New custom blaster, what do you think

[airsoftmode]

Heres my new blaster I made for a generic new republic jedi costume im putting together.

It started life as a cheap spring airsoft gun, I primed, repainted an undercoat of black. Dry brushed metallic silver, then applied a black ink to age it. After I did that I wrapped the grip in leather cord.

So, what do you think, o the thing on top is a working "laser" apparently, but if I had to hazard I guess im expecting a red led.

it looks cool. though I think it needs a flash supressor for that star wars blaster look

[Kant Lavar]

Very nice.

Started life as a 1911 clone?

[Mat Katarn]

dude! most excellent

[airsoftmode]

Yeah, it may need a flash suppressor your right, and it has a little matterial I can attach to.

But what style? Think a dl-44 would look arlight?

[Sairon]

That looks bad a**, very Anton Rand. I think it looks great the way it is. Another thing is, does it still fire, or just a static prop?

[airsoftmode]

It still fires, but its just a springer so its not very exciting. Although at night with a mag of glow in the dark bbs it would be pretty cool.

I have that exact model in the closet with very similar intentions. i want to turn it into a heavy blaster for the character and stories I am writing. The scope has a red cross hairs in it and the laser sight is more of a pointer, but works on my unit.
Nice Job!!
I wanted to find some way to add a magazine chamber below the barrel and use an off-the-side scope mount like the DL-44.
I also have 2 mauser replicas (airsoft plastic) and the resin casting for both versions of the DL-44 (ANH & ESB).
Just need the time and "skilz" to airbrush the things....

*Obi-Dar has a seizure from looking at the flashing saber in airsoftmode's sig*

Ummm... Yeah.... Where was I?

Oh yeah.

That looks pretty good, but it needs something more. Definitely a flash suppressor, but it needs something around the back end of the slide area too. I don't know what, but something to make it look more futuristic, and less like a 20th century handgun.

I do like the paint and weathering. Overall, a nice job.

[Rhyen Skytracker]

That is an awesome blaster. You do know this is a lightsaber sight don't you? I am just kidding, I couldnt resist. Awesome job.

[vamphunterx]

I like it, very good job

[airsoftmode]

Your wish is my command, I turned an aluminum flash hider in the dl-44 style and weathered it.

That looks pretty good!

[vamphunterx]

WOW, even better now.

[strengthofrage]

Did the original come with the scope piece and bracket or did u add that?

Very nice blaster, I started one from a nerf gun but I do not like it, it looks to 'fake'. Yours looks very well done =)

[Thaxos]

Why sell it on eBay though?

[airsoftmode]

Cuz I want to see if there is interest for them, and if there is I may start producing them in bulk.

[MasterRoop]

sweet! i like it!

[37H4N]

Wow that looks awesome! Although it looked good before, the flash hider makes it soooo much better. Great job!

Ahh cool. Well if I had spare cash I'd buy it. But I don't, however I hope I can scrounge up enough for a lightsaber from here.
