1. Trim off the red "nose" and plug it with a resin casting. Mine came off a sterling. For those who don't know, the Stormtrooper blaster was made using a British WWII weapon called the Sterling L2A3.

2. I bought the front part of a folding stock, which was also casted off an actual Sterling. The back end of the folding stock was made from plastic sheet, heated up and then bent.

3. Putty up some holes, paint it black if you got the white version and here's the finished product in time for Chingay. I may do some more mods to it when I've more time OR better yet, build a 1:1 scale version. The Hasbro blaster is a bit undersized compared to the actual size version.
