Plastic Airsoft Mauser conversion to a Han Solo DL-44 TESB blaster

[Khalel]

Hello, people!
This is my first post here (in fact, I've just joined the forum today!)
My name is Jose, I'm from Argentina and I'm a huge Star Wars fan.
Years ago, I bought a plastic Airsoft Mauser, so I started to modify it to make it a Han Solo DL-44 blaster, especifically the TESB version (my favourite).
At first, it was all plastic, as you can see here:

Until I became friend of a guy who made me this:

an aluminum-machined flash supressor. The blaster became to look pretty cool with it:

Then I had to add details to the Mauser, because it lacks of them. I used plastic sheets:

Then I removed the fake selector switch, and fill the hole with plastic:

Once again, sheet of plastic for details:

Long story short: I bought an aluminum-machined "piston halves", and another friend filled, sanded, primed and painted the whole blaster:

You can see the whole album here:

You might want to upgrade to real wooden grips, I own both an Airsoft C96 and a working c96 (a real firearm) and the grips exchange perfectly as they are exactly the same size. Here is an image of some of my airsoft guns next to some real firearms of mine. http://vonmeer.deviantart.com/art/WWII-GERMAN-GUNS-MP40-157664353

Here's a link to a pair of wood Mauser 96 grips for $20.00. Didi;t check to see if he'd ship them to Sur America, but someone will!
