Starting the new run at this time.

Note to interested buyers inside the UK, we have shipped three packages to our importer AOK.

NOW is the time to get these Kits and Models while he is still able to help us.

As last time we cannot count on him forever, as last time health stopped him for a couple of years.

Could happen again so this window could only be good for this run.

Word to the wise.

Get those orders in NOW.

Rich

Here is a special offer for my Fully built model.

The Fully built model is fairly covered in my Auctions on eBay:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/191132178835...84.m1561.l2649

You can order one directly.

The special price for a direct order is $1400.00

These are special off eBay prices.

I can be emailed at racprops@cox.net

I have been asked it I can: "That looks great! But can't you offer a kit pre-tapped for those of us lacking the mini workshop needed to tap properly. Sort of a half way between a kit a finished build. Of course for a fee. by Locitus.

I can, but how much will be needed to be pre-done??

As suggested many do not have the kind of power tools needed to build this model.

That to do so requires drill press and a belt sander.

To fully do the model to the point where someone would not need these tools will require me to drill and tap all holes, which then will require me to fit and sand the grips and the grip frame and the inner grip frame together and then power sand then bottom of this assembly.

And to power sand and fit and mount the butt plate to the prepared grip frame and grips.

Also to power sand and fit the swing arm.

And to power sand the cylinder.

Power sand and fit the trigger guard.

And to clean up and fit the barrel to the Bulldog and then then the Steyr receiver to them.

And to then clean up and fit the ammo housing to the main body and drill and tap its hole.

In short to do all the needed clean up and power sanding and to fit all the parts that need power sanding and their drilling of mounting holes and tap same.

What we will have is a model nearly completed short of final sanding of all unfinished surfaces and lacking fine sanding, polishing and painting.

So a 80% finished model needing final sanding and polishing, and metal treatment and other parts needing painting and wiring and hooking up of the LEDs and switch system.

Well considering this I come up with a Price of the above of $800.00.

And I have done such models in the past.

These model kits will be done along side my run of fully build models and stopped at the point of fine finishing and the metal treatment of the parts that are bare and the painting of the parts that are painted black.

And of course not doing the wiring and hookups of the LEDs.

Feel free to ask questions.



I have full instructions, not laid out all that great and covers a couple of versions.

Also I have found Europe customers have trouble finding the correct Taps so will off them as well.

In the here are the links to the instructions on building these. Note these cover a couple of versions.

There are a lot of subfolders in the above.

Anyone here reading this getting a Blaster kit overseas??

It has been pointed out that many overseas builders have a hard time getting the US sized taps. 4/40 8/32 etc.

Please let me know ASAP if you need these taps.

Rich

Having built one of Rich's kits in the past, (his last run, prior to health issues)

The ONLY power tools I used were a grinder, a standard hand drill, a Dremal tool, hand files, and ELBOW grease, hand sanding/polishing.

I did NOT tap ANY screws. I did drill out all screw holes slightly smaller than needed and "taped them" using the actual screws by SLOWLY screwing them in. Took about an hour and a half to do all the screws.

I have just acquired all the parts to build a new Coyel Blaster recently on e bay and directly from Rich (just ordered the last four pieces Fri)

These kits are NOT that difficult. You JUST have to take your time.

On this "kit" I will be using real charter arms trigger parts and pins for trigers, along with the side cylinder release switch and trigger handle spring (can't think of the name of the part that is in the handle that pushes the trigger back)

In MY opinion the most difficult part is the wiring of the LED's etc.
(I have vision issues)

YES you WILL run across some fit and finish issues as these are HAND made. ANY "problem" can be corrected with a little TLC and patience.

YES Rich's built versions are better as he has built WAY more kits and has all the tools needed as he should.

Follow his instructions and yours will be killer when your done.

His kit was the first time I had built an all metal kit.

Once I got over the "OH NO I DON"T WANT TO F it up" fear I really didn't have any major problems. Rich was MORE than happy to point me in the right direction with any issues.

I HIGHLY recommend these as they are as close as you can get to the actual prop in MY opinion.

Just say'n

OK All KITS are spoken for.

NO more kits from this run.

Next kit run sometime in the late fall or early winter.

Only full built model are now being offered.

Get them while you can.

Small correction:
I can still offer a nearly done kit.

I have started on the buildup of my next run of models and short of the chemical treatment and painting can sell a model at that point if anyone wants one.
