Hi ReJ
Your questions seems a bit unspecific...
If you want it movie accurate, do NOT deviate and use all the parts the prop dept. used as well, if possible.
If you just want to build "a" blaster, based on the design you chose, feel free to incorporate whatever changes you want/ need to make the build happen.
Are you trying to make it part of a costume and go for approval? What are the regulations of the specific group you´re trying to join?...

Hi Markus.
I was going to try to make it movie accurate.
But not for any official costume.Will be a wall hanger.
I like the look of it,but honestly,I will add an optic to it.
but try to make it look like it would be from the Star Wars universe.
I had posted from work and didn't add the pics of how far I got.
I plan on making the barrel and side fittings on a lathe at work,when the chance allows.

My take on it has always been that the rebels would have had a certain flexibility in their kit - after all, it was cobbled together. There are a couple of versions of the A280s that are canon, but who's to say that individual commandos would not have modified their weapons as they saw fit?
Hi,and thanks.
I used a Airsoft M4 upper and lower reciever.
I could have used the 3D printed greeblies that a member here has for sale (sorry can't think of His name) through ?shapeways? I think?
yes I based it on the photos from the movie.
I blew up the pics till they were as close as I could to size of the M4.
then best guessed how big to make it.
only made one so far from 304 SST,took me a few hours.
LOL
Going to make 4 more so I'll have an extra one for in case I make a mistake on the mill.
I wish I could have used an 80% reciever instead of the plastic one.
Have fun with your build.
I know these are made from real world fittings,but try as I could.
couldnt find them.
