Bringing the Blade Runner: Black Lotus Blaster to life

[LimeyBuilds]

I've been trying to get this one modelled for over a year now, since I first clapped eyes on it in Blade Runner: Black Lotus.
Joseph's old PKD, as it is in 2032, in its all-too-brief appearance.
Finally got to the point where I can build it up. I just love the sleekness of this design. Not sure who did the actual design and build of this for the show, but the things that really struck me right off the bat with this one were how long the grip is (at first seemed way too much but, the more I work with it, the more I am loving it), and then how exceptionally narrow it is compared to the original. It feels like a progression, it feels anime, and I can't wait to get this one done and see how it feels in real life.

I really liked that design when I saw it. Was asking myself "when would someone, on the RPF, start making that weapon?"
No need to say that I'm eager to see your next update

First test of a kit, and a quick partial assembly, because who can wait, right?

So lovely and sharp Any plan for the grips?

Yep the plan was to make them completely canon/screen accurate. So I'm aiming to make them the same browny colour as on the show:
(Just waiting for oil paint to dry up. should be able to take final pics tomorrow.

Kits, hopefully, soon. Learned my lesson about files.

Of all my builds, Deckard’s original PKD was easily the coolest, most satisfying replica to hold. Until now. I took the Blade Runner: Black Lotus PKD and made it real, and I just love it. My new fave. The long handle & narrow body feel so right after all.

Great design work, looks like you got all the details from Black Lotus captured. I agree it is a cool evolution of the PKD. Looking forward to your listing of the kits.

Great workmanship and results This kit would be even greater with the proper grips and some real steel add-ons!

Well, this one, to be screen accurate, has brown grips and not amber clear grips. My aim was to make the canon screen accurate replica.

It gives me oz factory flashbacks.

Currently doing a test print of reworked parts ready for kits. Also working on decorative grip frame for possibility of adding amber grips.

If adding amber grips, any plan to see part of the inner details of the gun showing in the grip?

That's what I meant about 'decorative grip frame' - just doing it in the style of the Deckard blaster like Anders FP's:

^^
Got it and yes, it's going to look way cool like that

I am now ready to do the standard canon KITS. Amber grips will come later when I have all the gear i need for that. Contact me for more info if interested! I think that's as much as I can say in this forum.
