my hasbro boba fett blaster conversion

buckettt · 12-25-2011, 04:41 PM

just finished my boba fett blaster using some hasbro parts....I made a longer stock and handle from wood, extended scope, and made a longer barrel...(basically removed/replaced everything but scope and flare gun center--still makes blaster sounds) measurements ended up being 5 3/4 (top to bottom) and 32 inches long ......finished w/grey primer, flat black, then dusted it with flat dark brown, then added scratches, rust ..etc...

That looks great! I did a conversion some years ago and stopped half through - very bad. LOL

WOW she is stunning I hope I can get one from you!!

pandabarnes · 12-27-2011, 06:20 AM

That looks amazing!

I just bought one of the hasbro blasters from tesco - was just going to repaint it but now I'm thinking I need to do this!

have you got any more wip shots you want to share?

PoopaPapaPalps · 12-27-2011, 09:42 AM

Most impressive! I've thought about doing this myself but then I realized what kind of work I had to put into it and thought, "maybe next time."

buckettt · 12-27-2011, 12:08 PM

sorry no other wip pics..(I just cut off handle, stock, and barrel ).found measurements of blaster online and then made stock, handle, and barrel according to measurements...attached (see pic) and painted....it was a pretty easy project ...let me know if u need help.

PoopaPapaPalps · 12-30-2011, 04:46 PM

Where'd you get the t-tracks from?

Slave1 · 12-30-2011, 04:54 PM

I never thought that could look so good. The paint job is especially impressive.

buckettt · 12-31-2011, 09:07 AM

thanks....I made the tracks from basswood strips (balsa wood)--the ones from the craft stores that come in different sizes ...just glued them together....oh and I still got to finish handle

Stormy320 · 12-31-2011, 10:09 AM

That looks awesome. What did it look like before?

That's exactly what I did on my mostly scratch built blaster, way back in the day when no one even knew for certain what the real gun was based from.

Awesome!!!!! I posted on TDH a loooooong time ago to see if anyone would make a resin conversion kit or something, but no one ever did. So I decided to hold out untill someone did. It's just sitting on the shelf now.

Nobby · 12-31-2011, 04:30 PM

that looks great!

slightly picky, but might wanna amend the stock-end of the trigger guard

whitehawk · 12-31-2011, 08:24 PM

ya..thats the only thing that bugs me...I ment to shave it down, but forgot (I did shave down trigger though ) I might take a dremel to it this week.

Solochaser · 12-31-2011, 08:40 PM

Did you keep the lighting effect on the toy? Does the tip pop off in the front?

weaselhammer · 12-31-2011, 09:13 PM

I'm impressed ! Nice job !

JoeLuna33 · 12-31-2011, 09:17 PM

That is cool. If you hadn't shown the first picture I would have never known.

merkymerx · 01-01-2012, 04:25 AM

Wow that looks legit! The weathering is fantastic! I love how dusty and worn out it looks. Great job!

JAMESHILL1979 · 01-01-2012, 05:25 AM

got mine laid in bits, now i've seen this i need to get cracking. awesome job.

buckettt · 01-01-2012, 06:46 AM

yes it still makes blaster noise, but no light, tip is glued on (pvc barrel and toilet bowl float thingy) .....after painting it flat black I lightly dusted gun with flat dark brown..gave it a nice brown rusty look, then some terricotta (rust) in the cracks (along with grey scuffmarks etc)

ohh..and weaselhammer ive seen your site before..sweet pistol
