Hello there,
I was going to post last night that I would release the second batch of kits tonight, but I made a little unplanned trip to the ER last night after cutting grass like a stupid brute and receiving a silly tiny bit of grass in the eye that turned into an immediate and pretty bad eye infection! (I was wearing glasses, as always, it just wasn't enough this time.)
So... The kits are really close, but I'm having a really hard time focusing on anything right now as my sight is pretty blured and it really stings, so I'm not going to be able to get on the lathe for sure. I really hope this gets better soon and I can finish those, it's just a final day of work before they are ready.
sorry guys! I'm never sick and it's the first time in 16 years together that my wife has to drive me to the ER as well, I would have loved to keep that something we never did !
cheers all

Hello there,
My eye is slightly better and I have managed to finish the side plates today and put the second batch of kits online on the website! The individual main parts are now available as well for people that wanted to pick their own parts. They are limited for now, I will try to prepare a few more scopes tomorrow to increase the batch size a bit as it's a small batch for now.
The full kits now include by default the cast from original front sight greebly/vacuum cleaner part. 100% of people from the first batch chose this one and it was confusing that the kit was called "full kit" and it didn't include one part. I always do too many options!
I'm going to tag people from the interest list that I think haven't bought their kit yet. A couple might have already bought as I'm not sure of all the real names. Just want to make sure everybody sees the release and don't miss out. And also hoping that everybody on the list buys their kit as I would have a lot of kits left on my hands if not. If you were on list, please respect your commitment or at least reach out to let me know you can't anymore or need a bit more time, thank you, much appreciated

If you already bought, feel free to reach out, so I can link your RPF account to your real name
If you miss out, don't worry, I'm going to try to release more tomorrow, and there is still the third batch of 12 kits coming in 2 or 3 weeks.
for people in Europe, I still have one fully finished blaster available to reserve (one already reserved) for when I have time to get to it. Price to be determined around 500€.
thank you all

I hope your vision returns to 100% as that must have been really frightening.
Full kit ordered.

Bumping this,
I finished a few additional scopes so now the second batch is complete on the website.
There are still 8 people from the interest list that haven't ordered or messaged me, please message me if you can't order now, I would appreciate it. Both Wonderknight and I worked hard on this, delaying other urgent things, would really appreciate it if everyone from the interest list would buy what they signed up for, or at least message me
thank you very much

They are available to purchase on the website right now
thank you for your interest.
I hope some people that finished one will chime in on how they attached those as I haven't experienced it myself.
I would say the thick plates are just glued to the surface. And I think the thin plates have a spacer under them, when you see that photo for instance, you can see the plate is lifted because of the shadow:
Hi there,
I did a combination. I screwed the plates to the gun shell and glued the top ends to the shell and each other. The screws are hidden underneath the greeblies after that. The upper side plate needs a spacer to fill the gap between the shell and the lower plate. For me it worked perfectly.

ah that's awesome, you did great and thank you so much for your help sharing this, much appreciated
I think they did exactly that on the original, you can see that two blasters have the thin plate in different position and it looks like it possibly rotated around that screw hidden under the motor coil plate:

You mentioned kits could be bought on your website but forgive me. I don’t understand how to get there. also what ended up happening with your eye? Did your vision 100% return?
Hi,
thank you, yes, my vision returned 100% in a few days, it was just very annoying and painful for a week but that is 100% behind me now
you can find the kits here:
