What’s on Your Workbench? (Star Wars items only)

reminds me of the lightsaber rifle that appeared in the comic, Darth Vader 09 (2017).

It’s a flash pistol grip?! Wicked, I absolutely love it. Using the Heiland bulb release as a front sight is really clever.

I would vote for trying a stock, it’s a very forward heavy blaster

Yes, a flash pistol grip...i couldn't believe it when i found it...i can't even find anything on it anywhere. The scope is a very rare vintage flash with a mini style graflex clamp...never seen one of those either...The bulb insert is heavy brass too, which all the other ones i have feel cheap...i sanded it and chemically darkened it to make it like a barrel choke.
 
It looks amazing. Like it came right out of the OT. Personally I would go for a stock. I agree with the sentiment that it's forward heavy and it would help balance it out.

Thank You. Finding the right (connector/bridge) to meet the stock would be the toughest part unless i had one machined specifically for it...mainly because i do not want to tamper at all with those rare vintage parts. I'm a vintage parts nut and have never seen these parts in the wild and can't find a single bit of info on them ...besides the vintage Graflex clamp and Heiland, the scope and flash pistol were found amidst vintage part lots. I wish i had some history on them but unfortunately i do not.
 
That makes sense. If you don't want to modify the vintage parts drastically, I wouldn't blame you.
I mean...if it was guaranteed to make it into a movie or show that was, you know, directed by a certain man named George Lucas then i, most likely, would make an exception...lol

edit: except the Holiday special...that's off limits and NO DEAL!! lol
 
I pictured this as a badass sidearm. Hanging from a low rig ala Wild West style. That's why I say no stock. Then it's just a cool variant of a Boba type weapon, but seeing this on someone's low ride holster, damn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (y) :love:
 
This was still under construction last Wednesday. After remaking it three times once in metal then PVC and finally back to metal.
I had a dead line for last weekends Con and pulled a couple of late nights to make a costume that didnt exist the week before bar a few metal chest plates i had templated last month.

There are things I skimped on due to time constrains but knew my kids had there costumes sorted so had to get my jig on..
I bought a cheap bucket then added metal stalk and a motion activated range finder then drilled sanded vents filled in seams etc.

Oh and this crept onto my bench yesterday..
Some of the parts are place holders, I might go Full metal jacket ?

I traced the templates and have to add the section connecting the stock to the wood handle but im going to check OG measurements as it seems wildly large for my liking ATM..
