Dopplegangers, M2019's, Marco, Coyles Oh MY!

[Jedirick]

I've been promising to post images of my BR blasters. here are a few quickies. I think there are 2 dozen shown here . I have several more in various stages of construction and several not shown that require repair.

Many I obtained from members here over the years. Plus RACProps, Doppleganger etc.Others from ebay and cons- older garage kits mostly.

I love the customs and in particular the Dopplegangers.

Sorry for image appearance. I used a Sony Digital that is specifically for taking poster sized images.

and here is a bust display I've started with some odds and ends

I plan to individually photograph each blaster close up with a camera more suited for such work and send images to Andy for his PKD research.

Thank you for "all" the comments? :lol

The resin Deckard bust dates back to around '94 or '95. It's dated on the side and has name of maker but since it's at the office I'll have to get back to you. I am sure a number of members here are familiar with it. I have had it for a number of years and just recently prepped it for painting. My production partner did the paint job. We had discussed doing it life like and just decided that it called for a bust look. I didn't want traditional bronze so we went with a copper and dry brushing. The image is of poor quality so much of that is lost. It's a great piece.

As for blasters Coyle has to be the most accurate, I am sure i have at least 3 versions.. Dopplegangers are a fantastic interpretation and I love his metal build ups. The snubs and magnums especially. Hopefully he will consider doing a metal buildup run.

As for IDing origin of each....that is why I am going to do detailed pics. I figure between here and Propsummit all should be able to be identified and there are a couple mystery blasters there. Going to let Andy sweat that labor of love.

Oh. the Weyland is our conference table at the production office. Really the room is multi-purpose including sound and rendering equipment, portfolio displays of partner's work, my top collectibles, and frathouse amenities - beer, big screen etc. A workroom at the back has a paint booth, straight and SPFX make-up area and a couple workbenches with most any tool or supply desired by hobbiests or prop builders. We are located nextdoor to Screen Gems Studios in a 75,000 sq ft structure full of bays, offices, and loading docks. We are able to quickly expand our operation by leasing addition space for casting, green screen work, staging or any other production need by day, week or month. Works great for low budget as we can expand and contract quickly, keeping costs at a minimum. If we need larger sound stages etc. Screen Gems is 100 yards away.

That bust is one I use to have, life size, amazing detail. I have only seen a couple that were actually painted to look like a living Harrison Ford, the rest were so-so. Bronze? Never thought of that. Very cool idea.

 

[rmschneider104]

Wow. Just wow. There is no doubt that you love that blaster. Amazing. Thanks for sharing the pics.

 

[Mola Rob]

I only have 2 blasters...but I have a snub kit on the way. Seriously nice collection. Any story behind the one with the blue grips?

 

[Stomper]

I'd say SOMEONE has a "slight" fetish.
