Have you looked into 3D printing? You could just print a blaster out in pieces.

And still spend hours sanding

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

We're just discussing which flavor of sanding you want to do

[–] CmdrShepard@lemmy.one 1 points 10 months ago

Most definitely but I think it's a lot more straight forward to shape complicated parts than with wood.

Sure, 3D printed part’s definitely have their place, but my goal is eventually “better than screen accurate” - metal armour, wood stocks, metal blaster fittings, etc.
