hey guys....I'm a newbie as far as making my own props (in metal form) and I'm sure there is a wealth of knowledge out there about every frackin detail about various versions of every Storm trooper blaster made for episode V and IV. I've been wanting one for years and while the MR blaster is nice i'd rather go the real route like the prop guys from ILM. i am working on getting a de-commissoned one so any help from "you guys" about converting a real sterling to a blaster would be great. Also which model of the Sterling was used...Mark IV? I have tons of Star wars original stills but not too many detailed ones of close-up of the blaster (other than the pix in the FROM STAR WARS TO INDIANA JONES -THE BEST OF LUCASFILM ARCHIVES) which has one photo but no details from which film it is from. I only want a blaster from Star Wars or ESB and NOT Jedi. after 27 years i can still go on rants about Ewoks and how un-dignified Boba Fetts death was...but thats a another thread. Any refferance pix would be of great help.
