Kurtyboy's project updates: 24 July - More blasters

[kurtyboy]

Oh, you charmer, Halliwax.

Some Vader stunt saber p@rn for you thd9791! I count six, so there are two more WIPs to come.

The fat foam "Pipe".

DV6:

Nice balls!

Kurtziboy!

ANH Luke/Vader shared stunt (was my old motorised effort, now decommissioned):

Barbi:

Now with added brass cheesehead screws in the "electrical block" that I had missed before:

Bunny:

"NNNNOOoooooooooo......!"

Emitter line up (battery ran out before I could do the rest):

that's awesome! love those stunts

And something else I have been working on. Big thanks to The Ninja, and of course OdiWan72 for their input.

Sorry the picture is a bit blurry, it was from a few days ago.

Awesome!
Do we have definitive clear pictures that the cable is braided cable like so? I personally hesitate between that and transparent tube. But I love that braided cable though

 

[kurtyboy]

I love this thing. After seeing Zombie Killer's one, I had to have one.

The triangular decal on the right side is impossible to make out in the movies but it reminded of this one in ANH, so that's what I used. I only spotted this symbol in ANH the last time I watched it in 4K. Funny how you can watch a movie literally hundreds of times over a period of over 40 years, and not spot somthing.

I just turned it upside down to better resemble the symbol on the flash.

RS Snowtrooper I assembled and weathered from a kit that SiMan was gracious to give me for helping him out with a few things.

How did you secure the Plessey plug to the Graflex clamp?

 

[kurtyboy]

A little printed adapter that replaces the bakelite and pins of the male connector and slides into the clamp rails. Not screen accurate, but functional and hidden.

It's plastic so won't stand up to much pressure. Could really do with a metal one.

I've been saving a Graflite for this build. Great job! Love how sharp it turned out.

 

[kurtyboy]

Did some more work on my Jawa Graflite powerpack. Modified watchman's clock case somewhat but I still need to replace the mesh with one that has six bars instead of four.

And while on the subject of Jawa weapons...

 

[eethan]

Please tell me this is a replica! finding a super accurate powder flask is my holy grail!

 

[kurtyboy]

I will tell you no such thing!

[RoCKo]

What? Where? When? How?
you never cease to amaze us.... GORGEOUS!

 

[Dann]

Hey Marcus, is all the custom mannequin building stuff in this thread, or another one? I desperately need to do something with my mannequin, for my trooper. I still haven't finished the armor, but the mannequin's pose just STINKS!

Hahahaha, see?

Gee buddy I hope all is ok, sad to hear you are selling your collection.

 

[dcarty]

This is shocking to say the least -- to echo The Ninja, hope everything is OK.
