** IT'S DONE! ** MLC FG RotJ AND ESB Blaster Rifle
::Update - 5 November 2003::
Both versions finished except for a few greeblies.
More info to follow once I have confirmation of a few things.
Thought I'd put the pics up as eye candy!
Pic 1 is various greeblies. Split plugs and 6 hole blaster blocks are the found parts in the pic, the rest are scratchbuilt. Waiting for some V8 connectors (found parts) and the centre ESB stock greeblie (scratchbuilt).
No trimming or sanding will be necessary, but greeblies will come loose and need gluing on so they can be put wherever.
Scope not included, flash not included,

::END UPDATE - 11/5/03::
::Update - 3 November 2003::
Another pic of progress!
Here's the blaster in ESB barrel.
What else can we see.
Well, top right is the RotJ barrel in mid clean up with fins attached.
On the stock is a card mock up of the greeblie that sits on both sides of the chamber on the RotJ version.
Under the blaster you can see the split plug and scope block found parts.
You can also see a scope ring mardon found at a local auto parts store, and under that are a couple of early drawings of the diameters of the scope rings (front and back) allowing for the taper.
The scope and flash handle are Mardon's.
Some other greeblies have been sourced, but have yet to arrive with Mardon and we're waiting for some info and pics on one in particular (hopefully) so should have a bit more news soon.
In the meantime the clean up continues.
I previously posted that we'd have pics of the cleaned up blaster the next day after posting the last pics. Mardon has corrected me on that (entirely my fault). I assumed they came out of the mould ready to go, and assumed that "clean up" meant 5 mins rub down with some fine sand paper, but there is in fact a a significant amount of work involved including hours and hours of bondo, sand, bondo sand, bondo, sand, etc. And it's all done by hand, no machines. So my apologies to Mardon for having got it so wrong, and to the rest of you for getting hopes up. Entirely my mistake!
Updates to follow when available.
Well, here's the pic. Enjoy:

::Update - 31 October 2003::
Just had another quick chat with Mardon. It’s late there and he won’t get anything further done on this today, so rather than wait for the “clean” pics, I thought I’d post the “straight out of the mould” pics to update.
I’ll post the cleaned up pics once I get them, probably tomorrow.
Ok, what you can see in pic 1 is the RotJ version, minus barrel fins, scope mounts and greeblies. The fins, mounts and greeblies will all be included of course.
What you see in pics 2 is how it comes. In 3 parts for ease of shipping, transport and storage. Barrel(s), body and stock. You can also see the ESB barrel there too.
The barrels are “plug ins” so they can be interchangeable. Separate barrels will be available if you want one of each version without the expense of having to buy 2 separate blasters. The greeblie sets will also be available separately for the same reason.
The greeblies will come loose so you stick ‘em where you want ‘em, permanently or semi-permanently (in case you want to switch between versions).
They will be in black Gel-coat and black paint. I think the RotJ barrel fins will be attached, but I await confirmation of that. Scope mounts will be attached.
Better pics tomorrow. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy these. Any questions, post or PM them.
Here are the pics:

Hi All,
Well, after a bit of a delay, my Webley & Scott stock finally made it to Mardon. It got there this morning (14 August) and here are the progress pics so far

