The show your custom BLASTER thread!

[Jhowe1997]

“BlasTech A-120 Blaster Pistol” - I’ve finally gotten around to building my own blaster! Inspired by the side arms seen in the Razor Crest in episode 1 of The Mandalorian, using a Denix replica Luger P-08, the same style of pistol which was used in Rogue One for Jyn Erso’s blaster. I dived into my big box of greeblies, fishing out all kinds of parts that would suit a blaster. Initially I wanted to go for something with more of a longer barrel to resemble those of Din and Jyn’s blasters, but ended up going for more of a stubbier barrel, built up of a Quarz 5 camera focus ring, t-track strips, and the internals of a vintage Canon flash battery case. The end of the barrel is built up of the internals of a vintage camera flash bulb socket and round heat sink, which I’ve painted to resemble a heat scorching. Other parts across the blaster include metal plates and screws from vintage cameras. The grips were sanded and painted, before lightly weathered. I just kept adding and taking away parts until I was happy with the end result. Also made a custom aluminium stand for it to sit on in my collection.

There’s a tone of really awesome builds and ideas in this thread! Love it!

Not technically started off as a blaster but it could be....

I really do like toner cartridges from printers as they have some really useful shapes...

 

[ID10T]

We go through a lot of toner cartridges around here... I'm going to save the next one!

Saw a few others in this thread use a Binatone TV Lightgun as a base for their blasters, thought they were really cool, so I wanted to give it a go. Here's my latest build!

Old pellet guns make a cool base for SW style blasters.

And old Air Tools for retro ray-guns

Working on a new one. Started with a Nintendo Zapper and my junk box. I’m not sure what’s going to happen in the front, and I’m working on adapting a trigger guard from a long-dead airsoft gun, but we’ll see.

I’m not sure what’s going to happen in the front,

It says "put a Lyman-Cutts shotgun compensator on me!" to me.

I was at Home Depot today, and thought the replacement burner tube for a gas grill would be a perfect barrel blank...

 

[HMSwolfe]

I found an old flashlight that, after some difficult modification, worked for the barrel. (All I’ve got are a few hand tools and an old rotary tool, and the metal flashlight body heated up considerably when I took the dremel to it).

I sprayed it with some primer while I try to find my spot putty.

I also might not go with the trigger guard because I’m having a hard time getting it to work with the Zapper body.

 

[Shinchu]

Flashlight was a bright idea!

*grin*

Really it works great, love some good knurling on just about anything.

Finally finished my nerf!
Not bad for "let's see what I can do on my first attempt..."!
*oh yeah, can you tell I like old flashlights too??

Ive been putting together a custom Mandalorian costume and obviously needed a rifle and side arm to complete the look.

This was a toy from Goodwill. I need to do more modeling/greebling to get away from the obvious MP5 look but this was mostly a practice piece for my new (and first!) airbrush. Going for one of the weird DH-17s that are popping up in Rogue One/Solo in the hands of Saw’s Militia, and the Cloud Riders.
