    Description

    If you're going to explore the galaxy, you might encounter nasty and homicidal life forms. You need a way to defend yourself! This blaster will help. Custom 3D printed in full scale (or "life size" if you prefer), this ray gun measures about 10 3/4" long, 6 1/2" tall, and 2 3/4" in diameter. Colors are as shown with a translucent barrel.
    Get the kit form (9 parts) if you want to add light and/or sound: The body is hollow and the grip has a cutout that fits a standard lever microswitch (limit switch) perfectly. Glue (super glue recommended, epoxy for mounting the switch) and a hobby knife needed for assembly. Kit version can be ordered with or without the appropriate switch (you will have to do some soldering and fitting of the switch. Make sure the switch is glued down and working reliably before gluing on the handle).
    You supply the light/sound parts. Can also be painted for greater detail and realism. Uses a switch like this one:

    Made of custom 3D printed plastic: will show visible layer lines.
    The assembled unit does not have any light or sound.
    Assembly notes:
    Model building experience recommended.
    1. Super glue is best but tube model cement should work. Please test-fit all parts before using glue, just like any other model kit.
    2. The 2 gold (bronze) parts slip over the clear "barrel" to form a spool-like shape. They need to be glued. The clear "spike" goes into the opposite end of the "spool." Refer to the photos in the listing.
    3. The front of the main body will need some trimming in order to fit the forward part. It only goes on one way.
    4. The handle must be glued into the recess on the body. It fits neatly where it's supposed to go.
    5. The rear cap is a very tight fit. Some chamfering will be necessary and it will be a "snap" fit.
    5. The barrel assembly simply screws into the front of the body.
