DT-12 Greedo Blaster Build

[Mara Jade's Father]

Missing square greeblie scar?

if you’re look at this photo, you will see a grayish squarish section on the side...

It’s been speculated that section might be glue or tape from where a greeble was once attached.

I tend to think it just whatever greeble that is attached giving off that reflection. Here is a shot of the side of the pistol from the set in pinewood studios.

Too me it looks as if there is a greeble there. Just can’t make out the details.

I think most of us have just decided that it's another pontoon part from the Tomtitt kit.

And honestly, when I look at that second shot from over Greedo's shoulder, I feel like I can see the pontoons. Or rather, light reflecting/bouncing off the rounded ends of them that point towards us.

Looking great guys

Well I epoxied some stuff tonight

I'm a fan of flat, satin, and gloss blacks together to give contrast to a prop. A blaster in hand is much different than a quick on screen 5-15 second blip in the movie! I need to forestner the other grip and I think this will be close to being complete!

 

[Halliwax]

I love the different blacks you used as well, gives it great depth

 

[sbeall]

That looks great! Well done!

 

[TatooineMachine]

Thanks all for the comments. I hope to finish the other grip and epoxy the last few parts on in the next day or so. This was a fun build, I like building blasters!

Wife is having some people over so I had to finish this and clean up! Lightly weathered it, I'm happy!

Thanks for the help and nice comments along the way!

How bad could your wife's guests be that you needed this ready for them? Do they owe Jabba money?

I agree about the variations in blacks. GREAT job!
