Ah, indeed. I found his old build thread: Officer's K blaster (metal build) VIDEO update-page 6 . This also looked promising. Indeed the metal ones seem to be doomed. On eBay there is a seller offering a full metal one, but the details of that blaster are not super crisp. Does look OK, though...I joined Elilay's run for the metal 2049 K blaster, it started maybe 2 years before this run, but he was unable to get a smooth finish on the metal parts that he was happy with, so he closed the run and refunded everyone after that I took the money I was refunded and jumped in on Brandomacks run. I have since had two version of the metal K blaster from Models and Props in Italy, and I am very happy with the one I kept.
In the meanwhile, I'll just settle for my resin one. Super crisp cast, fantastic aged finishing and nice electronics (electronic trigger that moves the upper thingy), and bright red leds...
