interest in an aluminum blaster

If one of the recipients of these absolutely incredible kits has an all resin blaster that they now longer require, could you please drop me a PM? ;)

I have a friend that's starting on a Zam, and as much as these blasters are the kats meow, a solid resin one would suffice.
 
Thanks everyone for the compliments. I really do appreciate it because this project has turned into a huge thorn in my side and I'm anxious for it to be over.

I may have rushed the first batch a little bit so if the clear coat was a little tacky it should be fine as long as you don't hold it firmly in one position for too long and grind your finger prints into it :) Give it some time, prop it up on display in a nice place where it will get some air and it should finish curing and be good to go!


Here is the next batch

These are for the following:
* Jo Lynne Navarre / zamovar
* Mike Goobic / mgoob
* Kathleen Skirmont / kay_dee
* Brooke Merva / thumper

I sent you all pm's to confirm shipping so as soon as I hear back from you I will get them in the mail. Brooke, I did get your message with your address change. thanks!



I don't know if I can build any more of these blasters although I have committed to build two more.

*Benkenove = I've committed to building with electronics and am awaiting payment

* JDfett = I believe you were going to mail the barrel back to me?. John if you want I can just mail your electronics and a disc of pictures for the assembly if you like.

* Sandman = I'm planning to mail you the raw kit with a hollow handle. I took pictures of the assembly of this last batch so there should be enough info just in those pictures to show you how to do it.



----------------------------------------------------------------------
The last 4 blasters on the list:
I'm still waiting to hear from the following:

* Jennifer Natschow / TK2542
* Angie Jeanfreau / SL1190
* Tim Rudolph / rudolpht
* Tony Machalski / ItsThatGuy

When I originally figured the price for the electronics and assembly I only charged $30 to build each blaster. After paypal it comes to about $25 for what amounts to about 5 hours of labor. I am actually losing money to build them and it's really difficult with how busy and behind we are, struggling to pay the bills etc.

I hate to say it but I don't think I can assemble these kits for you guys. I certainly would have if I would have heard back and if we would have arranged it earlier while I was planning it with the first two groups who paid for electronics but I didn't really know what I was getting into.

If you want me to build the blasters for you I may need to ask for more money. You are still getting a really good deal because I priced the aluminum barrels right at my cost as well as the electronics. If it were made professionally by a large company such as MR, the blaster would be much more than this and they would have been mass produced. The major downside is the serious delays in the project but unfortunately that comes with the territory. These are hand made and there were a lot of factors involved with the process and unforeseen delays that will probably steer me away from doing another project like this.

If you want to assemble the blaster yourself, you can still get the electronics. You can either get them from me or directly from hyperdyne. The price is $110 for the electronics kit. If you order them before I ship your blaster kit then the shipping is included with what you already paid. If you order it later or from hyperdyne you will need to pay for the 4% paypal fee and shipping.

While assembling this last batch of blasters I took many photos of the process and I will include a disc with all the photos so you can figure out how to assemble the blaster yourself.

* Jennifer Natschow / TK2542
* Angie Jeanfreau / SL1190
* Tim Rudolph / rudolpht
* Tony Machalski / ItsThatGuy

Please let me know what you want to do and also verify your current shipping address.

Thanks again everyone for the patience throughout this project. I can't thank you enough for not pestering me and attacking me like a lot of people would and ... even if you had I wouldn't blame you. This has taken way too long!!

Hey Everybody,:)

I'm sure nobody wants to sell their blaster to me, but I am still in the market of buying one. I hope there is somebody in the Zammer world who will not need theirs. If there is, let me know.

Thanks,
Jescica:zam
 
I've updated the list.

If you are still in Limbo for one reason or another, please let me know what you would like me to do :)
thanks

I got mine today, too! And it is MARVELOUS!!!!!! (y)

Thanks for everything, Cal, this blaster is well worth the wait!

Now I really need to get started putting my Zam together...:eek:

Jo Lynne :zam
 
Is there a metal "found part" for the two rear pointy pieces? I'm going with all metal parts to compliment the barrel. I made my own metal trigger and the knurled piece on the front, I just need to find the two pieces for the back.
 
Hey there MonCal,

You do such awesome work. I would love the electronics kit or if someone doesn't want their blaster (hard to imagine) or is bailing on Zam, let me know. My Zam is on track to be ready to wear by April 09.

Currently I have the silent resin kit version, but I'd be delighted to add sound. :)

Thanks everyone for the thanks and I'm very glad you are happy with them. Remember they are hand made and probably won't take the beating a fully machined MR blaster or Wal-mart toy would take. Treat them with care ;)

I'm not sure how tough it would be to add the electronics to a resin kit. If you were wanting the electronics kit I can certainly get one for you or you could probably order it directly from Hyperdyne but it wouldn't be easy putting it in a resin kit.

I've updated the first post again. I still need to assemble a couple blasters. I should be receiving the electronics kit any day now. I just don't know if I have time to build them at the moment and I apologize! We may have to move again and I have a huge deadline on a job that I'm overdue on but I will do my best to get these finished.

I also haven't heard a decision from Jennifer Natschow or Tony Machalski on what you guys want to do with your blasters??? You've paid for them. Do you want them as is or do you want the electronics kits?? Please let me know.

Here is the updated list::
