Runnriottt Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Other than a new blaster, Where might one find the greebles for the ESB blaster? I would lie to convert my MR. Are these found parts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperTrooper Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Based on my research the greeblies are only on the promo blasters. The screen used ones didn't have the greeblies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Lars[501st] Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 Based on my research the greeblies are only on the promo blasters. The screen used ones didn't have the greeblies. Based on my research, there is at least one "hero" prop which has at least one greeblie. Check out the shots where Leia is being escorted on Cloud City. Most E-11 blasters seen in ESB were resin casts of a master, which had all of them: The most distinguishing feature of these blasters is that the last step on the nozzle is missing. Offering a set of resin-cast greeblies is something that I have wanted to do, but not got around to yet, because I have prioritized other props. Only two types of greeblies have been identified by prop nerds: - The long flat piece behind the ejection port on the right side is from a Phantom 4E model kit. Greeblies from this kit can be found on several other blasters, so it is well known. - The two clips on the left side are nylon clips used in the construction industry. These are more difficult to find. You will have to sculpt the other parts. These are three round knobs on the right side (11 x 4 mm - like a button-cell battery ), some kind of clip where the Hengstler counter would have been and also two greeblies on the scope rail. One thing that is aggrevating when researching this prop is that many casts were incomplete - pieces of greeblies have been broken off or been simplified by filling with clay before casting. I believe that more than one mold was used to cast the "stunts" - and the details differ somewhat between them. If there is enough interest, I could redraw my blueprints of these parts on the computer and maybe publish them on the board. (BTW, the pic on the ESB details page shows a ROTJ blaster, not an ESB stunt) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
