Um …*you know that's someone's Photoshopped overlay, right?
each time I look at the new blaster I tend to like it a little more...:unsure its growing on me.
I do hope someone does one with the revolver cylinder, that looks extra cool.

so any chance this ever gets reissued? I hated the K blaster at first, but now with better pics, I like much of it
I have a little story to tell and I guess that thread is kind of fine for that.
So, you have to know that I live in Belgium and we don't own guns here, so, we aren't really use to them.
Tonight a friend of us came by to pick up our cats to keep them during our holidays, she is a cop, we went to another room to prep the cats and when we came back, she was playing with my blaster that was sitting on my desk, we automatically said "it's not a real one", and she replied smiling, "I know", shaking the thing that was making a gling gling noise...
My blaster is the kit one and I just assembled it roughly to see if everything was fitting, I didn't attach some of the screws and all but I'm not sure the gling gling noise will go away...
well, that was both funny and a bit disappointing at the same time.
Now I feel even more motivated to finish it, change the barrel and make it look as real as possible to show her when she comes back!
cheers guys

If you haven't attached all the screws then it's obviously going to rattle? :facepalm
They all have a purpose lol. Mines the kit one and doesn't rattle at all. The receiver bolt doesn't even pop open
Ha, this is mine. It was a rough guess based on the limited photo refs available before the blaster was properly unveiled at SDCC. I had no reference at all for the rear part of the trigger area or grip so I just kinda based it on Deckard's blaster grip.

Lol, well look at that. You nailed it for not having very much reference to go off of. Honestly keeping the grips the same style would have maybe tied them back to the original blasters in a way that made them easier to accept. I think Luv's in particular would look great with some acrylic grips. Just spent a hot minute on your website btw, and it's full of awesome stuff. :cheers
Thanks. My website is is very old. The best place to see my work is over on my Facebook Page. Lots of Blade Runner related stuff on there including scratch-built models etc.

This little gem arrived at my studio courtesy of Shinji Tomenosuke Nakako a couple of weeks back and I've been working on it and enjoying it immensely.
I am ultimately looking for a blaster that is more in keeping with the Tomenosuke used in 2049 - since this is that Tomenosuke variant anyway. From what I have seen the movie blaster is based on the look of the Worldcon but the top weathering is different so, I've have opted for an interim finish that has less weathering than my Worldcon build and I'll finish it properly when I have more reference of the screen used hero.
Thank you for looking.

MARK

Yeah I like it a bit more than I did at first glance, but ultimately that "hair dryer" barrel just kills it for me. I wish they wouldve gone in a different design direction on it.
