I just got back from shop run.
I delivered the Mausers to them and picked up the scopes and a bunch of extra parts
THE SCOPES LOOK AMAZING

I will get everything sorted out and start the shipping process for applicable kits this weekend.
I also had the shop make steel disks to replicate the idealized look of the details on the left and right side of the pistons. These are $4 a set and if you want a set I will add them to the finally invoice when I am ready to ship your kit.
Hear are images of Alberto’s MGC based Blaster to give everyone an idea of what they look like

I also have a TON of extra parts. I didn’t want to stick the shop with these so I got them while I was there.
I need to sell these parts to recoup the money I spent to cover them, so if you want any of the following parts read the appropriate threads and send me the requested info via email.

- $72 – Resin M-19 *BRASS* Scope Upgrade Parts Set - Light Socket (Notched or Full Ring), Front Lens Ring, Rear Lens Ring, Scope Mounting Bolts & Clear Lens Set

The concept behind the Resin M-19 *BRASS* Scope Upgrade Parts Set is that you drill the resin scope body to accept the glass lenses and brass parts.
This may sound complicated but I am going to offer this service for an undetermined cost.
I’m sure I can do the labor for less the $25 so for less then $100 you can have a super nice Resin Scope.
I also plan to contact Vince and see if he can cast me some scopes in black resin which I will offer “as is” or modified with the upgrade kit.

Thanks
If there is enough interest I might do a run after the ROTJ Project.
Do any of you who have completed their ESB using an MGC have any input on what to do with the barrel? Unlike the Denix, the MGC has a metal rod inside the barrel. I have no problem cutting the barrel to size but I don't want the rod in there if I can help it. I like the look of the hollow barrel. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!
Check the ESB blaster thread proper. There are closer shots and detailed descriptions of the Hoth Blaster as it is today.
I'd also like to say the Hero Bespin blaster was the first blaster that I noticed in Star Wars....probably because Han pulled a gun on Vader like it was nothingMy 8 year old self is connecting with my 24 year old self, and im so excited that this is happening!
Hey guys, found another weird photo of the Hoth Blaster and there is something really strange going on with that scope mount!? Has this pic already been posted?
