I tried to be a cautionary tale!
One of these days when I try the quick way of doing something, it's going to work perfectly without any touchups or anything!
this came out awesome!
Most likely
Used Chris‘ barrel support and blocks, but made my own sideplates from aluminum
BC is on the blaster wall again…will take some glamour shots soon.
Also did some work to Ryan‘s awesome Rancor door panel kit. Need to find a lighting solution for it…
Also started another custom blaster …

You also need a skull to go with the door panel!
I've been getting the itch to do another custom blaster or lightsaber. I've got a ton of parts I've collected, just need the drive to want to work on something! I think I'm going to need several more years (or projects in between) before I could work on an AR based blaster though...

….I just started the custom, because I discovered the airsoft AR15 during my last cleanup AND wanted to have a side project, while waiting for parts or the motivation to finish other props LOL
that's awesome! looking forward to see what you do with this
this was definitely a project I wanted to do, don't hesitate if you need help for something!

This will be a LOOOONG undertaking, since I don´t have the right tools to do this kind of -big- woodwork.
I took me ages to sit down and TRY to come up with the correct specs of the rifle.
The Planet Hollywood rifle is definitely NOT screenused, not even production used IMHO, but a generic arabian rifle.
The pics of the allegedly "screen-used" rifle without any greeblies attached do not show the actual screen used rifle either....the shape of the buttstock and the placement of the wire wrapping is different from the actual prop.
So I had to base my "research" on the crappy archive pics, with only ONE showing the rifle in its full length and the b/w photography of Luke holding this blaster.
IF ANYBODY has a high resolution scan of this pic, I´d appreciate if I could get it
Here´s a comparsion to show what I am talking about...
dkraude : Could you show some pics of your finished rifle, please...along with some basic measurements? What is the diameter of your barrel?
Thanks

Sure thing. I will get to it later today when I get home from work.This will be a LOOOONG undertaking, since I don´t have the right tools to do this kind of -big- woodwork.

Also finally found the cochones to drill into my real MG15 and attach the scopes
Since I am not working with a dummy receiver, the barrel is welded in place and I didn´t want to butcher the Tabby scope in any way, I had to make some sacrifices with regards to accuracy but I love that blaster
A million thanks to Art Andrews, who not only helped me with purchasing the MG15 from IMA ages (!) ago, but also provided my first Tabby, the Enfield scope, the T-Mount and a lot of support and encouragement. He and Chris Reiff also came up with the wonderful Snooper scope mount, that I was lucky to get my hands on. THANK YOU GENTLEMEN
Will post some beauty shots eventually, but there are some pics fresh from the workshop
