Wal Mart Blaster Pistol Conversion WIP
« on: Aug 25, 2016, 03:09 PM »
Hey guys, I scooped up on this toy blaster at Wal Mart a few weeks ago for I think $3.50 and messed with it a little last night.

I took all the screws out:


And opened it up:

And found out I can make my modifications without effecting the electronics.

Here's the before and after:
BeforeAfter

I basically just cut off the hand guard, the sights, and the "barrels". I cut them with my bandsaw and it worked like a charm;D I still have a lot to do, but I think its a pretty good start. I'll try and post a sketch of what modifications I want to do. So far I want to flush out the grip, maybe add some heat sinks and other greebs, possibly a scope and add a barrel. Let me know what you think;)

This surprisingly turned out AWESOME!  Looks good vod, fill in those screw holes, prime, paint, weather, and you should be good.  Can't wait to see the finished product.

I did the same thing to one of those :P

My roommate carries 2 of those as his weapons. They are so cheap and easy to work with.

Nice! I was thinking about scooping up a few more depending on how this one went. Any pics?

Thanks!

This is what i'd like to do to it:


Basically just add a scope and a barrel and flush out the grip.

lol I'll try not to let you down;) Here's a little bit of an update:



A dowel rod and a brass hose fitting of some sort I had laying around glued to the end of it for a barrel and a Dollar Tree flashlight underneath it.And  a few greeblies for the beginnings of a scope (both Dollar Tree flashlights).

Looking like your on your Way ... A Good little tip before you get Too Far attaching Greeblies is To give it a Good
 Coat of Gray primer .. This way you'll see it other than a colored Toy and more of a Weapon ... There will also be less
chance of Runs when trying to paint all of the pieces while they are attached ..   ;D

You can get ahead of the process and primer new pieces as you add them.
You may also find that not Everything you start out with will go on the finished product.
  Too many Greeblies can make for Tough Holstering ....  ;)


Good luck with your Build , I shall be Watching ... 8)
