Ok I switched and got the processor head instead of the bucket. Just got sick of waiting.
I made this bucket about a month or so ago hoping it would fit perfect and it did










I also made the same bucket for the 336 just alittle smaller version




Awesom detail on this model number 627 out of 1000, I hope to have this bucket out in a few months

Is the bucket for the 336 ready?

Anything is possible if you don't know what you are talking about.

You can buy one and paint it just like you said, mold should be finished in the morning. Second half is cooking in the pressure pot, second go at it I messed it up the first timed'oh! darn silicon is not cheap. Hopefully ina few hours I will have the mold ready for pouring

Ok I took sme pics with the sand bucket attached










Looks pretty cool, I had a trench bucket done up for it but I built before the model got here and the ears were .5mm to narrow. I tried to cut them off to fix and the bucket torn a hole in it so I am starting a new one

Yep, that 870 looks great with a sand bucket! i hate when it does that when you need to replace the mounting brackets...

I don't know if you ever tried it but it works sometimes... When you need to remove a part, put some glue on the joint, when it reacts it kind of melts the first joint so you can start to move it a bit to weaken it. It could work the first time but if you need a second try, do it and it has some good chances to come off.
