Re: Rogue One Felicity Jones gun - ideas
I have watched the new 8/11/16 trailer a few times and so far I have added only one new observation and it is not very informative. At 1:46 we can see what appears to be Jyn's belt closure at her left hip. All I can say for certain is this closure is taller than the height of her belt. Earlier photos hinted at this but nothing I have seen so far has been helpful in capturing the design of this element.

Here's a shot from the new trailer:
Also, are we sure that the WE Luger was used? Because I found this Luger from another company: http://shop.ehobbyasia.com/tanaka-luger-p08-6inch-gbb-pistol-heavy-weight.html

KWC makes a good metal airsoft and airgun.
If we're depending on the 6" barrel. WE it is.

Re: Rogue One Felicity Jones gun - ideas
I think we're pretty sure it has to be the 6" Naval version, because of that rear sight section.
I'm starting to see a couple weird details, though, on the prop. Things that don't match up with any Luger I've seen.
I'm guessing this is a stunt version, but there's what looks like a cut out area at the back on the side, beside the rear sight.
There's a raised ridge of material that follows the contour of the Luger, and in this photo, that ridge looks broken or cut away.

That frame modification is visible on what appears to be a hero as well -- see the photos of it on display in this post:

There also appear to be light gouges in the metal where perhaps their mill or grinder slipped.
Another pic somewhere in this thread indicated that they removed the safety lever as well.

Re: Rogue One Felicity Jones gun - ideas
I agree, this is likely a stunt model, though most stunt models these days are exact copies of the hero model made out of urethane.
To me, the rear sight looks like it is covered. From my experience, Star Wars military blasters have scopes while civilian models might have iron sights. Though iron sights are generally a no no. Visible/identifiable magazines have also been a no no. But they seem to be veering off of that street for Rogue One.

Re: Rogue One Felicity Jones gun - ideas
There appears to be multiple guns used which is to be expected; some which fire, some good for closeups, some only holstered, some for action, etc. Some of the shrouds have holes which do go all the way through, others which do not. I assume the ones without holes are "cast" replicas. The ones with holes would require more maintenance and cleaning so I would expect them to be rarely used. I am using aluminum tubes for my shroud, the outside has an OD of 1.125" and then another which slips inside of it. I have holes which can align and show an opening, with a slight twist of the inner tube the outside holes are blocked and show only a slight "indent". This way I can have either option as necessary.

Re: Rogue One Felicity Jones gun - ideas
There are some new photos of Rogue One Toys. One of interest to me is the following:
http://www.ew.com/gallery/star-wars...sive/2729128_gallery-no-crops-jyn-erso-toys-9
It shows the left side of Jyn's belt. I never know the accuracy of the toys but this seems to show the front of the belt simply overlaps the portion coming from the rear. From some other photos the front part of the closure appears thicker than a single layer of belt leather. This matches my approach of using a simple Fidlock magnetic buckle. My initial idea is to fold the front end over to double the thickness. This allows me to cut out an opening in the folded portion which will hold half the Fidlock in the opening and surface mount the other half on the rear portion.. I am interested in other people's opinion especially anyone who has better photos or personal observation of the belt.

Re: Rogue One Felicity Jones gun - ideas
Looks like the blaster can accept barrel and stock attachments:
Maybe that's why the messed with the back of the Luger.
It also looks like the Jakks Pacific Big-Figs Jyn Erso has the barrel attachment:
Nerf's also releasing this $50 blaster that's supposed to be Erso's, but it's more similar to Cassian Andor's:

Re: Rogue One Felicity Jones gun - ideas
Ok, So before I jump in to my 3D design for Jyn's blaster I thought I would do a quick photoshop sketch to see if I am on the right track. Let me know what's "off" so I can make changes and carry on. Once I finish the 3D .stl I'll post them for anyone to use.

Re: Rogue One Felicity Jones gun - ideas
Imagehunter I think your sketch looks great. I post the following comments not as "facts" but in the hope others will chime in to support or challenge these observations as they are based on fuzzy photos.
I do not believe the black ring on the shroud is ribbed.
I do believe there are very shallow grooves on the section of the shroud behind the black ring on the toggle side.
I believe the front face of the black extension under the shroud is angled much like you have angled the section in front of the trigger guard.
I believe on the left side there are only two machine screws holding the side bracket, but there are three screws on the right side.
Not a part of the print but the safety should be removed.
One question on your design. Do you have the right side and left side bracket as one piece wrapping over the top of the barrel? I have considered that possibility but so far have not found any evidence to accept or reject that idea. I have also thought there might be some connection between the bracket and the shroud. I would be interested in your thought as you have obviously spend some time analyzing the design.
