Limited Run RUN CLOSED * DL-44 ESB Blaster Machined Parts Set * RUN CLOSED

I remember when selling via eBay, any sales price exceeding $250 through PayPal required a signature confirmation. Though I just saw that the sales price increased from $250 to $750.
 
OK guys, why are there two holes in one of the Bespin blasters? Were there pistons screwed on at one point? Also looks like a faint line around them. Paint? glue residue?

Look at the flash hider.

It looks like the Hot Version.

This could be a stripped down version of the Hand Hoth Blaster or it could have preceded it and they decided to attach the piston unit and 4 screws to hid what was there.
 
Were the Hoth scenes filmed before of after Bespin?
If Bespin was first, it could indeed be the predecessor of Hans HOTH blaster.

If Hoth was filmed first, it could be a stripped down Han blaster.

When was the picture of Hans Hoth blaster taken, that we used to create the drawings for the mount???

Questions, questions...good eye Marcus!
 
My theory was that the greeblies WERE on there but came off due to holstering.
the hoth his never drawn on screen so didn't need to be holstered and drawn. Both bespins were numerous times, which makes them unable to go into holsters with the greeblies on. So they either broke off or were removed for practicality.


Also the real Mausers had to allow at least a couple of blank rounds so I'm thinking glued.

Thats NOT the hoth on cloud city.


according to the making of book, all the Norway stuff was first.
 
Weird. The two holes seem to match the positions of the two hex nuts (screws or machined cylinder(s) if that's your preference) either side of the pistons, but the outline around the area is way bigger than the pistons if it is glue residue.

No holes best I can see... just some glue residue

Here... I forgot I had this one... You can totally see the discoloration that you're seeing on screen. Probably not even any relief of residue, just an artifact in the bluing from where a greeblie was glued on.

The Bespin bracket looks really short in this photo. Maybe it's just mounted too high up on the side of the magazine?

I knew something was off - thank you! Yes - it's mounted too high in the pic. I've already fixed it:
