Progress..

Hey - quick question, when mounting a bracket to an MGC, how did you tap the rear screw? seems like, for the hammer to still be moveable, you have barely any material to tap?

Not to worry as there is more than enough metal to make the hold. The hammer (and safety) will work just fine.

the shape of the fins are quite odd. Trying to think what it could be from its size?

I've always thought it was a heatsink from some component. I've seen some WEIRD shapes that sit around items on circuit boards

Speaking of MGC's, do your ESB flash hiders fit the barrel of an MGC or are they designed to fit Denix barrels?

 

[chubsANDdoggers]

I design some specifically just for the MGC and well as the denix..

That black is the exact same as the white just died BUT the white is “processed” which means it’s technically more smoother.

I'm having trouble finding any photos from the Tobias_Beckett version 212 https://www.therpf.com/f79/dl44blaster-278441/index9.html#post4480561

I seem to remember a knock-off of the DL that was used in a video game some time ago

This also had a scope and clip

Not this

You seem to have got all the milling down pat... Do you have a small desktop mill?

No but maybe one day. Any suggestions??This mill I use is pretty BIG but I’ve finally been able to work it myself. Before all I could do was watch and give instructions. So much better when ur driving!!

Very nice!

What are you using for texture on the scope?

 

[chubsANDdoggers]

It’s all in this thread. Check out the first page with all the links. It’s under “m19 BESPIN SCOPE build”. It’s my m19 scope but I add texture the same way on every scope build

Duh... thanks!

Too many threads and most of them too long to remember where everything is!

Totally understandable. That’s one of the reasons I started this thread and use direct links to each specific thread itself. Makes life just a little bit easier for everyone

Recently I put this together and it seems very helpful to many so I’ll share it here as well. Starting from the top left down each blaster is in order of appearance throughout the SW saga...

I noticed something tonight while watching EMPIRE. When Luke falls in Cloud City he looks to be carrying the same style resin blaster he used on Dagobah..

The scope/mount looks to have either broken off or was taken off. But what’s interesting is the paint job. It looks like they painted it with the scope and mount already attached??

I remember posting about this a few years ago. they REALLY didn't care, like we do, disassembling the parts to paint them. If you think about it, they just kept re-using casts of Han's ANH blaster with a different scope instead of casting the new ESB blasters.
