Done / Completed Rey's Blaster (SW: Force Awakens) - Image of kit added, run open!

Re: Rey's Blaster (SW: Force Awakens) - 4 options available, including stand!

The resin kit is cast from a mold. Sorry, I've updated the list!

- - - Updated - - -

Quick update - had a con this weekend and been dealing with some job issues. The updated grip is almost done!
Thanks! AND in that case...I think the resin kit would be more to my liking...PM incoming

Whew! While working on the handle, I found some more details that needed to be corrected. Cleaning up the model and with any luck will be printing the master up this week!

I'm very interested in a resin set once the final version is complete. What the total weight when all put together?

That won't be known until the master is finished, molded, and the first cast is pulled

I am interested in the premium/chromed version. Will be watching for pics when that version is ready!

Deposit Sent for the Premium Blaster and Stand.
Thanks,

Okay folks, time for another update.

- The delay is a result of my original partner having to bow out due to new job responsibilities. Fortunately, I've brought on Kevin Gossett as a new partner. He'll be providing the finishing work on the completed guns. Unfortunately, the stand option may be off the table. If you've put a deposit down for a stand, I will apply this towards the remaining balance on the gun.
- As I mentioned before, after going back and looking at the model, I found a few more tweaks that needed to be made to the model to make it more accurate. I've posted an image of the new model on the front and, as of now, I believe it is ready to go. Printing has begun! With any luck, molding and casting will begin late next week, early next week.
- We've had to outsource the grips on the premium model due to the partner change. For those of you who have put deposits down, I'm going to honor the original price listed, but future orders will see a bump in price of $25. I've taken on the responsibility of electroplating as well, so this will result in a delay in the premium models as well. I expect to be able to start this process in 3 weeks.

Any new news?

The heat resistor blew on my printer late last week while printing up the final pieces. I got the part in today and the printer is back up and running and printing as I type this. Assuming there are no more delays, I'm hoping to be asking for final payments next week. I have my fingers crossed there are no more delays.

Everything going better with the printer? :)

Printer has been repaired, tweaked and is up and running. Here's where we stand:
- A few parts are ready for molding already. I haven't molded them yet because I want to make sure everything goes together smoothly for those buying kits before putting them to silicone.
- I've outsourced the dial on the safety to an SLA printer so that it can capture all the detail, should be receiving it this week.
- I've tweaked the model on my end for printing so that I can get the cleanest detail, and I've done a couple of reprints of parts.
- The last of the reprints should be done today.

Almost there guys, thanks again. :)

Hi, can you add me to your list for a cleaned resin version? Thanks!
 
Re: Rey's Blaster (SW: Force Awakens) - 4 options available!

Hello again! Going to post weekly to keep you guys up to date. Here's an image of the finished. ready to cast pieces.

20160401_140229.jpg

This is the handle, the two side panels for the handle, the safety, the upper barrel, lower barrel and the front piece that holds the two barrels. All other pieces are printed and I'm working through them prepping to cast. Next week I am on sort of a vacation from work and intend to get the final pieces prepped and ready for casting.

So are we looking at weeks more or what? I joined in initially seeing your eta of weeks ago...and here we are in April. I realize you've had setbacks but it's getting to be much further away from the initial estimated delivery.

Sorry! Somehow wasn't notified of this post. I am working the best I can to get this run going. I am sorry that it is behind schedule, but I assure it will happen. As I stated above I am hoping to start casting this week and I'm working on bringing in additional help.
 
Re: Rey's Blaster (SW: Force Awakens) - 4 options available!

Happy to announce that I started molding parts today! I will continue molding parts through the weekend and next week. With any luck I will be ready to go by the end of next week! Thanks again for hanging in there.
