I have been working on a 3D model of the T-21 Light Repeating Blaster used by the lead Sandtrooper whom was approached by the informant, Garindan, about the droids they were looking for. I had no problem getting source material for modeling the Lewis Machine Gun that the prop is based on but learning about how the prop was modified has been a bit difficult. Yesterday I was working on the piece that goes right in front of where the ammo clip for the Lewis goes. Everywhere I look, people who have built their own props have added a half moon or arch type part there as some sort of sensor mechanism. I modeled something very much the same but it bothers me not knowing what the prop masters actually used. Today I looked at some HD screengrabs from http://starwarsscreencaps.com/ and from what I can tell, there is no part like that on the blaster! To me it looks like a section of coiled wireon top of the blaster or on the left side. Tell me if you agree:
