The add-ons from the previous run, in case anybody is wanting to make one. Includes black sight rod leds, black buttplate, plastic steyr mag, and black grips. Won't fit the new kits, but if you're g ... |

Outside my skills. When I say multiple coats, it's only to even it out and make it a little more resilient. A clean part gets jet black almost immediately. |

It's possible, but not something I've ever tried on a tomenosuke blaster. For my attempts at a lighter shade I've always used perma blue. |

The only plastic parts are the bulldog frame/barrel, the amber grips, and the steyr magazine / housing that are plastic on the original. Color issues aside (and my grips aren't quite as light as DaveG ... |

Yep. I don't know - they handled the original, and maybe that's the color they look in person? But they definitely need to be darkened. Haven't had a chance to go back with mine and try the ink on th ... |

Also, the original kit version back in the day was a plastic frame and a steel barrel and was just fine. |

Same fit as always. They may be an accurate color, but I'd prefer mine to be a little darker, more of a whiskey color. I'm going to try Proper's method used on his frankenblaster grips next time I ge ... |

I have - of you're talking about the Steyr receiver, I had to file a little bit of burring off the elbow part of the slot to get it to work. It wouldn't budge past, but it only took a very little bit ... |

Putting mine together, and I noticed I got two slotted screws instead of a slotted screw + weaver knob. So if anybody gets two weaver knobs, let me know! |

What ate the dummy rounds like? Real or plastic?
They're metal reproductions. |

I finally got a chance to start working on mine. Definitely cold cast, and it works a lot like a pencil lead - the black isn't a coating, it's the mix. There's enough "stuff" in the plastic ... |

They do, which is part of what tipped me off. I just don't like to make proclamations without evidence. Mine came pre weathered due to the parts getting loose in the box, and the scuff marks on the f ... |

I don't know if anyone noticed, but the bulldog frame + barrel is either cold cast resin or white metal. The black is just a flat finish. |
