I am a big fan of the weapons of Star Wars and I have wanted to make my own version for a long time. I got a We-Tech 6" Luger that I thought would be great for this project. I had not seen one done before.... Probably because I never actually looked. Of course it has been done before! I am not original! 
Well then Jyn Erso came out. So now we officially have a Star Wars Luger. I started this a few months ago and come back to it when time allows. My goal was/is to make a blaster that would look natural in the Star Wars universe. I plan on using elements from known weapons to make something different that fits. I will show my progress thus far.
I forgot to take before pictures so I lifted these stock photos from evike.com.
Just stock photos there, but a very good representation of what I received. I think you will agree that it looks way to new. So like all of you DL-44 builders, I will take this thing apart, strip the black paint paint off and blue it. I want it to look like a used WW2 Luger. Going to have to do something about those black plastic grips.
So there is a lot of parts in this thing. I don't have pictures of all the internals, but there is a bunch!
After some time with paint stripper and a wire wheel, we get this:
Pretty shiny.
Wow, my pictures suck! Sorry about that.
Again, there is a lot in this gun. These are just the pictures of the parts I needed to refinish. Reminds me of the time I fixed the lawnmower. When I put it back together, I had pieces left over. It still worked though. I want this to still be a functioning airsoft gun. So that will limit what I can do with it. I did design a scope mount for it and there is not much to mount it to. Oddly enough, the mount I designed (before I saw Eros's gun) looks very much like Erso's. I think because there is really not much in the way of a place to put a mounting bracket, unlike the C96 for comparison that has enough room to mount a Mack truck on it if you were so inclined.
I intend on putting a real scope, flash hider, and bull barrel on this gun. Also replace the grips with wood ones. Like I said, a mash-up of everything built onto a Luger. So you will see no original ideas from me! Just using what has been done before.
We will see if it comes out like I see it in my head.
I will add more pics later if anyone cares or even if you don't...
