Hello all Star Wars and Han Solo blaster lovers...
I have been asked to post links and images of my Han Solo replica Blaster build made from DEC (Dark Energy Creations) and MGC c-96 Mauser parts in case anyone wanted to use them for reference material.
The project was started in January 2011 with RPF member Deadbolt. We set out to find answers and details never before known about the original ANH Han Solo blaster prop and build an accurate kit for RPF members.
The following images are the culmination of over 4 years of research and development by many RPF members ending with an ongoing discussion of over 3300 posts and 133 pages! THE SEARCH GOES ON !
What we ended up with was a Hyper Accurate parts kit based on newly found greeblies original parts as well as endless 2d drawings and images from many RPF members and 3d model builds by Deadbolt.
There are comparison overlays which show, IMO, that the accompanying photos are as near an identical photographic match to the original prop as possible.
I attempted to make my rendition of the prop a exact "duplicate" of the screen used A New Hope blaster prop as used by as Han Solo, so I decided to duplicate the final post production - last know images of the prop in the same condition as it was last held by Harrison Ford in 1976.* with every Mauser marking and proof mark, HW Scope markings, scratch, ding and surface detail blemish as seen in the available production images. Some of the work includes the asymmetric scope mount risers, Naked Runner Bull barrel latch and removable recoil booster, Carson's Lump, Real c-96 hammer with correct serial # markings and corrected safety and much more.
I include comparison images of the actual prop and of my replica as well as detail images in color to show what the actual real prop may have looked like in person...in 1976.
Thanks for looking.
