    Apr 27, 2007 - The King of the Blasters! #1

    I think I'm done weathering and modifying my "baby". This was a result of an AP that was finished a couple of years ago. It was 2 years in the making! A big thanks to Boba Debt and lonepigeon for their expertise and bringing this to fruition.

    I do hope MR comes out with a version someday. They already have the tooling for the MGC and Mauser. They could make the MoM or Stembridge version. Or better yet, both!

    Here's some pics:

    Gorgeous as usual! I love your weathering, you always seem to get it just right between "used" and "Watto yard sale."

    Nice! I need to build one for my very own one of these days. Here is the last one I built...I had expected to keep the darn thing until I was talked out of it as part of a mass trade deal

    Look at all the "old timers" that came to see The King.

    Over 480 views and only 7 replies, not counting mine. SHEESH!

    I must have either done a crappy job or most people don't care for the Han ROTJ blaster. Or both.

    That looks really nice!!! Great job on that Ham. I must admit, I don't read all of the threads like I used too....and almost missed this one.

    I love the scope on this one!

    WOW!! I remember a few years ago when you were longing for the day....

    Glad to see it came to fruition for you. Now a question:

    The flash hider. Metal? Where me one get? Ugh.

    Thanks, Jason!

    How 'bout that scope ring too? We thought we'd never get an accuarte one until Markus came through for the group.

    Thanks, Jimbo!

    We're only as old as we feel and act. However, I feel 50 and act 16.

    This blaster will always be my favorite. You should know that!

    Hey, bro!

    Yeah, I remember pleading with Boba Debt to do a final run many years ago.

    Yes, the flash hider is aluminum. Mine came from the lastest, bestest run that Boba Debt did those many years ago.

    Um. Wrong anwer. The correct answer would have given the location of the flash hider's brothers and sisters...

    Sorry, Johnny.

    I couldn't begin to tell you where the rest of his family is. They're probably strewn all over the galaxy.

    I'd bring it to King's Island with me so you could see it, but I don't think we'd get past Security.
