Merr-Sonn Power 5 Heavy Imperial Blaster from a cool member here (thanks Benji), made from metal Denix replica.The blaster also comes with wooden grips and Lichtbringer greeblies (great job on the greeblies). A very cool piece, rarely made so far. I'm having a stand made for it as we speak.

Some of you may be familiar with my real deact. Sterling E-11 Stormtrooper blaster with genuine M38 (and M40) tank scope, real Eagle Hengstler counter, accurate cylinders and T-tracks. I just upgraded the cylinders with a real trio of capacitors not, just copies. I also added an metallic Imperial logo on the base. I know I worked hard to make this blaster as accurate as possible, and I'm glad how it turned out.
In the end the Sterling Stormtrooper blaster remains my top favorite collectible. This piece simply screams "Star Wars" and with all its moving parts is like a real blaster. Everyone seeing my collection in person, after I tell them what it is, want to see it closely and even hold it - though holding it is a very hard to give privilege.
It is a very sturdy blaster, it's the real deal, maybe someone even used it in some war. I have the MR Stormtrooper blaster too (I even had a disassembled MR one), but the Sterling is not a metal pipe replica blaster like the MR E-11. I could even beat someone with it LOL, and not worry it will break, something I wouldn't dare with the MR blaster.

Its brightness comes from the sun that shined a lot the day I took the photos. I also like my helmets to be perfect and clean, like they came out from an Imperial factory, I don't like the artificial weathering, except Sandtroopers - and even on Sandies weathering needs to be good.

The HCG Terminator 2 CPU Brain Chip arrived, pretty nice resin piece with light up acrylic tube. There is no comparison with the cool metal and glass Russ Replicas (RB Replicas) version, still I got this one in a good deal. Maybe later a comparison shot of the two.
