I've build a style IV and style VIII from Yellowbox:

They turned out really nice, and were cheap to make.  If you haven't seen the site, check it out!

ive never took the plunge but ive found sites covering this while trying to find something for an e11 and mg34.  ive heard good stuff about using a vaccum cleaner for parts.

itll start with the handle then the royal guard staff, e11 from the british smg, and so much more.  good luck.

Not my favorite blaster (style wise) but the tutorial may give you some ideas.  Great site if you're into movie props.
