Rogue One - Jyn Erso BlasTech A180 Blaster Pistol

[E Williams]

Anyone have a good run of metal conversion parts still? I have an MGC P08 I'd like to convert

Fieldmarshall still has conversion parts but they are designed for the WE 6” airsoft that was used in the movie. Maybe they’d still work on an MGC (but isn’t the MGC itself kind of valuable compared against a ~$100 airsoft? And does it have the correct sight at the back?).

Conversion kit:

A180 JYN ERSO BLASTER KIT | eBay

Complete A180 JYN ERSO BLASTER kit. CNC machined aluminum parts and laser cut steel. All screws and mounting hardware included. Trigger rod pre-bent and ready for installing on your 6" Luger air-soft.

Yeah unfortunately the rear sight is incorrect however I don't believe the MGC P08 is especially valuable outside of the A180 is it?

Have you tried Field Marshal: A180 JYN ERSO BLASTER KIT - War Machine Paintball

I did not do a kit build, I bought a finished piece but he does great pieces. Take a look.

For some reason I thought it was, but I was probably confusing it with the way MGC mausers are so valuable. Glancing at eBay it looks like the 4" MGC P08 hovers around the same price as an airsoft WE P08. Also, apparently MGC *did* make a P08 Navy, and that one does seem to be more rare, going for about twice as much.

I'm looking at that now... I'm between the Field Marshal and the cheap kit from Evike because I really like the look of the one Garrett Smith just sold here Star Wars - A180 JYN ERSO BLASTER WITH A VINTAGE MGC P08 LUGER

Also just to verify, Mar Machine Paintball and vmusicstore on ebay are all Field Marshal correct? It's a little confusing lol

Yeah the Mausers are crazy now haha I think I might just convert this MGC then sell it and pick up an airsoft and Field Marshal's kit for my personal one

Yeah that's all Chris. He also has a thread here with his various projects: M19 telescope mhr 1942 build

Love his work! Just ordered a completed A180 off the bay because it was only $29 more and it saves me time lol

I'm just gonna get the Evike conversion for the MGC then post it in the Junkyard once it's done!

The all metal MGC/RMI P-08 is the rare one, I bought mine back in the 1970's and paid $26 for it from RMI in Virginia. The plastic cap fire ones are the plentiful ones. I always cringe when I see MGC replicas turned into Star Wars blasters because for the most part they are worth more money in their original state.

Got my War Machine A180 in yesterday! This thing is fantastically accurate! For any of you that have this one, did yours come with screws for the barrel tip and band? Mine aren’t screwed into anything and I want to secure them before I start weathering it...

 

[Garrett Smith]

You’ll need to epoxy the band to the blade. The tip should have a grub screw

Yeah, I saw the epoxy in FM's build but since there's a hole in both the blade and the band I wasn't sure if it would be best to just use a set screw instead. Also the tip doesn't have any screw.

 

[Dann]

There should be a TINY grub screw for the barrel tip. Maybe it fell out?

I re-tapped mine for M3 and made a custom slotted grub screw for mine.

Just use a little dot of glue on the barrel band. You never know when or if you want to take it back off. The dovetail should fit relatively tight.

Here's mine! Dann's Blaster Projects - E-11 Stormtrooper Blaster!!

Yeah didn’t come with a screw for the tip. I just ordered a tap set and i’m gonna do an M2 or M3 screw in it. I ended up using some two part epoxy on the band!

 

[THEWHATWHATNOW]

I've seen this on a few of the guns. What is that and did Jyn actually have that on her gun?

Yes she did and don't know why. It's probably just a greeble.

OK here's my take on it. I have has this Evike kit sitting around for over a year and decided yesterday to put it together. I know it's not 100% screen accurate, but I already had it so I figured I ought to use it. I tried to add enough details to make it respectable. I almost replaced it with the War Machine kit as a little more screen accurate and easier to pain with the separate pieces, but all in all, I'm pretty happy with it. I think only I and the people who have studied this thread will note the inaccuracies. I had some WWII Bakelite grips I wanted to use instead but they are made for a real Luger so would require some real modification to use. They are not screen-accurate anyway but are more substantial than the plastic grips on this weapon and I feel like production would have gone for them if they had them. Maybe someday I'll figure out if I can make them work.

Using this thread as a little guideline, i tried my own approach on the Blaster Pistol, made a few adjustements that i liked more like rivets instead of screws, but i think i got the overall look just right.

Everything is made out of metal, mostly aluminium, no kit used, base was a P08 from Denix.

 

[Yaan]

Urlag, i like it. The weathering is perfect for me.

How far is the center of the muzzle offset from the center of the airsoft barrel?

On my model it is not. They are centered.
