Limited Run Han Solo ROTJ Blaster Active Project

[Jedifather]

I've received my kit. I think this one is even better than the last(which was fantastic). I like the color of the anodizing, it's more grey-ish than solid black like
last run. By the looks, you'd swear it was all steel. It's a shame to have to paint over it.

 

[Boba Debt]

I'm glad you like your parts

I do like the color of the anodizing

 

[Reel Fakes]

Indeed - I only got a scope (for my ROTJ E-11) and I was very impressed with the finish. It really does look like blued steel!

Hey David, just checking to see when you would be able to ship my scope out, and if you have everything you need from me. Thanks!

I'm waiting on my second batch of resin scope tip inserts that Vince is making.

You indicated that you wanted the part so it's all packed up except for that.

 

[jhusel]

Awesome! Thanks so much

So as we are getting near the end of the project i was wondering how many of you would like to order custom plaques for our blasters. I have been in touch with Rpf Member Feezle-nuts ( Our resident Plague expert) and he has come up with a simple design for us (which i will attach to the bottom) I like the simple design and it tells anyone that looks at it what it is. Let me know what everyone thinks and we can make changes. also think about what size you might want. I was thinking a size up from the master replicas standard size.

I think this would be a nice touch to our project.

THANKS OBI

 

[Feezle-Nuts]

Just to note, that was a quick mockup. The actual plaque wouldn't be pixelated.

 

[Curmudgeon]

I would love a plaque to go along with the blaster!

Also, could anyone recommend a good (preferably inexpensive) display for a blaster?

 

[Husker75]

If be down for a plaque.. And easily several displays if anyone comes up with a cheap option.

 

[Don93]

A plaque would be cool. Could it be the same size as a standard MR plaque? Stands for that size plaque are easy to find.

 

[Boba Debt]

Instead of "60 Made" I would go with "1 of 60"

 

[OBI WAN KEN0B1]

Instead of "60 Made" I would go with "1 of 60"

Good idea

Better would be to send a plaque to everyone in the list making it a real limited, so would be "Boba Debt Limited Edition NR. xx/60 in order of list appearance!
I would be in for the plaques but the one Freezy did for the blaster already, two plaques set with Han's image on the second one would be even better!! Keeping the Boba Debt L.E. progressive number of course!

I like that idea as well but the logistics of it would be a pain in the ass.

 

[Boba Debt]

The only problem with that is you would need everyone to be in on this.

I don't normally offer plaques because my runs aren't really limited but in the future I guess I should have it as an option.

You could also mention that this was the 2014 Active Project.

 

[Feezle-Nuts]

I can essentially do anything you guys want. The challenge with this one is that we are so far into the run and money has already been sent. This was just mentioned to me yesterday so we are a little late in the game. I would say in the future, if you wanted to do plaques for a run, do one for every piece and just build it into the price. Since it is too late this time, and I think we can all agree that we don't want to give Boba Debt a huge headache, this can be done one of two ways.

-Give people a certain amount of time to post that they want one and send payment to Boba Debt. I'll make them all and send them to him, they can be packaged with the blaster. Not sure when these blasters are being shipped so this may be a time crunch.
-We work out a design and I just make them for whoever contacts me and wants them.

The first option would be cheaper because I wouldn't have to pack and ship them individually. I would be giving a quantity discount. With the second option, I wouldn't be able to give as much of a discount unless you wanted to package it in with some other plaques you may need. That can be discussed on an individual basis.

So if you guys figure out what you want to do, I'm game. Boba Debt would obviously have the ultimate say whether or not he wants to distribute them and over design unless it is decided that everyone will be ordering them on their own.

 

[Feezle-Nuts]

I took some of the suggestions on here and played with them. I wasn't sure how it would fit in MR standard dimensions but I think it looks good. This is by far the most common size I make due to stand availability so it is a good idea.

To me, 1 of 60 almost seems like you got the 1st one in the run. What about 1 of 60 Made?

Also, I almost think it looks a little classier in all black as opposed to the color logo. It doesn't matter to me either way, same price regardless.

What do you guys think? I like the one on the right personally.

 

[starbuc]

I like the one on the right as well.

Just finished my kit, and have to say I love it. I need to shorten the barrel a bit more, but other than that I'm quite pleased (I do need to mill the details eventually, but I'm hoping to score an MGC for that.)
