[Please excuse my not having the correct designation for some of these toy weapons... I often obtain them without the original box and, quite frankly, I really don't care what they are named -- they are simply fodder for modification, in my opinion.]
To date, I have reworked three of those Clone Trooper "Build-A-Blaster" kits -- one is awaiting final touch-up painting. I also found a Star Wars blaster at Goodwill, which was among my recent repainting process, so these will appear together in the following set of photos...
Here's a couple photos of the starting material for these guns...
-- and --
The most recently acquired Clone Trooper Rifle kit had a non-functional row of lights, so I needed to open it in a (successful!) attempt to repair it. For the sake of reference, here's a photo of the opened component --
Primer coat in progress --
I was extremely annoyed by the absence of a series of actual holes along the upper ridge of the coling barrel on the one blaster, so I carefully drilled these out --
Here's a WIP photo of one of the Clone Trooper Rifles reassembled before final detailing (this is actually the current state of the THIRD one) --
... And these are various components laid out for hand detailing --
Several of the finished components for the two types of blasters ---
...and again, with the Rifle reassembled (sans stock) --
One more shot, this time with the SECOND rifle I did (for someone else, missing some of the original components; top), alongside the FIRST rifle I finished a couple years ago (bottom) --
... more photos to follow of some of my other weapon repaints, just as soon as I can get at them.
