  • I figured if I have made so many thunderbolt sirens, it fell upon me to make a tutorial so you guys can build your own just like mine, or better. This took over a month to make, and as I said in the video, it was a tough challenge to do, and I ran into a lot of problems along the way, but finally, the journey is over, and this video, long overdue, has finally uploaded.

      You can buy it here. It appears the thunderbolt is not on the site right now. This is probably because they are restocking the item. Check the website every few days.

      @rpgiv3175  Před 3 lety

      Oh golly, that's definitely a hard issue to fix. You can try to remove the glue (but this may damage the model so I wouldn't recommend doing it) or you can sand down the area that has the glue to make it smooth, cut the horn and glue the horn on the surface of where the gap used to be
