TOTALLY AWESOME!!! That's what I wanted to do, but since I spent sooo many hours on the blaster, I decided to buy a real metal socketcounter from TK_MD... Great work there, respect! -Pablo

ANH - ESB - ROTJ, and That's all, folks!

It's truly a great sight!!! Awesome accuracy!

Thanks Wally, that's very kind of you! My Blaster Core (sound/light module) should arrive next week, then I'll wire it up and it'll be finished and ready to be shown! I can't wait!!!!

LOOOLLLLL!!! Awesome!!! As you said it isn't ANH accurate, but it's definitely FUN!

Nice T-track there, is it rubber or plastic?

I consider myself a Star Wars geek and a general geek/nerd, but that means I'm passionate! And since I haven't got my armor yet, I can't wait to increase my geekiness to a new level!

OMG LOOOL if only I had this when I built it!!! Please, someone DO this and post the pics!!!

You're welcome! And thanks to Daetrin for changing the topic's title to an "HOW TO" one, nice to see that

I was born in 1977, just like Star Wars! :)

Would you be so kind to open it up and tell me the speaker's diameter? I would like to know if I can fit two of those in my bucket

Your AP suit is always freaking amazing, it fits you like a glove!! I have you on my desktop

I'm size 8! :) But I don't think you're going to sell those Isn't a great feeling when you find something you've been looking for for years? Priceless!!!!!

----------- Lenses on the outside, eeewwwwww......... Not good, not good at all....

Don't say that, your blaster is still the finest and best-crafted out there!!!! :) I can't imagine how perfect it would be a rev.2.0 ! I've almost finished mine, I'll post complete pics soon

It won't do if you put the three elements together, the key to the effect is the right distance between the cdrom+film and the lens!

I used short copper pipes of various diameters, a chromed pipe for sinks, steel washers, a funnel tip, look at following pic: bye! Pablo

Exactly! Smitty, feel free to use it for your blasters, in a world ruled by old copyright laws we don't need to keep restricted little things like these, but thanks a lot for the fairplay! :) I'll be pleased to see my idea implemented by another blaster-builder

[OT] OMG Ketariniii, the new gif of "umbrellasaurus" is AWESOME!!! Is that you? Pure genius! LOL [/OT] I'm 5'7"/5'8" and I decided to go TM, since it has no trim lines I'll be easier to fit on my body. Plus is awesome

Hi! Since mine has turned out pretty good, here's my method to obtain a nice visual effect for the scope! All you need is a lens (I took mine from an old Polaroid camera), an old shiny cd-rom, a piece of red OHP film and a superfine marker. 1- cut out from the cd-rom a circle with the correct dimensions of the inside of your scope 2- cut out from the red OHP film a circle of the same size and draw on it the scope lines as you like. Be as precise as possible! (This way you can try different scope styles without cutting out your entire cd collection ) 3- assemble as shown: The key is to put the right distance between the lens and the cd-rom+OHP, experiment till you find the right compromise! Here's the result: Hope you like it! bye, Pablo EDIT BY DAETRIN: updated title

I'm on the Troopermaster waiting list, and after seeing these pics ... my patience is definitely running out! IT'S AWESOME! I really dig this combination and the little heatgun-tweaks you did, nice job!!!!! I'll surely do them on mine!

Precisely! Who cares if now the dawback near the cantina entry now moves more and moans? The only thing that pops in my mind is: "Doh, another CG creature..." Plus, if I were the "move along" TD I'd simply SHOT that little-stupid-annoying sentry droid.... ARGH!

I really can't stand one single change they did, no one has sense IMHO, just to sell more copies, as if they needed that... Check here for comparisons shots in ANH: ------------------ They don't seem to understand that a good puppet or a good spaceship model are WAY BETTER than CG: no matter how good it's done, you can't feel it as real because it isn't, while a good made and animated puppet or model ARE real and your imagination passes the barrier!

Sweet build! But can you please flip horizontally the last pic? We're so used to the bucket asymmetry that it's hard to stand it flipped

Nice work, but the frown should be painted with a darker grey, I don't remember the correct Humbrol number, but someone is surely going to recall it
