Greetings everyone! Just a quick post to show some progress on my blasters. You can check out the newly-updated build thread in my signature to check out the rest of my kit!
This is my right-hand blaster. It's modded from a gun I used for Halloween several years ago, with most of its body filled with Bondo, and an extended ammo clip added. It felt pretty swars-y already, but I feel it's lacking a couple small details to really push it over the edge. I filled the small holes in the grip, and built up some parts up with some Aves Apoxie Sculpt, then shaped and sanded them down. I'm really happy with them so far, but need to Bondo the center seams still. It's close! See the end for the most recent picture of this blaster next to the other one.
The other blaster! This is a relic of an airsoft shotgun from I-don't-know-how-many-years-ago. The screw-holes are filled and sanded, but I'm wanting to still fill the holes at the top of the grip. Again, close to completion, but needs another detail or two to really push it into "holy cow that's cool" territory. I'm currently thinking of adding a blaster cartridge right ahead of the trigger guard, but am open to suggestions. I kind of really like the clean look of this one, so I'd even say it's closer than the first blaster.
Most recent image of the two together, both sides. Again, still needing to fill those holes in the former airsoft gun, but so far happy with my progress here.
Additionally, I'll be reaching out to WoodChuck for a DC-15A blaster rifle soon, he's given me a date that I need to check in with him. Honestly it's just my favorite gun from all of Star Wars. Here's a placeholder pic, just to show y'all what I've got in mind.
Thanks for reading!
