Nice choice! Looking forward to seeing your progress. Give a shout if you need anything. I'm going to call an armor party when my TB kit comes in soon.

I gotta ask, what's the best way to start the blaster? I thought to so a dc15L a mix of wood and plastic part the best way to make by hand? Anyone know any good makers?

Anyone know to do pepakura well

Pep is decent, if you take the time. I suggest using a hot glue gun, since you can reposition pieces. It's also a good idea to build a few simple models before you try the one that counts, just to get a feel for how the paper works. Slush the inside with a 50/50 mix of bondo and the short-fiber stuff. I found the nastiest bit was grinding the outside once you had the fiberglass in place; it takes bloody forever, unless you have some seriously tough sanders available.

It'll take a lot of time, but the finished product can be really nice and will be 100% yours.

this is the file I'm working on

I've done a lot of pep. It works well and is cheap but it's very time consuming. If you're going to make the blaster yourself I would suggest a wood and plastic build sense you're constantly handling it. Will hold up way better in the long run.

Do you happen to have a tutorial for the wood and plastic method? I wanna build and be able to be apart of the build.
