Detroitika - Tanner Jon A.
The Lost Blue
Brickarms plastic is reliably of the same quality as Lego plastic. It is on the harder and more brittle side, and it's dense, strong material. It holds up on the lathe and is not easy to cut.
Bricktactical / X39 plastic is far softer. It does not stay together on the lathe.
Despite the disadvantages, there is one advantage X39 plastic has. Its softness makes it easier to carve by hand. This grip is the direct result, and this mod is the marriage of the materials. Because of its relative softness, mild translucency, and easy sheen, the BT grip has this wonderful depth to its swirls, and I didn't have to use the lathe to make it.
