How did those of you that have made this blaster before do the details? Dremel tool? Drill press? I'm getting to that point and wondered the easiest way to get the details done. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

I cheated by first sanding off the logo, then cutting the holes in a very thin sheet of styrene and gluing it on (and puttying the edges).
I thought they were used for the scope mount from the "other" movie?
I used a mill to replicate those left side details on my Denix. In fact, I'll be milling these details on a friend's Denix this week.
I haven't run into any trouble so far. 4 of the indentations were 1/4" diameter and the other two were 3/8" diameter.
If any one needs machining done on their Denix or other mauser, just let me know.
BTW: Why and how in the in the world were they able to create these details back in the 80´s? Did these holes have any special purpose, before the MGC was converted into Han´s blaster(s)?...any ideas?

^ I considered that approach...not sure why I didn't try it.
Probably because if you added any thickness to the interior of either brand of Broomhandle, there'd be obstruction of the workings of the frame block (MGC, Mauser C96) or the lever thingy inside the Denix version.
