Hw do you like my blaster pistol?

The pictures are of my friend in his scout costume holding my new blaster pistol, it's a black resin kit with space for electrics from the toy Boba Fett or Storm Trooper blasters by Hasbro. I have painted the receiver, trigger guard and scope to look like weathered black painted metal parts leaving the grip bare resin so it has a very convincing matt black plastic look, the idea being to have a pistol that is as accurate as possible to the prop while looking like it could be a real weapon.

 

If you're wondering where the trigger is it's the button on the side of the grip, it was the only thing that made sense and means no non film accurate extra trigger! It works very well, it sits just under your second finger.

THat's actually pretty cool. How does it compare to one of the non-electronic blasters in size?

[Stuffandjunk]

If they're the same size as the original prop then it will be a very similar size to them.

Nice! What's it weigh? You mentioned that it's about the same size as the original... guessing it's a bit bigger? If it's no trouble, could you put up a couple of photos against a ruler?

very nice work! i would also like to see some scale pics.... :-P

I'll see what I can do with comparison pics, it's as far as I know the same size as the prop, it was built partly to dimensions on the technical drawing that is floating around on this forum somewhere and also on dimensions given on a couple of websites for the scope, so that should be the right size. If you're thinking it needs to be bigger for the electronics, it doesn't they are tiny and fir in the grip. The batteries are AAA so two fit in the body no problem.

 

This is it with the Boba Fett internals, the Storm Trooper ones are slightly larger so you can see there are some spacers that come with it to fill the gaps around the circuit board. It's neat, there is a push buton on the board that the trigger button on the grip sits right over.

It's a good price. I'm not planning on getting a blaster for another month or two - got to get my car serviced as a higher priority.

 

There's other things I need to consider such as whether I can get it through Australian customs - I know there's a free form I can fill out with the police...

I think I've sent other resin models to Australia.
