Working on the Blaster and Assembling some Armor - August 6th, 2008

We continued work on our armor and accessories. 9 days left till the Premiere.

Rick and Len worked on Len's armor all evening. Trimming, fitting, gluing, etc. They got quite a bit done.

(Note: look at the bright and cheerful expression on Len's face. Then look again when we get to the bottom of the page.)

I continued work on the blaster. Since I'm making two, it's taking a little longer than I expected.

I cut out styrene rails and glued them on.

After sanding and cleaning up the wood, I added triggers and various greeblies to the blaster. I also drilled holes and added pegs to the ammo boxes so I could remove them and attach them to the long barrel DC-15 when I make it.

And...the blaster poses. (Note: this was at about 10:30pm and Len had been at work all day)
