Me too, I wasn't sure at first with it missing the viewfinder, but now I'm at the, "I love and need this," phase.
i like the raw metal color

That's a fantastic project. I've just watch a video about the original gun and its use in The Mandalorian (Forgotten Weapons Channel on YouTube). The difference in the bottom of the handgrip was highlighted.
The scanner used on the bounties as they're being unloaded in the first episode seems to be the good old Black + Decker TLD100 Thermal Leak Detector (infrared thermometer). It's popped up on The Orville in a similar role as well.
Great thread so far. Loving this show.
I've made a start on the ingot and pistol. For the ingot, I'm trying a few different avenues and will be casting in aluminum once I'm happy with it. (Currently talking with a foundry.) I used a method similar to photoscanning to transfer details from the screen prop directly, much as I've done before on Marvel props... just tinkering with how much relief to give it. (Filling in with a wash, then several layers of clear to get a smooth finish is one way to do it.)
I thought about dipping it, since I've done a bit of that before, but even with a custom pattern it would be hard to get a consistently identical pattern over several copies because once the pattern film dissolves it starts to expand in the water, and the lines on the ingot are very sharp and thin. Laser engraving is an option, but costly. Also tinkering with a few ideas are stencils and decals.

The Mandalorian Speeder Driver Goggles (Bert from The Big Bang Theory) Identified
These Googles jumped straight out at me when I was watching episode 1 as Roy roygilsing had asked me last week to do some unrelated goggle hunting for a project he was working on... talk about timing lol!!
WW1 German Flying Goggles
These Goggles were issued by the flying school at Döberitz.
The military training Doeberitz, also known as Army School Döberitz or Infantry School Döberitz from 1910 also Fliegerschule Döberitz Royal Prussian Flying Corps, was an important military training ground in Dallgow in Berlin and one of the largest of its kind.
It served to troops training of the army, to Unteroffiziers and officer training and the training of pilots and the testing of new aircraft.

Thanks Ian for searching and for the interesting find! Beautiful coincidence! And thanks for the history lesson! [emoji1]

If anyone needs a good start on a blaster, I worked up a model in fusion over the last few weeks here: Pulse Blaster Model

Jumped on the Beskar train myself. Here is a quick test print. I ran into some issues with warping and shifting but gave it a test paint up anyways.
I have since completely redone the model with a few different textures and a more accurate stamp. Will be printing these out soon, hopefully with less layer issues!
Paint was matte black primer, graphite rub, and Tamiya Chrome silver drybrushed on top.

These definitly all come form the same mold. You can see a couple little blobs to the bottom right of the Empire symbol that look kind of like stamp overflow, and its exactly the same on each one in the group shot. They also all appear to have identical surface warping, based on how the light is hitting each one.

the pics you are working from for that are mirrored (a lot of the ones on a google search are and match your pic). The side rod (which is a cleaning rod on the original Bergman No.1) is on the other (left) side of the gun. Have a look at the Forgotten Weapons video Ian did on the No.1. It shows alot of detail of the base gun and how it goes together.

The Mandalorian Armor and Weapons Explained: What Is a Whistling Bird?
Bounty hunting may be a complicated profession, but wrist-rockets, flamethrowers, Whistling Birds, and custom armor help The Mandalorian get the job done.

Has anyone identified the receiver or trigger guard
on the rifle?
