Jawa blaster power pack

[protocol66]

Hi, i am working on building a Jawa blaster from an Enfield 303, i am missing some information on the power pack. from what i know it's a 18th powder flask , is it made out of bone, wood or leather? any source on finding one? Thanks

It´s made from (goat-) horn with brass detailing and a leather sling

hey, they are indeed old carved horns and they are really cool old items
here is a sample of the flasks that I had in hand, still looking for one that will be extremely close to the screen used one:

your best bet at finding one is a lot of patience and browsing dayly through ebay, local second hand websites...
good luck

If you were considering scratch building then pet stores sometimes carry horn as animal feed/chews

This one is mine.
I really should start work on it. I'll move it up my project list

did you attempt a scratch built?

No, sorry this isn’t something that’s been on my radar, I just like to keep a mental note when I see something that I think could be useful, when I was picking up stuff for my cat I notice they had large horns and antlers for sale, I was thinking the may make nice knife scales or be good for carving.

no sorry, someone already managed to make me sell one last week, that will be it
cheers

Mine is from a 300 year old horn.

They made you? haha
Your collection of them is impressive. I feel like I got super lucky to find what I did.

I'd loose that rope.

I am in the same boat as the original poster, looking to find one of these antique 18th powder flask (aka goat horn). Anyone know of any leads on one or willing to sell/trade… please PM me, thanks!

I made a simple 3d printed one for my upcoming blaster build thread. I’d be happy to share the stl with anyone.

Sure, I would love to grab the file and any recommendations you have for tricking it out with components. Thanks!

Here is what I put together. It is a remix of a file I found on Thingiverse that I split and adapted to my needs. Feel free to share.

You will notice that I have a wire coming out the bottom. This will be wired to a prop controller and light up the blaster as part of my Halloween display.

Black Powder Flask this is the closest I have found to the ANH Jawa Blaster prop.
