Limited Run Blade Runner 2049 - K's blaster....in Metal

[TomVDJ]

Looks very promising!

Its been a busy week at work, but I’m taking tomorrow off so i i can remove the clay for part 3 of the barrel rear.

The fittings for the pressure pot have been installed, and i will be ready to pour silicone on the grilles tomorrow.

 

[brandomack]

I removed the clay from the mold to allow for part 3 of the barrel rear. What you see here is what the rail keys into and is important to the overall fit and function of the finished piece.

This will still require a wash and dry prior to pouring the next part.

As for the grilles, i managed to pour and pressure cast part 1 of 2 this morning.

This is the status of the grille mold presently. I’ll begin carefully removing the clay after work tomorrow.

Cool Water? B's just letting us know he smells good while pouring silicone.

 

[brandomack]

Grille detail was captured perfectly!

Some more pics for us?

Just got home. I’ve worked all weekend for my day job, as i am building trade show displays for a company 5 mins away from home instead of film sets an hour and a half away. However it is trade show season for another two weeks and i’ve been averaging 12 hour days. so i have just managed to finish molding the grilles and poured part 3 of the barrel rear.

 

[brandomack]

Today is my first day off, unfortunately it’s because i tore something in my right elbow while setting up a trade show yesterday. I’m able to continue one-armed, it just makes things a little harder.

Here is the offending display...

As well as this stuff...

Today is the first chance i’ve had to rest, so it’s been a nice slow pace down in my office working on this mold.

I removed the last portion of clay, cut off any unneccesary flashing and added a registry key on top.

Here it is, all washed up and drying in the sun. I’ll put silicone on it tomorrow...

Next up... The hammer.

Ouch! Get well soon, Brandomack!

 

[Mechanized]

I’ve been steadily creeping on this thread, hahah.

Wishing you a speedy recovery, man.

All who are patiently waiting are going to get one hell of a blaster. Epic work brandomack

 

[sengel67]

Take your time....Get well my friend!

 

[brandomack]

Things went very well finishing the mold for the barrel rear. These should only require a light buff prior to assembly.

I also worked on the “plug” for the hammer. This mold part inserts into the underside of the hammer where it is hollow. The completed mold for this component will contain a total of 4 parts.

This run will be legendary.

Appreciate the regular updates. Keep up the good work.

Tons of hot glue sticks have been sacrificed for this blaster! So full of admiration for this maker and envious of the ones who got in on the run! Congrats to all.

 

[Matt009]

Get well dude! Thanks for the updates!

 

[brandomack]

Thanks for everything, guys. My arm is getting gradually better the more i rest it and stretch it.

As for the blaster, i managed to debox and clean up the hammer, then began
Boxing what will be the bottom of the mold when casting.
