| So far thanks to Airbrushler........... Comes with stencil for markings and need to think about how to make it weighted without damaging the plastic or have the bottom fall out. |

| I couldn't resist either. So here is mine. For some weight I added about 10 kg play sand. Before I sealed the primer I drilled a 5/8 hole which allowed me to pour the sand in and then super glue the pin. I have seen them in photos but until you see the scale, well, I never really appreciated the size of the shell. |

| Oh wow nice......... How did you glue the bottom ? It is soft ABS plastic and I worry about it not holding the weight of the sand. That would be the cheapest and easiest solution. |

Apologies Mike for the long delay. I sanded the contact points for the projectile and the fire pin with gap filling Cyanoacrylate ( crazy type glue )Seems to hold very well. |
