You never disappoint Q

[shashachu[TK]]

Amazing! The folks on this forum will never cease to impress me.

[gmrhodes13[Staff]]

So it seems from what images there are that the weapon has a blaster hengstler and magazine

 

Having to guess placement

 

Trimmed and fitted

 

Lights fitted

 

 

Now to work out fitment of switches and get the rest of the electronics inside

 

 

 

 

[ukswrath[Staff]]

nice catch Q

[gmrhodes13[Staff]]

Fitting all the switches, amp jack, batter pack and electronics was not fun, took longer than I thought it would but it's all in now.

 

 

 

It may not work as a blaster but I'd rather have the electronics in there just in case

 

Just the LED for the blaster tube and the EL wire to thread through the claw sections once it's all assembled.

 

Will also use a 90 deg elbow AV cable so the wire sits in closer to the handle and my glove.

Dude ... WOW!

[gmrhodes13[Staff]]

A little more progress but fiddly bits, making and attaching brackets for the claws to mount too, some detail pieces and trial fit and test of angles.

Should look great once finished 

[gmrhodes13[Staff]]

Thanks guys.

 

Going to have to put up with the smell of paint for the time being, too cold and wet to leave outside, this is going to be a slow process

 

 

 

 

[gmrhodes13[Staff]]

Weather gods have smiled upon me, managed to get another coat of paint on today

Thanks Tony

 

The claw sections have some recesses/indents but as references material is not very clear I have just made these from sticker material, easy to change later

Supports for the claws painted silver, white detail section added and glued.

 

Handle masked and recess section painted satin black, really shows up the grooves well.

 

 

 

 

[gmrhodes13[Staff]]

Been waiting on the weather for paint to dry all week, now waiting on glue to dry, getting there.

Thanks for the kind words guys

 

Once all the parts had colour on them and assembled I found I wasn't happy with the length of the barrel and the width between the claws so I've done some trimming and a little adjusting, much happier now

Sleep, I can sleep when I'm dead

 

Having a look at another slightly higher res photo and noticed I should have mounted the magazine further around on the side, not too worry I'll fix this up on the next version
 

 

 

The more images I see the less I think that the head and base claws are offset, but just in case I've slotted the mounting holes so I can adjust them later. Really depends how you view the images and look at the angles, I've found holding it and taking photos it can change so much

 

So here is where I am up too, everything attached and electronics working, now just stuck waiting on the mail man now, the EL wire I had was just too short, hopefully it will turn up soon

 

 

 

Thought I would try out some hot glue on the EL wire, seemed to work well for Kylo's, I think it will look more realistic
 

 

Some more reference material

Awesome! Now the stressful part - painting 1/3rd of your helmet black.

I may go with a Dr am for the Kelley stripe

Wow that is some fantastic work. I think the glue on the wire looks real good.
