Leia Blaster

[gmrhodes13[Staff]]

My Leia was complaining that she didn't have a blaster so here we go yet another blaster build

 

This is what I am aiming for.

 

 

Started with this $2 toy gun I found at the Reject shop, closest thing that I have been able to find for now.

 

 

 

Strip down

 

 

 

Found some plastic pipe for the barrel

 

 

 

Filling some sections

 

 

 

Of course it has to have sound and light, using a blue hi-bright led, set for stun can't have her killing any of us

 

 

 

Just making the sights

Very cool. Looking forward to your work.

Got the use of a lathe and managed to get the front pieces with the fins made. Glued on a few more details be ready for some filler next.

Bit of bondo and sanding and cut the slot in the front muzzle

Managed to get a few more details added, grip will never be the same as the original but Leia will still be happy with it. First coat of primer is on.

 

[gmrhodes13[Staff]]

Primer rubbed down, now a silver base coat.

 

 

And now the first coat of satin black
