Some more stuff translated. Not the most interesting though...

4) As i wanted to be able to disassemble and assemble most of the blaster once finished, i didn't choose to glue the handle grip.
1. Instead i added epoxy on the grip inner face to give some more material to the central screw that will secure it.
2. The epoxy add once sanded to the right height.
3. On the handle i noticed a small dimple and a matching channel on the D-bracket so i assumed there must be some kind of a pin here that helps to align the two parts together.
4. So i drilled the dimple all the way through...

1. ... Then i fitted the handle grip with tape.
2. With my Dremel i reported the hole location drilled on the previous step on the inner face of the grip.
3. Same thing with the central screw. However, here i used the head of the screw to mark the grip instead of my Dremel.
4. The two holes reported on the grip.

1. After that i cut a pin designed to align the grip on one side and the D-bracket on the other.
2a. 2b. The pin glued.
3. The alignment between the channel and the pin when you slide the two parts together.
4. Slided together.

1. I added a second pin at the bottom of the grip to secure it more sefely and to avoid it to pivot on itself while i tighten the central screw.
2. The two pins maintaining the grip.
3. 4. The grip pinned. The central screw goes all the way through the D-bracket, the handle, and up to the grip, preventing it to fall.

After a quick mock-up of the D-bracket with the handle/barrel and the stock, i discovered that the whole was too heavy and was often disconnecting the D-bracket from the handle despite the central screw and the locking channel at the bottom.
1. To solve this i added two screws going from the inside of the handle to the D-bracket. They aren't going all the way through so once the blaster is fully assembled they aren't visible.
2. Here again to give more material to the screws i added epoxy reinforcements inside the handle.
3. 4. The screws tightened and keeping the two parts together safely.

Hopefully I should have another update by the evening!
