jkno Posted June 28, 2015 Report Posted June 28, 2015 I finally got an original and mint full metal MGC (Model Gun Corporation - Japan) Stormtrooper blaster, and it is one of the best conversions I've seen. True prop collectors know how rare these things are, I wanted one for ages. It still misses a small greeblie, but I will get that separately and add it myself. The Stormtrooper blaster comes with: - Aluminum scope rail - Accurate Weaver Scope Ring - Aluminum Scope with separate glass lens (from Boba Debt's last run) - Aluminum Barrel Rails - Accurate Mr. Sparkle Hammer Greeblies - Real RO72 Sight - Lightly weathered And it also came with the original MGC cardboard box from the 80's, which is insanely cool. Now to make some plaques and a cool metal stand for this beauty. Special thanks to the two friends who so kindly helped me with getting this baby. 5 Quote
jkno Posted June 28, 2015 Author Report Posted June 28, 2015 very very nice! Nice! Thanks a lot Vern and Mathias. This board was an inspiration for me! Vern already tried to help me some time ago, and glad finally was able to get this rare blaster in my hands. Now hopefully our talented friend Andy will make the cool metal stand run seen here, though a minor modification will be needed for MGC's due to the first hammer greeblie and the back support that touches it.

TK bondservnt[501st] Posted June 28, 2015 Report Posted June 28, 2015 (edited) at one time I had collected all the parts needed to do all the e-11's in the films... then I had a car accident... and it all went away.... took me over 5 years to do.. and in 30 seconds it was all gone.. What I like about yours is that the C tracks are the correct size and even the bend in front is exactly correct perhaps sskunky should take note of your C track style!

I know about your problems, sorry to hear about that. Your dedication to blasters is unbeatable. I have to admit that this built was not done by me, but the friend who did it, had an excellent eye for details. He went for the best. The door catch/latch greeblie is the only part he didn't get, again from what I understand he wanted the best from a possible RPF run that never happened alas. What would you recommend for the door catch? Quote
TK bondservnt[501st] Posted June 29, 2015 Report Posted June 29, 2015 I would contact SSkunky and have him run up a metal part for you! Quote
