Some weathering updates. I took OdiWan and the Muppet Blaster photos and used them as inspiration for my own weathering job. Instead of chipping away paint, I used Silver and Antique Gold Rub 'n' Buff to achieve the look of a resin blaster, with a real M19 scope. Making the scope silver really didn't appeal to me, as the real cast scope is this lumpy black cast and my own had much more detail!

So! With a resin flash hider in hand, shallow 1" hole drilled, i drilled 7/8" down another inch or two to snugly fit the FH. I then finished drilling through fir the barrel....snapped it in place and drilled and set a correct socket head screw! Then Apoxie Sculpt to fill in the back, holes in the cone and a little to support the inside of the cone!

Thank you! I have to thank Shingouki28 for the flash hider. Couldn't have done this without him!

I think it'd be swell if Dan dmachinist of Dark Energy Creations could machine a few of those flash hiders w/o the holes next time he does a run for those of us who'd like a nice looking version of this variant blaster.

Yea,

seeing as this is mostly metal, I'd trade this out in a heartbeat, and make my own resin version!

I like your approach!

The flash hider is a recast of an old machinaartium fh as far as I can tell by the oversized bullet shaped cuts. This was an error on an early run and he sold these discounted.
anyway...it suits the blaster well

thanks!
I think it suits it too. Im sanding the cone tonight and plan to hit it with a chrome spray paint, and dab the "rear" surface (putty) with some black paint to match the rest of the barrel and gun

I decided to go with silver rub n buff for the flash hider, and do some more semi gloss black touch ups on the body! I'm pretty happy with this - any suggestions or things I missed? I almost can't believe this started out as a solid cast Lytle dummy gun...I also may have won a plastic LS MGC...more to come..

Nice custom build there, chubsANDdoggers. The light finish on the grips sets it apart from others. Is that flash hider aluminum?

Thanks man! Only parts that are metal are the denix muser and all the screws holding everything together. The rest of this blaster (including the flash hider) are all synthetic.

I started slapping together a slightly idealized version of this stunt blaster and could use some help:



What is the plastic "reflective-type" material used in the scope eyepiece seen in the Propstore video?

Bump.

I'll buy speculation if anyone is selling any on this topic

Here is a screenshot of the eyepiece part in question:



There appears to be a grid work design to this unknown item.

The stunt E-11s had a piece of fluorescent diffusion in their scopes.
A diamond pattern with the raised areas facing outwards.
That's what we briefly see in that video.

Ah, so a plastic refractor lens cover that has been trimmed to size?

Yeah, I picked up the scope, greeblies, and Mauser from Corellian Exports. Great overall quality with minimal casting bubbles and seam lines. The seam line on the pistol runs over the top of the pistol and runs over the site and ejector and can take some time to remove, for that reason, but overall it was easy to remove. I reinforcd and built up the trigger to make it appear like the original pistol's casting. The grips are separately cast pieces and did require some sanding to fit them but this only took about 15 minutes of work.

Since this is a stunt build, the resin parts fit the bill nicely.

That’s great to hear. I don’t mind the resin especially if it’s accurate. Most of my builds use nylon..
