Thread: New custom blaster, what do you think

  1. #1

    Default Custom blaster NEW PICS ON PAGE 2!!

    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.

    Not as clumsy or random as a blaster, the lightsaber is an elegant weapon, from a more civilized time.

    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?

    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?

    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....
    All things a beginning have.
    As all things do an ending.
    Be not too hasty from one to the other to move, or much will you miss, along the way.

    *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.
