Han Solo ANH-Greedo Killer Blaster buildup

To be honest - the GK is not my most prefered version of the DL-44 Blaster. But as it is part of the history of Solo´s Blasters, i need to have one. ;)

As mentioned in my ANH-Hero thread http://www.therpf.com/f9/anh-hero-buildup-mgc-real-hensoldt-104056/ , i have now a leftover Denix - and decided to use it for this build.

Formerly it was the ANH-Blaster from my other buildup thread:

Since some weeks i´m collecting the parts that are needed for this version.

I got this superb cast scope from Tony´s (Adamata) last run:

Then i scored these scoperings with the searching help of Marcus (Kurtyboy):

And one week ago this baby arrived from out member thawn_es:

I already had made the discs on my lathe:

On the pic they are blackend with Birchwood Aluminium Black, that gives them a interesting nice vintage look:

But when finished they will be painted black, of course.

Two days ago, after finishing the Hero with the MGC-Mauser, i started the work on the GK with the now leftover Denix body.

First i made the bar:

GreedoKiller001.jpg



Then i took the Denix, and marked the needed holes according to the bar.
A center drill was inserted in the drill-press:

GreedoKiller004.jpg



And it was used to drill the feed holes:

GreedoKiller005.jpg



Next the holes were drilled to the core diameter for tapping.

Ignore the bigger holes - they are from the former buildup as a ANH-Hero. And they will be completly covered when the new scopemount is assembled. The one on the front will be used for fastening, too - it just needs a big shim and a nut inside the magazine.


Next step is tapping the holes:

GreedoKiller007.jpg



Followed with marking and drilling the flat alu-sheet piece:

Checking the fit:

I think i can give it a go:

Marking the cutout, and drilling it´s edge with many small holes - not to far from the edge to keep the amount of filing low, but not to close to ensure a wandering drill does not hurt the outline:

GreedoKiller012.jpg



Break/saw the cut part out:

GreedoKiller013.jpg



And file it in shape:

GreedoKiller014.jpg



Then the L-profile was cut, drilled and bolted on the lower part:

GreedoKiller015.jpg



Again the shape was marked:

GreedoKiller018.jpg


The process of drilling many small holes got a variation on this part. I placed 3 big holes in the corners, and then the small ones between them - that makes it easier to get the wanted smooth curve.


Painted and test-mounted:

GreedoKiller020.jpg


It would have been easier to have the parts machined, but a to perfect shape looks wrong in my eyes - they slapped the parts together in a hurry, a slighly uneven finish matches better. That´s why i did them from hand, with a halfround file.


Arranged with the goodies:

GreedoKiller021.jpg


The grill is a resin one from Vince/Corellian Exports - sooner or later it will be replaced with a milled metal one.


Next i need to do is filling, sanding, painting the scope. And turning a adapter for the flash-hider on the lathe.

And i would appreciate every help i can get to find out which rail was/can be used to mount the scope-rings.

Anyone a idea where to find a real scope?
 
Re: ANH - Greedo Killer buildup

Man - I would love one of those scopes.

Where did you come up with the shape for the bar? I haven't seen the details you put on this piece before.
 
Re: ANH - Greedo Killer buildup

They had one I saw on Ebay 3 weeks ago,sold for 300.00 for the real Hensoldt scope !!!!!! That was the last one I saw....Ill keep looking for ya.....Guy

Thanks, but the needed is no Hensoldt - the Hensoldt was/is used on the ANH-Hero, the version you build some days before, too.

And i had the luck to find a real one in a sweet condition http://www.therpf.com/f9/my-hensoldt-arrived-102540/ :) - i used it on my ANH-Hero: http://www.therpf.com/f9/anh-hero-buildup-mgc-real-hensoldt-104056/
 
Today i had some time to work on it, so i started on the adapter for the Flash-Hider:

GreedoKiller023.jpg



The bigger side slips inside the M9:

GreedoKiller024.jpg



And the end with the smaller diameter sticks through and simulates the Mauser barrel:

GreedoKiller025.jpg



Next it got a 5mm feed hole:

GreedoKiller027.jpg



In the frontpart i will keep the 5mm dia, as it looks better for a blaster than the big opening of a real Mauser:

GreedoKiller026.jpg



I drilled the back with a 10mm drill, and turned it to the needed inner diameter:

GreedoKiller028.jpg



Sawing the back crosswise:

GreedoKiller029.jpg



I did this cause i don´t wanted to glue it on the Denix - maybe i decide one day to swap the build to a MGC. With the slots i can use the original fastening mechanism of the flash-hider (and release it again if needed):

GreedoKiller032.jpg



Testing the fit of the adapter:

GreedoKiller031.jpg



Preparing the surface:

GreedoKiller030.jpg


Always know what you do - getting in the chuck with your fingers/hand when it turns is not funny. Be carefull.


It got some black paint:

GreedoKiller034.jpg



Placed in the flash-hider:

GreedoKiller035.jpg



And mounted on the Denix:

GreedoKiller037.jpg



And a view from the front:

GreedoKiller038.jpg
 
Additional, as you can see on the last pic in the above post, i mounted the grill. It is glued with 5 minutes epoxy, i hope it will stay in place.

Not to forget at a GK: Drilling a tiny hole and screw a M2 bolt in it:

GreedoKiller033.jpg



Painting the bolt black, too ..... and turn it in the hole:

GreedoKiller036.jpg



That´s it´s status atm:

GreedoKiller039.jpg



I started preparing the scope a little bit, too - but before i could take some pics the batteries of my cam gave up. Need to be recharged now.
 
My biggest concern now is "what scope-rail has to be searched/bought?"

I used a weaver rail that located one ring right on the end. I then cut it to length then cut in the notches to locate the second ring. I was lucky that the end I used had mounting holes I could use but I don't think drilling holes will be a problem for you.

The rail I used was meant to be mounted to a rounded receiver so I had to sand the bottom flat. I then made a spacer block to raise the rail up to proper height.

But if you can do mill work, here are the specs:

Don't worry about multiple slots, just cut slots to mount the rings at the ends of the rail.
