Re: Working on some more props: 15 Jan - ESB blaster progress
I put the scope rings on the wrong way round, obviously didn't look close enough at the reference photos - check the pics above and compare to mine. Unfortunately it's not just s simple case of taking them off and turning them round and they were a nightmare to get on in the first place. They aren't actually functional, the STGW44 scope rails are too narrow for the clamps. You can even see on the originals they didn't use the clamping plate, knob or threaded rod, rather they must be screwed down from above.

Did you damage something on your blasters above?

I didn't! But I'm thinking of just putting two long countersunk screws through the extension piece from the front.

Got the Bossk blaster weathered. Still need to finish the shoulder stock and find a suitable swivel ring. And add the second real M38 of course.
Weathering techinique learned from the Blaster Master!

Got it attached now. Two long wood screws between extension block and shoulder stock and two between extension block and STGW44 rear.
Also, just had these made by Marcel Prag from a pair of the almost correct original boots and white leather.

Re: Working on some more props: 6 Feb - Working on various things
Working on a new Luke ANH belt now that the original has resurfaced after all these years!
Also working on a Biker Scout so got a blaster kit. Kit was a very poor casting that is requiring a lot of work. Also toying with the idea of using a real singlepoing but it would mean either cutting off part of the central 'ball' or making a large hole in the casting for it to fit into.
Calico sling is done.
Ended up taking 3" off the new mannequins.
