Official ROTJ Blaster Thread

Can someone tell me what the W&S Flare Gun, usualy is going for ? I might have access to one, but the guy asks around 400.- EURO for a non-functional one.

the closest i've seen was the stalk only for $750 USD. so if that's the whole gun... what's the euro? $2 or so? $800? heck, i'd buy that

 

[Real Scooby]

Thanks, am considering taking that one already. The EURO is around 1.20 US right now btw.

Just in case I really do, for a ROTJ blaster, do I have to modify the barrel ( by slipping a new one over it or something like that ) or are the wiper blades clued directly on the original one.
I am not sure about that but the original barrel looks a little to thin and to short to me.

 

[stormtrooperguy]

so on the note of the rotj blaster... when building up a gun, what do folks use for this part:

by this part i mean the bit between the t-track stuff around the barrel, and the rear of the gun? did that make sense?

i bought a resin webley on rpf recently and have started building it out as an rotj rifle, and that part has me a bit stumped.

Here is a piece I am working on. Needs painting and a little more work.

I updated the pic. I still have a little work to do but I am almost there. Sorry about the lower res pic, my digital camera isn't the best.

Does anybody know what the part on the right is from? I've already got the "V-8 kit" which has the part on the left... but I am still trying to ID the one on the right... any help would be great.

Bump. I'd like to know too.

I think I remember someone saying it was an older european wall plug plate.

 

[terryr]

I heard it was from the V-8 kit as well. Part of the battery pack for the moving version.

 

[wizardofflight]

I just pick up the vintage V8 kit off of e-bay and the large stock plate is not part of that kit. As far as I can tell it is still an unknown.

Bummer, I just bought the 1977 kit on ebay. I do have a copy of the missing part but, I don't know who made it or where it can from.

The large stock plate is not part of the model kit. In fact that part has not been identified yet.

OK, Noob question... :confused

How thick is the grip plate that the stock mounts to? I've just finished carving my stock, but no idea how thick to make the plate... I've looked at Alan's blueprints, and if each square represents 1 inch, I'm guessing it to be around 3/8" ?

 

[Sidewinder]

My original is 0.35" thick. You mean the Stock Bracket, the grip plate is a different part.

[wizardofflight]

I drew that part at 3/8" mainly for the ease of manufacturing. 3/8 being a standard size for metal plate and plastic sheet, but if the original is .35" then I wasn't too far off the mark.

Hi, I'm starting to build an ROTJ Fett blaster, but some of the links in this thread are dead. Is there anywhere I can find more pics of the screen used prop and maybe a breakdown of the parts and greeblies needed?

So far I have acquired from several cources a full resin blaster with a solid barrel(is it better to cut off the barrel and replace it with a PVC pipe?), 2 alum greeblies for the stock, a real scope, and some other parts which I'm not sure goes where...

Would it help if I post a pic of all the parts I have?

I'm thinking of making a wood stock from a piece of 1.5 inch plank, using the resin stock as a reference. Has this been done and is there a tutorial somewhere?

Thanks in advance for any help you guys can provide.

 

[gunnerk19]

I made my stock using 1/2" sheets of basswood laminated together (I shoulda used 5/8", but my hobby store didn't have it), then cut the overall shape and sanded the bejezus out of it...

The stock bracket is made of 3 layers of 1/8" plastic "wet floor" caution sign laminated as well.

 

[Dark Amon]

beautifull job !

 

[nexus]

Wow great job! And thanks for sharing. Now I'm definitely gonna give it a go.

I too want to attempt remaking the stock bracket. Mind sharing how to make the piece that holds the trigger? Did you have professional help of did you just clamp a piece of plastic to the old vise and start filing away?

 

[Airman Fett]

ANyone know where to find the rubber grip strips still for a decent price?

Why would you wanna use rubber grips when you can use something 99% like the actual tracks used on the movie prop?
