Budget Build - Jawa Blaster (horn not enfield)

[Sillof]

I am working on completing many of my star wars guns. I was interested in attempting this jawa blaster

A few years back most of the parts were tracked down by the RPF members. The big pieces were a Coupling Assembly in the rear and the bendix venturi horn in the front. Rather then spend thousands on a jawa gun I thought I could make it on a budget using mostly pvc. A member on the RPF did a similar build but I wanted to try to get the piece to be as exact as possible.

All in all less than $10 in PVC. I trimmed down the longer section to the right to make it more accurate. I filled it with plaster and expanding foam for weight. The knurling is a sheet of polystyrene. The end cap is a spray paint can lid and a screw button cap.

More to come as I move the the stock and funnel.

Very nice build so far...always amazed about what can be done with PVC

The discoveries were made last year and I am about to receive my order from shapeways, so I can finally start my own build with a real coupling and exhaust venturi

Keep the pics coming!

That's one of my favorites, I think because it actually looks like something a Jawa would make from old scrap and somehow have a functional piece of advanced (to us) technology.

Maybe I'll finally make one now.
