Well, they're finished. I think the substitute washer/nut came out nice! Again, not accurate by any means, but it's MINE. :)
My phone camera putzed out on me at the end (a common failing for HTC One, I hear), so I'll try to get better pics from another camera tonight.
For the outside knob (the hard-to-find piece), am I correct that it mounts from the inside out? If so, if the remaining bolt thread just ground off?
I don't think Scott is making them anymore (that's his blaster in one of the pics), so I found a close alternative that will suffice:
Re: Blast-Tech Part Identification?
Scratch that (I'll do some searching for pics)...better question: what is the width of the spacer, basically the distance between the mount and the magazine well?
Re: Blast-Tech Part Identification?
I'll send Scott a PM to see what he's making. Does anyone have a decent pic of the mount-side of the ESB blaster? Were they different between the Hoth and Bespin model? What did Luke's look like?
I know John is pretty much out of the blaster-prop biz, and I've been able to find most of the parts for my new DL44, but I was wondering if anyone could tell me the name of the small black washer he uses for the ESB scope mount. The best I could come up with was a 'counter-sunk washer'...
That's good info. Yeah, I knew they weren't powder-coated, but couldn't figure what terminology to use to convey my point. :D
I'll experiment with stippling, too.
I'd say yes about the MPP shroud finish...I'll have to check out the wrinkle paints. I thought about the hammered finished, too. Gonna get a piece of PVC to practice on, see which option looks the best.
I have a resin M19 scope for my ESB DL-44 blaster, and in the process of sanding it in preparation for priming, I sanded a bit too much of the 'rough' texture on the exterior. I wanted to experiment to see if I could replicate the powder-coat look of the original scope with spray paint.
Is...
