Keep watching this video, could you please let me know what glue did you use to attach the wooden handles to the plastic tube? I'm tempted to have a go at making them? 🤔

[@DaBuild]

@@stewartmcminn7773 Sure thing Steward! It's regular 5 minutes Epoxy glue. Make sure to sand the plastic to get a good grip! Cheers!

[@compudude]

Older video, but great work! I wish I had your workshop. Question: did you do a full repaint of the wand body (all that too-shiny black plastic) or did you just paint some black over it? The finish looks smooth (and less plastic) like a clean repaint, but it didn't really look like you did that, in the video's painting sequence.

[@DaBuild]

Hey! Thanks a bunch! Not I did not repainted the black part (maybe I should have) but the acrylic wash, the rust powder, dirt and better scratch made it look more believable.

[@RestorationAustralia]

Super cool, looks great.

[@DaBuild]

Cheers! Nice channel by the way! Sub!

Ever think of selling a kit for this? What is that black glue in the glue gun? What are the brass nail things used to secure the shotgun foregrip?

[@DaBuild]

Hello Tyler! I don't really do that for the money. I just like to build stuff. The black glue is simply, well, black hot glue. You can get it on amazon. The brass nails are simply brass rivets and are simply for the look. They don't secure much. I hope that answers your questions. Cheers!

[@thegoodspirit5288]

I would love to get an aluminum tip? Do you make to order or have an etsy? Would absolutely pay for one or even 10 if, I've got the green of course! I love this & the would handles would do 84 style for both back and front grips.

Thanks a lot! No, I did not change the mecasnism of the cylinder. As I mentioned, It's already a pretty cool toy :)

When are these Toy companies going to learn. Just rub a bunch of black paint on it, whip it off and bam. Perfect.

[@chrisminton516]

Amazing work man. Those are skills that I wish I had but if I tried doing that somehow I would just melt the entire thing down to a puddle of plastic and my tears. I am just curious to know. Does modding something like this hurt the resale value if you were to sell it years from now. It looks like it came straight out of the movie with your mods but I am just curious to know if someone would pay more money for it or would they want the stock wand? I got the pack coming to me when Hasbro releases them next spring and I will never sell it. I've always wondered though if mods hurt or help the value of something when they are done really well like this wand.

[@DaBuild]

Hey Chris! Thanks a lot. As for the value, I really dont know. I guess it depends on the quality of the mod vs the rarety of the original object it self. In this case, I would presume that it increased the value since there are a lot of these toys on the market and I do believe the mod I made is a solid plus. On the other hand, a mod made on a rare limited edition would probably decrease the value...But again, its subjective. In the end, its worth more only if someone is willing to pay for it.

what tape did you use on the grip?
