EE-3 Carbine Scratch (project photos)

need suggestion. remember this is not 100% screen accurate (cuz i dont have the time or money) but hows this look for a layer of the gun outta sintra? look ok? i know it hard to see, but theres a pencil to give you reference sizes, tell me if you think it looks too big/small/odd i cant fine a cap gun thatll fit my hand in any store, and the only gun i find *cap* is 5 bucks, then theres pellet guns for 20 bucks.. but eh.. i think ill sintra it lol.

With TK-409's measurments of the base webley of the ROTJ gun, I scaled down wizardoflight's templates and edited them to be able to make easy plexi-glas forms.

there 1:1 the chamer just needs to be bend an bondo'd with a pvc pipe in it, an ur home free...

damn.. right after i started.. oh well, I was on a time frame and well.. heres what I got so far, lots of bondo and sanding to do tomarrow, some done already. I know it isnt perfect, but i think itll turn out to be at least a good prop rifle for movie goers to "ooh" and "ahh" over.no templates were used (I know.. there horrible.. i shoulda got templates) But all free hand and imagination (tried to remember what the gun looked like lol)

For all those accurate ones with money to spare . . . .I have confirmation from the Master Replicas designer that they will be making the EE-3 blaster in 2006.

These look great by the way for customs on a budget!

If the E-11 runs around $400, you can imagine what the EE-3 will run. :facepalm
 
not much to look at, but iam happy with her, shes not done sanding, got some touch up bondo to do, and to thicken the "chamber" and put the over piece on it, then paint her up, but heres how she looks so far. Instead of playdoh I jused used pvc pipe, a cut circle of sintra (so i wouldnt have to fill the whole saber up) and about a golfball size of Bondo, then crammed the tip of my gun in and held it till it hardened. Ill take close ups and explain what I used for what when I have time.

Eh I just eyeballed it,drew it, and cut it outta sintra, base glued it with some hot glue (gun 2 bucks, glue sticks 1 buck, Wal Mart, High Temp) then bondo the sides and edges, then sanded the kajesus outta it to make it smooth, the stock, and "gun" are all sintra made like this. 8 layers so far I think. weighs.. about 3 pounds, feels good and sturdy though.
 
HERE WE ARE! i got screwed outta time and ideas so.. the stock is remaining black and not any wood colors... some parts look really bad.. but overall.. iam happy with my rifle.. calculated costs, not counting time or sintra (dont wanna do the fractions) 22 dollars.. i think. roughly around there. Sintra, Bondo, Hot glue, Play Doh, 1/2 inch PVC pipe, oil funnel, scope and patience.. all of wich but 1 item can be bought at wal mart... lol. open 24 hours! and boy.. am I there A LOT. Pic time. Pardon the flash washing.

Now that has to be the most clever thing I've seen in a long time. Using a light saber backwards as the barrel. BRAVO!!! ( Had to look 2x at the picture to make sure)
 
hi, I see the pics of your EE-3.........here I send you the mines..............
I use the same material......cheap toys, wood, and instead of the lightsaber I use a pvc pipe...................just buy a pistol, and a western rifle for the butt, and you have the something to start.................for only 5€...........and the paint, the most expensive material in this project..............

I like yours, too. I'll probably do that eventually, but this right here that I made was just a quicky, if you know what I mean. My only complaint with yours is that I think it is a tad too long. Not a problem though, because it's still better than mine. And thanks to the helmet I'm scratchbuilding, I'm STILL on the market for a better rifle stock... but I haven't been looking very hard, or else I'm sure I would've gotten something by now, heheh.
 
it's okay, I think that the butt of mine must to be larger.............
here a (bad) picture from ''star wars. the visual dictionary'' as referance........
thanks and keep the good work.............

looks terrific, a nice low cost method that still gets you a great looking blaster. i will probably follow exactly what you did for mine.

I have so many lightsabers left over from the last movie midnight release.
I bought a cheapo lightsaber and so did everyone in my group, and everyone didn't want their's after, and everyone gave me their lightsaber

so i have like 8 lightsabers, and a few are the DV style, so i could attempt this


looks very nice, good job
