I will post more pictures and info when I get back from dinner I think this gif file does my T-21 pilot light more justice

Hello, After meeting a few of the 501st here in San Diego I decided that I wanted to join. I am about 75% done with my T-21 and 75% done with my Field Pack. And building my armor as well. You will be hearing more from me soon :o) After getting my Cushman T-21 kit in the middle of my pack build I decided to give it a go. Now keep in mind I am not done with this by any means BUT after wondering why the Jedi get all the cool special effects toys I decided to look into adding a little spice to my new toy. I have always been a big fan of Ripley's huge gun at the end of Aliens more so I love how the pilot flame at the end of the barrel just screams keep away or you will become toast..... Now with that in mind I wanted to add a little of that to the T-21 light repeating blaster. Well since the T-21 does not actually fire lead but to my best guess it delivers an intense laser like blast that much like Ripley's gun will leave any rebel scum on the business end of this bad boy looking like burnt toast. So some sort of pilot light was in order... Well enough said what do you guys think?? Best part this does not produce any heat that would melt the plastic :o) And it will run for days on just 4 AAA with out ever having to turn off. I can pop off the barrel in just 30 secs if I choose to turn off. 5/27/08 Update Here are a couple new shots in low light so detail is not what I had hoped More to come soon......... Have started weathering now that I am getting close to finishing (ok thats a lie these things are never finished) But with me working on my scratch build field pac, T-21, armor, and now this ABS super tough E-11 (all at the same time) things are still chugging along...
