Kurtyboy's project updates: 24 July - More blasters

Re: Project updates 18 December: ANH DH17 stunt casting upgrades

More upgrades in progress. I somehow missed most of this when it was discovered!

Don't have all the parts yet.

Looking good! I missed these discoveries too.
Did someone also figure out that those microchips are also what was used on the tops of some of the ANH E-11 scopes?
Those mysterious blocks on top that were thought to be pour sprues on resin scopes at one time. :)

That HIC deserves a slow clap. :)

ALL of Marcus´ work deserves this :cool

Well done buddy!

Hmmmm....that surely sounds plausible, any high res screencaps available to support this theory?
The size of these "sprues" would be very close to the chips:

Very interesting... Thanks Chris. Chip including holder?

Thanks Jason, Markus.

I´d say WITHOUT socket...this would make the assembly to high IMHO
Looks more like the 14 PIN chip only

Also got some new Cantina additions recently from Thrawn_es the new Cantina Master!

Re: Project Updates 20 Feb 2016: Cantina aliens and hero macros EL

That's awesome! I'm contemplating video camera in mine if it can be completely hidden and not ruin any aspect of the accuracy. But this might be a better solution... or just a video monitor playing a small loop of the sand people view.

Look for Trooper's thread where he did just that.

Project Updates 22 Feb 2016: Hoth A295 V1 and my blaster room

Finally got another ESB style Singlepoint (prices have been crazy of course) so gearing up to finishing this blaster. And with more daylight and the rain finally stopping I was able to get it painted. And not a moment too soon, I felt a few raindrops on my skin as I was carrying it back indoors!

This is my third and final ESB STGW44 based blaster. I used reflective material on the scope tip but I need to make it half the thickness...

And.... finally got my blaster display panels done. Unfortunately I ran out of hooks and can't find a source for the same style so there are still another six blasters to go up (plus about another 20 from other movies - I'm going to run out of space again...)

It's good not to be tripping over blasters all over the floor for a change! The number of accidents I had to repair!!!
 
Re: Project Updates 22 Feb 2016: Hoth A295 V1 and my blaster room

I really like the way you hung your DL-44s. It's very....oddly satisfying to look at.
 
Re: Project Updates 22 Feb 2016: Hoth A295 V1 and my blaster room

Stop having more DL 44 variations than me! Seriously... I can't catch a break between you, and Scott, and mattymatt, and now veektohr.... You're all killing me!
 
Re: Project Updates 22 Feb 2016: Hoth A295 V1 and my blaster room

Don't feel bad, I only have two completed DL44s and one Merr Sonn. The rest are still as yet five unconverted MGCS and a real C96 that I don't have the heart to cut up!

Tom, the DLL44 display style was Markus' idea!

Michael --> :darnkids

Love the blaster room!!!

I just updated my thread with the evolution of my blaster display ;)

Between you and Markus I'm going to have to cut out a couple of other hobbies to catch up! :)
