One side has had the internal structures removed to allow the gearbox to fit in snugly👍
I also removed the trigger and switch area from the gearbox to allow for fitting.
Don’t worry, I have done this before with the Frankendeagle and it will be closed back in with alloy for reinforcement
Trigger switch will be relocated and custom trigger installed.
So a little more progress!
Got the mag figured out with all the bloody parts I have laying around in boxes, just have to close the top in properly and cut in a full door (gen8 style)
It lines up and locks in anyway
HLF upper bonded in one side, gen8 feed assy that screws in the lower. Will use the HLF terminal plate to supply power.
I’m not into Nerf and only got them to paint up and show. The plan was to buy as many as I could, paint, weather, badge and with a stand make some nice coin off them.
I painted 2, then lost interest.
I never saw the value in them because you’d have to love Nerf and love Aliens, sounds like a small market to justify the development. I read somewhere it was a pet project at the senior level of the Nerf makers and never made their money back.
At $200 they’re not a bad replica, once they get painted, weathered etc.
So, I have narrowed it down to the one board, one switch for the mag insertion for the counter operation and just a jumper wire for the count down😅
So with the M4SS style rear piston switch, it will even count down🤣
I’m also thinking of keeping the activator in the grip so that the blaster is in ‘safety’ and the system is shut down unless your actually holding it:thinking:
