Blade Runner Blaster

I think i had your site bookmarked for 7 or 8 years referencing your tutorial. Your build was always the pinnacle in my mind. Glad to see this posted again!

Thank you for your kind words, I am pleased the tutorial helped some.

I don't have it unfortunately Sean, my original web host trashed my old web pages through sheer stupidity
Perhaps someone at PropSummit still has a copy of it somewhere

Here are screenshots of Mark's tutorial

this is the link to Siderio's construction guide on page 1 -

Sorry, don't have any copies of the gallery page or links page, referenced on page 3

Thank you very much David3, that's incredibly good of you.

As David3 mentioned, my blaster has been extensively upgraded since this initial build but the process for the weathering and the overall finishes mentioned on these pages are still applicable. This build was done mostly based on Karl's incredible photo-essay ofn the original blaster so mine in this iteration was very heavily weathered and rusted - as his photo's showed.

Part of my upgrades over the years included dialling back on the weathering so it matches the blaster as it currently exists post its restoration. I have had the privilege of seeing and handling the original and was keen to create a version that was more in line with what I have seen personally.
