Nice buddy, looks great!
Some more work done…
Need to find a better cord/ cable for the rear end…this doesn‘t look good
And while trying to attach the balls to the prod, it happened what had to happen…the paint got cracks
Need to get a can of plastidip
this came out awesome!Some more work done…

Most likelyMarkus, isn't it probable that the screen used balls had the same cracks, just not visible?
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...
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!Figuring out the specs of the next project…this will be a BEAST with a length of close to 2m…way bigger than the real vintage rifle I have !
Going to use a 25mm diameter aluminum barrel…PVC is just for size reference

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.
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
