I loved the look of this blaster from the first moment I saw it. It’s so clunky and all the angular surfaces and curves give it a lot of character. I think it’s much more interesting than any sonic screwdriver!
I’ve been puttering around with this project for some time. Last year I started teaching myself SketchUp and a few of the blaster parts made for good practice subjects. Didn’t get far with all the drawings of blaster parts, but did get familiar with the program. I like making old-fashioned pencil drawings when working on projects, so went that direction and decided to stop thinking about it and just start building.
The original prop was built around a Nerf Scout IX-3, so that seemed an appropriate starting point. I could never tell if other found parts or other Nerf parts were used, so beyond the grip and trigger area, I scratch-built in sheet styrene. WIP pictures show the various patterns for molds and casting of the final replica is yet to come.
Need to finish a few detail parts, then stack it all up, primer/sand, etc. Will post more pictures soon as progress is moving along rapidly now.
