How to get Blasters for cheap

As you might know from my mold line removing post yesterday. i decided to remove the mold lines for my models and it has been a real grind.

i have my box of warriors, then all the bits from 2warriors/wyches/raiders/venoms, 1 ravager, 1 razorwing and 1 box of wracks to go and then i'm done.

For my warriors I wanted to see the number of Blasters I could convert from one box. Here are some of the tricks i used.

 1 - shredder - trim off the ends and saw the end off a bit. then get a round spear from the venom or some other kit, put it above a lighter then pull gently till you get a thinner tube of plastic. then cut it and glue it on the end of your sawn off shredder
2 - blast pistols - cut the end off, saw a spare splinter rifle (measure the length from the real blaster) and glue the blast pistol end onto the sawn off splinter rifle.
3 - dark lance - saw off the end and the scope and it's a blaster. i wouldn't recommend this though. DL's are beautiful weapons.
4 - energy packs - if you have a box of raiders or some spare splinter rifles, you can carve out the power pack from the rifle and stick it onto the end of another sawn off splinter rifle.
5 - if you have spare arms, a good way to use them up is to cut out the forearm section of the arm and stick them onto ends of sawn off splinter rifles.

the last 2 methods will have you arming all your warriors with blasters... especially if you have some spare raider/venom bits laying around.

Final stretch.............. Anyone know any decent clips or time killers on the net??
