PropReplicator2 Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Saw a post on Facebook today where WTF was designing a rebels Scout Blaster, but there's was designed completely from their ideas on how the blaster should look. My goal is to make a blaster based on references found in the series. Here are a few images I collected today from a biker scout chase scene in season 3 of the series. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScaryGuy Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Very cool to have another option for the blaster! I don’t think they made it up completely, for example the shape of the barrels look like the references, but they added details that are their own design. Without detailed images from the blaster design I think it will always be an artist impression. Looking forward to your design! Do you have measurements for the holster it should fit in? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey there, no I don’t have the rebels holster measurements. If anyone would be willing to share these that would be immensely helpful! I am focusing mainly on the cosmetic details for now, but will focus on sizing when I get ready to put it together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScaryGuy Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 No problem! I can take measurements for you. I’m working on a Rebels scout too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PropReplicator2 Posted September 11, 2018 Author Share Posted September 11, 2018 Huge thanks to Theo for helping me get these measurements right! Pics to follow, as the holster buck is built and the blaster model is being finished! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The build has slowed due to some health and family issues.. but it is still going. When I was almost done modeling the first version I saw some smaller problem areas that need further work done to make everything just right.

ScaryGuy Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Just a note about the holster measurement I gave you. I have the WTF/Alain Rivard blaster on order. Turns out it doesn’t fit the current WTF holster, so just forget those measurements. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it’s off in both width and length. Alain told me they plan to modify the holster for the kit, but no time frame for that. When I get the blaster I’ll see how I’m going to modify the holster. I saved the scrap abs pieces so I can make color matching abs paste, if I need to fill anything after making mods. He also sent a 3D printed holster with it, but that needs to be painted. Unfortunately he used the wrong shipping service so it’s coming by boat and it’s taking a loooooooooong time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScaryGuy Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Here’s a pic from Alain how it would fit the current holster. It needs to be way more wider and is too long to keep the holster in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting - looks like he put it together differently than you or I though - he butted the ends up and putty'ed them, not overlapped them.

He didn’t really put it together, he just did a quick mock up to show me how it would fit. But yes, the front ends should be butted together and the seam filled. And probably cut something out length wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
