Nice work! It's really coming together. Do you have a way of securing the blaster in your boot holster? One thing I've learned while trooping is that it tends to drop out when you least expect it and that sometimes the little ones like to reach down and pull it out of your boot. Some options here are Velcro on the guard and holster or an elastic hair tie. For the hair tie you can install a hook out of scrap ABS in the holster and loop the band around the scope. When you're marching or interacting with the crowds it'll give you piece of mind knowing it's not going to go anywhere. I say this from experience of almost losing mine more than a few times.

I was gonna go down the Velcro route with it. I'll probably give a few different try's with various options and see what works best. Cheers for the advice as I was wondering how it stays in the boot ha ha

Right try this again. I had to put it away for a few days as I was having a bit of a nightmare. And was ready to throw in the towel with this build. My kids got hold of the dome and cracked the filler all down the back.

 

So here's starting again I've used milliput this time instead of bodyfiller as it's easier to work with.

 

 

I've also moved the abs strips around inside the lid as I found there wasn't much support if they were horizontal. So I moulded them vertically down the lid.

Congratulations on the specialist rank! I do have a question about your build. Can you show me how the inside of your drop boxes look?
