Re: What's on your workbench?
right now working on some (non-canon) body armor for my Cobra blue suit, and trying to add some"zazz" to an MP-5 airsoft rifle. never done armor before, but since it is officially un-official i was able to take inspiration from the mass effect N-7 builds. those are all so amazing!

Re: What's on your workbench?
Mini update. I almost finished the butt plate for my Endor rifle. It's 1/8" aluminum and I used a cutoff wheel in my Dremel (my big cutoff wheel/miter saw just melted it) and a bench grinder. It still needs a little sanding and I have to drill the holes in it. I'm not sure how the original was secured, but the version that used the Jackal part was screwed on. So I'm going to use a countersink drill and a couple of countersink screws to hold it on.
The flash washed this out, but you can see the shape.

Sorry...I don't. I actually have just finished new opening & closing ratchet sounds and scanning sounds for this style Tricorder and will be building a new one shortly. It definitely will be unique!

In best Rolf Voice 'Can you tell what it is yet?'
Another clue.................

Damn, how do I get images to appear in post????????????

Re: What's on your workbench?
New to the RPF. Been working on a Han Solo ANH Hero blaster built on a Denix frame. I have heavily modified the Denix to match the contours of the real prop more precisely. I hope to post all the working pics and details as soon as I figure out how to insert them.

Re: What's on your workbench?
Endor rifle butt plate finished. These were obviously made for looks and not function because you couldn't comfortably aim this thing with your eye to the scope.
This version could have been welded on or something, I just attached it how the Jackal butt plate was attached.
