I've built this baby over the course of the last year, but only now (after having found some decent-looking albeit possibly still too slim T-tracks) have I come around to grabbing a good digicam and shooting some pictures outside in good light.
It's your basic PVC barrel for which I've been using the BBC tutorial, as for the other parts, they are resin casts courtesy of a BBC member. As can be seen, the scope had some air bubbles which I was (back then) too inexperienced to deal with accordingly, but I still think my blaster (and its display stand) turned out great. I'm especially proud of the gloss grip / matte barrel contrast, as well as the smooth transition from magwell to barrel (looks almost like welded metal to my eye) The scope also has a lens from a disposable camera at the front.
The only thing missing (so far) are the spiraling cables from the Hengstler, but I think it looks good enough without.
I'm sure a lot of you can point out a few inaccuracies (compared to the real movie props) but, hey, this was the very first prop I built.
Anyway, here's the pictures, I hope you enjoy them.
