When I saw the trailer, all I thought was crap that's a flash light... now I have to change my nerf blaster or just go without.

Nice to see that you have already incorporated in your blasters

It's been a very busy past few weeks. I have been working to get us caught up with the FISD orders. Once those are done, we will open up a run over here.

I have also started working on the buttstock.

After lots of priming and sanding, it is done and ready to be molded.

Then the molds were created, and then there were two.

All parts have now been molded. I'm also in the process of painting one up for myself. I will hopefully have an update on that early next week.

Great job! What software did you use on this rifle? Is it Solidworks?

The first blaster model was Solidworks, but the one we wound up going with was done by laellee in Blender, IIRC?

I've been super busy trying to knock out kits.

I finally got around to finishing my own blaster. I am really pleased with it.

Here's a nice look at Phasma's blaster.

I wonder why they went with a right side magazine? Unless the majority of your Stormtroopers are left handed it would be harder to reload.

Likely because a left-magazine arrangement would not holster clean against the right leg. :thumbsup

Didn't many OT troopers ended up holding their blasters left-handed, because of the magazine bumping their armor when held right-handed?

Did anyone notice the trigger guard is open on the front, probably to accommodate her armor plated gloves?

You can also see that the front grip safety is also missing. My thought was that she has moded her weapon to be more lethal, by removing safety features.

That or they just had to make the grip smaller for her hand...
