Mugatu recently sold this superb condition real Webley to Albery who asked me to build his ESB EE3 for him.

Real 1917 Webley
Real Milbro scope
Real V8 Pistons
Real Molex connectors
Sidewinder mount, and mystery discs.
Cast LMK plugs
Rafalworks Center Stock greeblie
This is very much like my own, but this Webley is in STELLAR condition. Original Blue intact and just gorgeous. I took it down completely and fixed a small issue with the hammer not locking back on cocking.

In the pics you'll see the greeblies are a little crooked when I tweaked them while setting up the stand to take a couple quick pics. That's fixed.

Also will lighten the weathering on the MPP a bit before sending it out.

Outstanding. It's been said before, and I'm sure it will be said several more. Simply outstanding, Scott.


We both knew that it would never work out between us. Me, a Yank, and her a Brit. We were oceans apart, but we will always have March of 2016.



Once again, Scott, absolutely incredible work my friend...

...and CONGRATULATIONS ON THIS BEAUTY, ALBERT!!!

Beautiful work! Looks like it came straight out of the Lucasfilm archives

The weathering's great too - I really like all the small chips and dings in the stock.

Just an interpretation really. I haven't ever seen a good pic of the original underneath. This is just a bit of solder wire, but it works for the look.

The scope isn't going to be painted flat black like the original prop... as this Milbro is in brand new condition.

The molex connectors are held on by magnets. I did this so that it can easily be removed and replaced if it needs to be laid down and also for shipping. Otherwise something pinned, screwed, or glued would break. This is for display so it's perfect.

Same for the side V8 con rods and mystery disc greeblies. This also means nothing is permanently attached to the webley.

Fixed the alignment

Molex are dyed

This is top notch, probably the finest ee-3 I have laid eyes on.

Great minds think alike Scott

I also went with magnets to attach the discs and V8 pushrods to the Webley (even if I pinned/ glued the molex connectors to the clamp)

Best research on the TDH forum shows it's most likely a Hunter or Milbro... more leaning toward Hunter, which is what I have on mine.

Dear God.

Just once could you make a post that doesn't blow my mind, make me jealous, and start thinking of things to sell, pawn, mortgage?

AAAHHH!!!

Sorry Markus n Marcus. This has to be the coolest "replica" blaster I've EVER seen... I say "replica" in quotes because other than it not being screen used, this thing is actually REAL.

Freaking NEED this... (Tell me it can still shoot flares??? LOL)

Just stop Scott! Or at least make just one thread with a sloppily modded rubies or doopys blaster so the rest of us don't have such blaster-envy?

In all seriousness, I'm afraid to ask how your gonna top this one?

I'm drooling over here.
