Limited Run DL44 ANH Version Blaster Kit

[JDiamond]

Worked on it with member TCSloan. He has them for sale on his website www.tshobbies.com

Me too, I bought two of them so far and have another two on the way for my two Leia blasters with custom writing.
He does good work.

Firstly, I gently scuffed all the parts with 0000 Steel Wool to promote better adhesion of paint. All parts were then washed in soapy water.
Before paint, all parts were handled exclusively with gloves and given a brief acetone bath.
For the crossbar and knobs, I used an acrylic paint that when cured, held nicely but still able to weather using a scotchbrite pad.
The scope and scope mount were painted using Cerakote, which is the main reason for the gloves, extra cleaning and acetone bath; the product is exceptionally smooth and durable but won't stick to a surface that has any kind of contamination.
The bull barrel was painted with a lacquer paint.
The flash hider went through a multi stage process; scuffing helped the paint stick and I used transparent blue-gray and some weathering paste for the look I achieved.

I don't believe there is any one way to paint these; it's your blaster and will be unique to you in many ways.
The point is to have fun and enjoy the finished product.

Excellent info.

Thanks so much.

Pray for teaching job.

I would actually like the MR ESB Luke and this full kit.

This is my Blaster from DEC's 2nd run. It's a real nice kit. Of course I had to put sound in it as well.

There is another run scheduled, the pre sale starts in about a week, delivery is mid January

Guessing this won't be for a steel version

Yep, same question, are there any steel parts on the horizon?

 

[Dann]

Here's mine, built up from 2nd run parts. Mixture of steel and aluminum.

I may do a little tweaking to make the bull barrel sit about 1/8" further back.

Go back to my last post and click on the picture. You should then be able to cycle through all the blaster pics that I took and there are a couple of different shots of the stand. Basically its mirrored acrylic resting a slightly larger black acrylic.

Would it be possible for me to get a kit minus the flash hider/barrel? I saw you mentioned that parts could be bought separately in an earlier post. If so what would the price be? Thanks

Thanks

Sorry, there are no parts swapping/removal for the stock kits, the only separate parts available are the one listed.

I think there is someone else making that, I don't want to step on anybody's toes and run the same thing.

separate items will include:
- steel flash hider/barrel
- scope/mount assemblies
- detail knob that will fit all kits

Right. And the scope and mount pair are available separate as well as the knob. So I was asking about the availability of those two sets/groupings.

On the prepped Denix or Denix in general. As I understand it the hammer and trigger work. Does the slide, rear sight, and safety work as well????

Thanks

[UnitPD]

I just tried to order. Site said out of stock. is there any more available or am I out of luck?

 

[Bradleyfett]

Can't wait to complete my blaster!!

 

[JUSTINIAN]

I just tried to order too, and it's out of stock. Any chance to still get in on this run?

 

[Bradleyfett]

I have a feeling the demand for these will only increase in the next few months.
