Re: Gauging Interest for Han Solo DL-44 blaster acrylic stand
I watched this video... well skimmed through it. Did i miss it or was the the clearance of the rear of the blaster discussed. His replica does not have a scope. on the Hero, that extends further out than the main body.
It occurred to me, instead of trying to make a case based of measurements of a blaster, why don't I give you measurements of the MR Hero display. This way you know how much room to have for clearance is someone does put a cover on it, how tall to make each post so that the blaster is level but yet shot enough so that the lanyard area is as close to the base as possible. I can also give you measurements of the distance to put the small support based on the MR The Empire Strikes Back case.
Let me know.

Re: Han Solo DL-44 blaster acrylic stand
Please also keep in mind that due to the scope being mounted on the side of the Mauser that it sticks out a good bit - the blaster's main body should not be fully centered in the stand, rather slightly to the left, to help composite for the space that the scope mount and scope takes up. Like on here:
You can see that Master Replicas moved the whole thing to the left so that, with the addition of the scope, the ENTIRE blaster is centered, instead of the base gun being centered with the scope jutting out, throwing the whole thing off.
The final suggestion that I can offer is that it would help improve stability if you were to increase the thickness of the acrylic chalks that hold up the blaster, as the Elite Edition ones look to be about twice as thick as the ones that are on your prototype. Also, for the rear trigger guard spaced chalk, the Denix is quite narrow, much more so than the real deal, or even an MGC, so that chalk should also be approximated to roughly fit any of them.
And I get mount #1. :devil

Re: Han Solo DL-44 blaster acrylic stand
I said I was going to start production today..but I want to be 100% certain it fits right, so Im going to send a mock-up out to make sure..right now Im only 99% sure it'll fit..Im sure you guys would rather me be 100% certain right?
...by the way..while Im at it..was thinking of ordering one of DoopyDoos E-11 kits...its been on my watch list for sometime cause Ive been wanting one..but maybe if anyone would want a stand for it ,it might persuade me to pull the trigger (no pun intended) and buy one

FYI: If your final design does indeed include the lanyard support piece, I would still be interested in buying a that piece for my MR stand.
