I ended up with a section from a plastic cup that left a gap of about 5mm. So basically the whole taper is a 5mm thick layer of bondo sanded to the correct shape - I might get a job at Coddington hot rods!! Hahaha :D

Blaster progress

So far so good! Pandatroopers build is very easy to follow - you need some tools though... like a band saw, hehe. The only wood I found thin enough for the stock and the magasine tray was oak - yikes. I'm in for some heavy sanding. Styrene prices are rediculous here in No(r)way (10 usd/sheet) so I have ordered it online (evilbay). Hopefully it will get here soon! And yes - I need to sand those tray details waay down. Combined they are about 10mm too thick atm.

Another Lewis / T-21 template

Here's another drawing I found

Blaster build!

While waiting for armour etc I'll tinker on with an attempt at the awesome T-21 BFG using Pandatrooper's build as a guide. Here's his template

New build blog!

I'll publish my Sandtrooper build progress here - now testing publishing from the phone ;)
