Hi guys! After well deserved vacations, I'm back!
I decided to start with one of the accessories, because I still don't feel quite ready yet to work on my armor. I have to make it at some point anyway :p
It's the DC-17 pistol, used by Commander Bly and company (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/327th_Star_Corps) on ROTS.

Here's a list of approved characters who use it:
- Commander Bly (http://www.501st.com/databank/Costuming:CC_CommanderBly)
- Commander Deviss (http://www.501st.com/databank/Costuming:CC_CommanderDeviss)
- Commander Vill (http://www.501st.com/databank/Costuming:CC_CommanderVill)
- ARC Trooper (http://www.501st.com/databank/Costuming:AR_stdARC)
- 327th Star Corp. Trooper (http://www.501st.com/databank/Costuming:CT_327StarCorpsTrooper)

Remember that anybody can download the blueprints for free in the description of the video

Oh! I just noticed the 5 small details on the side of each pistols are differently arranged :D Fortunately I haven't glue them yet!

Hi everybody!
The electronic components are taking longer than expected, so I haven't been able to make major progress last few days :(
But well, I found a couple of PVC pipes for the barrels. They are 21mm diameter.

For those who missed it, here is the most recent video tutorial about these blasters :)

Hi everybody. It's been more than 6 weeks since I ordered the electronic components for the DC-17 Hand Blasters. They haven't arrived yet. I haven't been able to make progress because I'm not sure how big the components are or how I'm going to place and connect everything :behave

Well, apparently the electronic components are not going to arrive ever. I tried to track my package and it says it's in Russia! So I had to ask for a refund.
Another option is to add lights and no sound. This will speed up the construction. What do you guys think?

It's alive! Yesterday I bought some electronic components locally, including a very bright LED, so in the next few days I'll be uploading a new video
