Respect for a 12 year old

and to nate himself i say the following:

well budd, i really dont mind. i mean it isnt that hard to do once you know how, and i can always send it modded and unpainted to ya. the paint job should be your honor to do atleast.

what i did for mine was lengthen the barrel, making sure to make fins longer too, put a metal tube between the housing of the light emitter, and the outside so that you dont get that red beam showing through the sides, and sanded off the disclaimers engraved in it as well as filled in all the screw holes, and sanded down any other odd bumps that didnt fit with the real deal.

keep in mind that the only few things right with it are the blaster handle, the diameter of the barrel is correct, and that the scope is the right-ish length. needless to say i replace the toy scope with a real 4 power scope u can buy at any walmart for a good 20 bux.

i can always leave it on for you though if u wish, plus then you dont have to be careful with the painting.

as for the grip, i had to replace it with a more realistically larger grip, and i replaced the guard rim attatching the stock to it with an all metal piece. the stock had to be dropped and replaced with good ol wood too. thank god for woods shop in high school, (something you can always benefit from alongside with metals and machine shop classes. they become very handy to know in cosplaying btw)

i intend on posting step by step pics soon if i make another. ill definately keep ya in the loop budd.

Awesome! Reminds me of my own kid. He did a grey Jedi for C5 with a thermal det and a clone rifle -- one of the "make your own" Hasbro modles he painted up. He got a LOT of comments on the gun

I tip my helmet in a respectful nod Mustangrevolver- well played
Nate- sounds like a familiar story?… this can be a great escape!
Vaderlives- thanks for the post.. I think I’ll be following Kakarrot's method and adding pieces on top of the existing face- looks like an easy add (although I’m not an orthopedic surgeon… I did stay at a Holiday inn last night) LOL!!

A'den on here just redid a HBF bucket and raffled it off for our charity on the Mercs. I was convinced it was unfixable, but he did a decent job. All said though, with the effort and cost, you're best severed buying a M-DSB bucket.

For the OP, you can go to a plastic store and buy a sheet of PVC in shiny white. That way you don't even have to paint it. It works just like sintra in that you cut it with a saw/dremel/whatever and heat form it. Lonestar makes a great white flightsuit on here. Ladysewforus does too, but her's (well Arkady) makers theirs screen accurate colors, but they might be able to make you a white one instead. If nothing else, buy the Butterfield coverall pattern (or likewise brand), download the soft pouch template by WOF on here (which is what the thigh pockets are also) and a couple of reference pictures of the shin pockets & double sleeves and get one made for you. You can buy a nice twill in white and make it yourself or commision a seamstress locally. It's just a simple coverall with a couple of modifications.
Bobobo Fett on here makes a white supercommando ammo belt and ManofWar's accurate Boba boots come white.

you should have thrown a Ghostbusters patch on the sleeve and built your self a GB costume to add to your collection.

*strikes a pose* and yush i nodd in return. XD

nate, obx is right. cosplay is something grand to do when u can, cuz it allows you to be creative, and let your imagination run wild. both are thins kids are rapidly neglecting to do anymore these days with video games and electronics becoming staple replacements of the old stuff. dont ever let anybody damper your love for the art of cosplay. it gets really fun. that and there are some kickass prizes at conventions to winning costumes.
