Let's rewind back to early April 2024 - i stumbled upon a news article featuring Hotel Finse 1222 and their role in hosting Hoth Strikes Back
( Hoth Strikes Back — Hotel Finse 1222)
An yearly event taking place in february. There was photos of some of the props they bring out and display, and a collection of bts photos of the shoot that took place in March 1979.
I did however notice that there was no DL44 in thoose photos, s o i contacted the hotel, and asked them wheter they were interested in an authentic prop replica of the blaster. They gladly accepted, so i contacted chubsANDdoggers and asked if he was interested in donating a blaster to Finse 1222, and he did
A few weeks later i picked it up, packed it out, painted and weathered it.
And then, a few days later i went off to Finse 1222 by train.
The blaster painted and finished, a few days before departure.
This picture was taken by one of the attendees during the Hoth Strikes Back event
And a quote:
"Several people got a picture with it."
Thanks to chubsANDdoggers for donating the blaster to Finse 1222
