Blaster ROTJ Recipe

How long is the blaster? Could you measure the entire length?

Also, could you measure the section of the barrel that has the t-tracks?

I'm curious to see if this is an accurate length. :)

The tube bit between where the webley ends and the fins start is approx 3", the finned bit is approx 8" and the total length is just under 30.5" I scaled it off a bigger version of the pic below.

PM me for details etc.

which is just about exactly the length of my sci-fire one. 2 people coming up with the same number definitely lends credibility to that number.

hrm... i'll be back at the museum all weekend. i should bring a tape measure ;)

I'll go home and check.

The bomb rack greeblie is a known part. Once you know the size of that, you can scale the correct length of the entire blaster. I'm pretty sure the Sci-Fire, which I also have, is too short.

According to MR the length of the blaster is going to be 32 5/8 long.

interesting...

i'll try to get a side by side shot of mine and the one in the case tomorrow. the scaling will be a bit off since it will be about 3" in front of the one in the case, but it should be easy enough to tell a difference of 2 inches at that distance.
 
Here's a quick (& crapy) layover. The green is the original blaster, & the blue is a sci-fire blaster. The length seems to be a little short, & on the original it looks as if the stock has been trimed down a bit.

Isn't there a ridge greeblie between the two rings on the barrel - like in the picture above?


right under the two knobs of the scope...

I do have molds for all the ROTJ parts now, (apart from the two little fins on the sides of the ringed tube) so I could do if there was any interest.
