How to: T-21 Blaster scratch build


Recommended Posts

Filled the inside to make it more solid

Dry fit of rear sight cover

Front sight detail. I just drew this by eyeballing reference images.

Cut it out

Screwed and glued into place. I added a "bolt" detail using a rivet, I slotted it with a Dremel. Didn't want to use a real screw in case I split the wood

Lining things up. Who likes Spam? :)

Back to that round detail, added the knob using a strip of wood and a screw

I'll fill the hole with Bondo later

Opposite side is a screw, also bondoed later

Templates peepholes?

Thanks

Why isn't this thread stickied? It's a very good resource for building a T-21 :)

Quoted for truth!

I know I'm late to this party, but I've got to say that this build is dead sexy, and has convinced me that I need to make one of these as well.

Thanks for posting this! It convinced me that I could build a T-21 and has been a fantastic resource.

One question that I'm still struggling with: what size PVC should be used on the receiver/body? The tutorial mentions 2", although standard 2" schedule 40 PVC seems too big. The two options I've found are 1.5" PVC (just under 2" OD) and 2" tubing for a central vacuum system (exactly 2" OD, thinner walls). Anyone else run into this and have a better option?

It's been a while since anyone posted here, but I wanted to add a pic of the T-21 I made a few years ago with all the help coming from this thread.  It's the only thing I troop with when blasters are allowed.  Thanks again for making this tutorial!
