It's not far off from a Jabba's Guard blaster
I'm surprised no one has done a Sten based blaster since a lot of Ralph Mcquarrie's concept drawings look like the characters have a Sten type blaster.
Tim A. (D48thRonin) did it in the late 1990's to go along with his McQuarrie Style Fett costume.
It looks great and it's on his Picturetrail website.
Thanks Scott
It's been nearly 20 years ago, now, and my knowledge & skillset were in their infancy, but here it is...

Not much to it, but less is more, right? All I did was cut the barrel down so it was flush with the shroud, and shortened the magazine. I picked up a couple inexpensive rifle scopes at a local gunshow and IIRC I simply used some hardwood blocks that I epoxied to the receiver to mount them. I also gave it a new coat of black paint and did some subtle weathering. I don't think I would do anything differently, other than better materials/better craftsmanship.
I made a couple recently... Both hideously ugly
This one used a toy blaster as a base, cost about £15 total:

And this one - Complete scratch-build. Only thing I bought was the pipe for the vented barrel. Everything else I had in the garage. Cost about £3, but truly awful :facepalm

Here's one that I made somewhere between 2002 to 2004.
If you remember Gavidoc, you might remember his custom "DL54" blaster pistol. I made one, too, but I went a little further than he did and kinda OG'd it. (Over-Greeblied)
He said mine was the "DL-54A."

That's on an MGC too right?
I love it! What's the base model?Not much done here, other than to disable the firing mechanism and add a scope. I intend to do more to dress it up a bit, but I haven't yet made up my mind what to do exactly.
