kcpstudio Posted August 10, 2016 Author Report Posted August 10, 2016 Like I said before, Germain, let me know if you need help. PM me up with any questions you have and I'll help you out. <br><br> Cheers mate! Quote
Cookie Nomster Posted August 10, 2016 Report Posted August 10, 2016 Put me on the list. But I'm interested in seeing the prototype and understanding the cost. If this is a $1000 dollar blaster, that's probably a non-starter for me. Quote
EvilestFool Posted August 10, 2016 Report Posted August 10, 2016 Interested on how the trigger is affixed on this one. I would love to get on this list once its available please. Quote
kcpstudio Posted August 10, 2016 Author Report Posted August 10, 2016 The trigger is the same as the upgraded studio props. The trigger is rubber and fits into two slots in the frame. You can squeeze the trigger and it won't break off. Quote
Harbinger[IPM] Posted August 10, 2016 Report Posted August 10, 2016 Put me on the list. But I'm interested in seeing the prototype and understanding the cost. If this is a $1000 dollar blaster, that's probably a non-starter for me. Same here... tentatively interested pending pricing. Ken, I assume all of the aluminum parts on the blaster will be real metal on your version? Quote
kcpstudio Posted August 10, 2016 Author Report Posted August 10, 2016 As stated in throughout the thread, the prop will be 100% exact to the screen used guns. All parts that were metal I will be cnc machining out of aluminum. All plastic parts, I will be using a two part thermo-set high performance plastic. All grip pads will be cast rubber... including the trigger. All fasteners will be the exact size, lengths, and finish as used on the screen guns. And.... all kits will have the exact flashlight that was used. The torch will already be permanately sealed in the plastic pullout housing and the bezel ring already permanately mounted to the lens bezel of the flashlight. This is exact to the studio setup but I'm doing this on my end as I would like to protect the identity of the make/model of the torch that was used. The front sight cover will be laser cut acrylic thermo formed to final shape... just like the original. <br><br> The only thing I'm doing different is casting the grip pads out of black rubber. However, anyone that wishes plastic as the screen guns had, I will cast them plastic.<br><br> Cheers Quote
kcpstudio Posted August 10, 2016 Author Report Posted August 10, 2016 Also, all wipers will be cast black rubber. Quote
Oztrooper[TK] Posted August 10, 2016 Report Posted August 10, 2016 Would love to meet you too Ken.. Quote
Pencap510 Posted August 10, 2016 Report Posted August 10, 2016 (edited) Same - I'm in with the same reservations as everyone else. Everything looks amazing!! A quick question and it might sound completely off the wall but it's in regard to the d ring holder placement In the two blasters I have assembled- the d ring came installed vertically which I assumed was wrong. The blaster "screen used" (and I use that lightly ) that they have on display at Disney Launch Bay has it installed horizontally. Just like the blasters their terrible looking troopers carry (their blasters actually look pretty darn good) Why is yours positioned diagonally? Edited August 10, 2016 by Pencap510 Quote
kcpstudio Posted August 10, 2016 Author Report Posted August 10, 2016 The aluminum sling ring on the back has a screw that threads into it from inside. It swivels. The placement must be purely something Disney did on their display. But, you can spin that piece. some of the guns production made were glued in place while others were screwed and could spin. Mine will be exact and screwed into place... snug but can spin. 1 Quote
Pencap510 Posted August 10, 2016 Report Posted August 10, 2016 (edited) Thanks for the reply, makes perfect sense. I took SEVERAL pictures from all around the blaster. Curious how accurate it really is now having seen your cad renders. Edited August 10, 2016 by Pencap510 Quote
kcpstudio Posted August 10, 2016 Author Report Posted August 10, 2016 TY... are you curious how accurate my CAD is or a prop you took pictures of? Quote
Pencap510 Posted August 10, 2016 Report Posted August 10, 2016 TY... are you curious how accurate my CAD is or a prop you took pictures of? The prop Disney displays - I guess I assumed theirs was spot on as most of the launch bay displayed models/movie used props seems spot on, and though I can't notice any differences I'm sure there are some Quote
The5thHorseman[501st] Posted August 11, 2016 Report Posted August 11, 2016 (edited) The prop Disney displays - I guess I assumed theirs was spot on as most of the launch bay displayed models/movie used props seems spot on, and though I can't notice any differences I'm sure there are some There are some between KCP's and this one, but only because there is a lot of different screen-used blasters. For what it's worth and if you want a second opinion, I can assure you that Ken's blaster is absolutely identical to the version he is replicating. Edited August 11, 2016 by The5thHorseman Quote
Novak Dimon[TK] Posted August 11, 2016 Report Posted August 11, 2016 Awesome project!! I'm definitely interested in this Blaster. I hope the price won't kill me!! Quote
kcpstudio Posted August 11, 2016 Author Report Posted August 11, 2016 Thanks Germain and everyone for all your kind words. Much appreciated. Quote
Starfox2010 Posted August 11, 2016 Report Posted August 11, 2016 I'm interested depending on price Quote
TK3645 Posted August 11, 2016 Report Posted August 11, 2016 Hey Ken, add me to the interest list...cheers Quote
Chris Stewart Posted August 11, 2016 Report Posted August 11, 2016 So interested! Price is a consideration but wow! What an awesome build. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
kcpstudio Posted August 12, 2016 Author Report Posted August 12, 2016 Metal is here. Programming is done. Cutting chips this weekend. 3 Quote
darthaldernu Posted August 12, 2016 Report Posted August 12, 2016 I'm interested depending on the price and if a fully assembled blaster can be shipped to the UK. Keep up the amazing work! Quote
