Han Solos ANH-Hero Blaster buildup - from a MGC-Mauser, with real Hensoldt and

The buildup itself is very easy, as i already had the needed parts,

I scrapped the already build Denix-ANH-Hero, and put the parts on the MGC:




The main difference in the way of the buildup is that i painted the bullbarrel/flash-hider adapter instead of blacken it with Birchwood Alu-black. This meets the MGC color better, but still isn´t perfect:




This is how it looks at the moment:






The remaining Denix will be transformed, and used for the buildup of a ANH-Greedo Killer.

Very nice!!!

Thanks, Markus.


I´m not sure if the difference in the overall appearance between the MGC and the Denix is really noticeable on my pics, but in real there is a difference. But, off course, there is also a difference in the requested prices - the Denix is still a sweet piece for a low price.

And here is the promised thread with the reused Denix, for my Greedo Killer:

Off to a nice second start.

Very nice too!

Thanks.

As it was the second time, it was a easy job. I just wish the MGC-Mauser would be more easily accessible. I could use 1-3 more.

Very nice!

You have really become one of teh most impressive members on the board with your great write ups and your fabricating/build skills.

Thanks

Nice build! What is the cost on the MGC?

Between 250£ and 375£

Got to say that looks really cool. Was that an E-11 build I could see in the pictures too?

You meant "$", not "£", right? I´m sometimes a little bit confused with the jumping prices, my rule of the thump is between 200-300€. Sometimes less, sometimes more, depending on the condition of the gun.

Not exactly, the ones I usually found on the net are around 350£

Ouch.

I´ve seen them went so far, twice - but in both cases the description was a little bit "confusing". Additional not the best pics, so if you don´t know your gun, you could have thinking your bidding on real deacs.

Some pics i forgot to show here:

The bullbarrel got it´s typical chamfered end:


That´s the way it looked:


And the grill got some additional machining for better details:


The bullbarrel is atm on its way to his new owner in CA, i will rework this gun in a not to far future.

Great images!

Thanks so much for sharing...

My pleasure, Mylady.

Once i´m bored and have some free time i will copy it to the RL, too - it just has not the highest priority, cause it is kind of overkill for costuming (and to heavy for many/most).

Call me crazy, but i decided to make a new bullbarrel for this gun, the "old" one went to Hirohawa (i hope it arrives soon and he likes it).

Reason for this decision were the tiny slits where the chamfered barrel mets the receiver, i wanted to try another approach on the problem, something i had seen on another build (thanks, Pat ).

I turned the MGCs barrel down to the point where the bullbarrel of the original gun goes onto the receiver:






Man, i was pretty nervous when doing it. There was no really safe way to chuck it up with my equipment, and cheaply cast Zamak is not as sturdy as some other stuff. And having it rotating with over 1000 rpm a half meter from my head is nothing i likeed.

Next step will be to turn a new barrel with a hole to go over the remaining original. With the new parallel and really round surface it should be a nice fit/adjustment. Then chamfering the edges on the mill, and turning a adapter from Delrin for the flashhider.

I hope it will look better then as before, otherwise i would have scrapped a pristine MGC.

Wow! This is an amazing thread! Your dedication to the blasters does you credit!

Thank you.

I like what I see! Looking forward to seeing how the bull barrel turns out.

Did you make the front grill yourself?

Mee too.

Aye. Originally i made it for my Denix ANH-Hero, later i scrapped it - the parts went on this MGC, and the gun was used for the Greedo Killer.
