Happy you found the Grill it really looks GREAT!! I'm still working (life got in the way again) on the one I got from them. By the way what did you use to attach the grill to the blaster???

I haven't attached it permanently. I had to Dremel it out some. I used super glue to start, but I might use some epoxy clay. It also has some flaws I need to address, excess flash and a few bubble holes.

It's been a while, and there's still a-ways to go. I finally decided to replace my the flash hider on my "Greedo Killer" with the one that came with my resin kit. I removed it with a small saw and dremeled the inside enough to fit over the existing barrel. I found a seller on Etsy who makes recasts of the M3/M9 wingnut. So, I'm waiting for that to arrive. In the meantime here is my "Greedo Killer" as it sits. When the new wingnut is attached I plan on completely repainting the flash hider

I'm going to call this done for now. I'm pretty pleased with it.

It's been a while since I've posted in this thread. I've done a lot of reworking on all my blasters.

"Greedo Killer" updates:
- metal scope from War Machine
- 3D printed scope mount from Shapeways (designed by chubsANDdoggers) painted by me
- vintage Weaver rings
- metal flash hider from War Machine

"The Force Awakens" updates:
- 3D printed magazine
- 3D printed grill
- repaint
... that's it

"Empire Strikes Back" (Bespin) updates:
- 3D printed scope from Shapeways (chubsANDdoggers) painted by me
- 3D printed scope mount and knurled knob (inaccurate hex screw though) painted by me
- repainted flash hider
- sanded down trigger and hammer

A few months ago, I repainted my TFA Solo blaster. I also removed the "screw" on the underside of the flash hider and drilled a hole into the plastic. I made a few touch ups to all three: painting the bolts and triggers silver, mostly.

Lastly I have included a non-Solo blaster: my reworked, repainted NERF Poe Dameron blaster pistol. It still has room for improvement, but for now I'm happy with it [insert smiley face emoticon].
