Productions Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Here are my progress pictures of my T-21. The plasma disk idea was copied from "xaviar's" build, but I’m pulling the disc apart so that I can switch it on and off with the illuminated trigger (maplin switch). The kit is a C.C.C, complete T-21 parts. What does everyone think? Luke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordvader74 Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I think that's badass! I'd like to do something like that to mine later on I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyranneix Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Looks top notch. The Disc gives it a very nice feel and look. I'm picking up a couple of these next week for my T-21 and pack. should be good stuff. Nice to see others doing Xaviers mod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Productions Posted August 4, 2009 Author Share Posted August 4, 2009 Here is the latest picture of my "big baby", yep I have now named it.....I'm so sad. It is all stuck together now, and has the electronics finished. I have decided, to have the plasma disc on all the time, and the trigger illuminates by itself.

hosaka Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Definitely post a finished pic - those of us still craving a T-21 need all the inspiration we can get! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Productions Posted August 7, 2009 Author Share Posted August 7, 2009 I will Remember if a 15 year old kid can make one of these (me), you can. Just done some filling, sadly I don't have time today to do any sanding. Because I have to prepare my Davros for the event (Dalek Invasion, up in Yovilton) Untill next time Luke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tk2230 Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Awesome job Luke! I just finished my T-21 (same maker) as well. At the end I had used 3/4 of a can of bondo...lol! I love the idea with your trigger; I used a Xavier plasma disc as well but mine is orange. I wanted a red one but I guess they don't come in that color?

Productions Posted September 12, 2009 Author Share Posted September 12, 2009 I have done lots of sanding now. And sprayed it black to see where I need to improve. Sorry about the wait... I have had many projects on the go recently.... Luke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Productions Posted October 4, 2009 Author Share Posted October 4, 2009 TA DA!!! I sprayed it in black today, and I love how it looks . I’m not sure whether I should weather and lacquer it, as it looks so cool in matte black. What does everyone think? Thank you for all the help people have given me!

Luke P.S Here is a little video to show the trigger and plasma disc: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGrpn5E6hD8 Looks good man, personally I think it needs some weathering. You don't want to be that trooper with the nice and new gun, fresh from the assembly line do ya lol??? I would also paint up the stock to look like woodgrain but that is just my opinion.

Productions Posted October 5, 2009 Author Share Posted October 5, 2009 Looks good! The trigger is really cool. Are you adding a sling?I shall be making a sling soon, from scratch. So I will keep the thread updated when I start. Looks good man, personally I think it needs some weathering. You don't want to be that trooper with the nice and new gun, fresh from the assembly line do ya lol??? I would also paint up the stock to look like woodgrain but that is just my opinion.Very true, weathered it shall be! I don't want to paint it in wood grain however. As in the movie they seem to have sprayed the stock black, along with the gun. Thanks again Luke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plastic Fury Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Why make the sling from scratch?? They used two enfield slings in the movies and they are relatively cheap and fit the look perfectly. I just ordered up a pair from a guy on Ebay and they look great!! It really helps complete the look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Productions Posted October 6, 2009 Author Share Posted October 6, 2009 A friend of mine has built a few replica slings before. He made a perfect match for his Lewis gun, a few years ago. And said he would lend a hand with mine. Other reasons for building one from scratch is weight & durability. The material used on the original slings were heavyweight WWII webbing, this frays and falls apart over time. The one I shall be making will be Polypropylene webbing, very light weight and heavy duty material. PLUS, if any frays occur on this webbing, you can simply get a lighter and met the fraying edge together (I have done that a few times on my armours webbing system, and no problems have occurred.)

Pappy Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Thats reasonable,especially if you want to carry your T-21 with it(sling) Post some pics if you're done,im curious how you tackle it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Productions Posted October 15, 2009 Author Share Posted October 15, 2009 "Here's me beauty", lol. I made the sling loop by hammering some steel rod into a loop; I then attached it with some thick plastic and rivets. For the adjuster I used a "ladder fastener", that I weathered with my gun. I then wrapped the webbing round the other end (very tightly), and attached pop rivets. The weathering was dry brushed on, and then I lacquerd it so it’s nice and shiny. What does everyone think??