2. Oppi - RotJ
3. Hansoloway - RotJ

Greetings all.
Firstly, I'm at work so this'll be brief.
I'm grinning like an idiot typing this as I've been trying to work out how to get this off the ground since I first got to know MLC. :D
Here's the story. Your friendly FG wizard and I, along with another member who is more than welcome to chime in if he would like, have been knocking around this idea for a while.
The idea was that MLC could scratchbuild a mock up of the RotJ EE-3, bondo it etc (You know how he operates by now, surely ;) ), but he wanted an original webley to cast, or alternatively, an original stock, D ring and grip, as these are the trickiest parts for him and he wanted at least one original part for sizing reference. The other Member and I have been trying to get hold of one for a while with no success.
I am now pleased to say that through a friend of mine, who knows an antique arms dealer close to where I live, I have got hold of an original Webley and Scott Stock, D ring and Pistol grip, as found on the infamous Mk1 flare rifle and various other W&S pieces. Like I said, I'm at work, but will post pics when I'm home.
I've spoken to MLC and he is confident that with this stock assembly and all the visual references available he'll be able to create a FG RotJ EE-3 blaster. He will cast my stock assembly and also use it to get the correct sizing and scale reference for the remainder which he will scratchbuild. I daresay he might also use it to help with an ESB EE-3, but that's his choice along with anyone that's helping him with it, and I'll let them expand on that if necessary in the appropriate thread. I'm fine with this :), but it's just not my place to comment on it.
This, then, is the interest thread for a fully FG MLC RotJ Blastech EE-3.
We have no firm idea as to price, yet, but you should all know MLC tries to keep the cost as reasonable as he can. Having spoken to him, though, he did say that with all the detail (barrell fins, etc) it might be a bit labor intensive. The price may or may not be better than currently available kits. This project is not intended to be a replacement for them, simply an alternative. Remember, it's FG through and through so if you prefer a heavier, real feeling, version, resin's the way to go. If you want a lightweight, very robust alternative, this might be of interest. I't won't be any MORE accurate than others as it's a found part and we all know what it looks like, but it will be AS accurate. I'm sure there will be plenty of progress pics as we go along
Early information suggests you should get everything you need, with the exception of the sight. This would be too fiddly to do cheaper than you can buy them anyway, and it wouldn't be a working sight, so it seems sensible to leave this out.
We're toying with the idea of a moving trigger, but this may increase the complexity of the work and therefore the price. Your thoughts on the trigger would be welcome.
OK guys and girls. Who's interested? No commitments at this stage, we're just seeing if it's viable. availablity and pricing will follow when we can.
Oh, and when we're done making the molds, I'll be selling the Stock assembly. I'll accept offers of what I paid for it now (PM or mail for details), but if there are none, it'll go off to ebay.
Cheers. (Still grinning, madly - must get back to work!)

Re: MLC Fibreglass RotJ Blastech EE-3 *interest thread*
I'm interested for the ROTJ EE-3 but with no working trigger.
I hope this project lift's up since I dont have a blaster yet.

Re: MLC Fibreglass RotJ Blastech EE-3 *interest thread*
i would be interested greatly pending price. As i am doing jango the EE-3 would just be a prop for display for me

Geoff,
There might be an ESB version sometime soon, but this is strictly RotJ only at the moment dude. Sorry.

I started off thinking I'd just do a couple of sentences. Ended up 20 mins later looking over my shoulder every other word and using Alt-tab like a madman!
Brief update. There might be an ESB version in the works too if there's the interest levels, so Geoff - looks like we might be able to help you out after all buddy!
Should get pics of my stock up tonight.

Re: *STOCK PICS* MLC FG RotJ Blaster *interest thread*
OK, the pics are up at the top now, so go see.
What would be of great assistance is if anyone with an original webley could provide precise and detailed measurements of barrel length, and external diameter, along with any measurements of the body (height, width, length) etc.
Help in this will help create a very accurate ESB blaster. We're also after dimensions of the barrel clamps, or details as to what they are if they are now found.
Most of the RotJ blaster will be down to MLC with his trusty ruler, exacto and card stock, and once this is rolling, we'll get pics up of what's been acheived, then invite critiques, so we get as accurate as we can.
We'll have more of an idea of price once MLC has the stock and his workers have an idea of what is involved in making the blaster, which they can't get until MLC has created the card and bondo master. I'll be shipping the stock this weekend, so watch this space!

Re: *STOCK PICS* MLC FG RotJ Blaster *interest thread*

Re: *STOCK PICS* MLC FG RotJ Blaster *interest thread*
Just another heads up, but I finally managed to get my Real World Webley Grips, thanks to a fellow Fetthead and will be having it shipped to Mardon, if there is an interest for having FG mods for the MLC ROTJ Blaster. An alternative if you want both grips instead of the one.
Here they are:
http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-...7/MVC-015F.JPG
One of the wild ideas Si, Mardon and me were throwing around was using this base Webley Flare pistol and having Mardon mold over it, with help from measurements taken off the Real World Webley.
As is, I'm trying to locate one here in Singapore from the old British Historical Camps/Museum. Longshot I know but my Sis, who's an Art/Histories Curactor here is/am helping me out. :)

Re: *PROGRESS PICS* MLC FG RotJ Blaster *interest thread*
i'm interested in an ROTJ version. Skip the working trigger, though. That's alot of work for nothing, I think.

Re: *PROGRESS PICS* MLC FG RotJ Blaster *interest thread*
Pending price I am definately in on this one.
RTOJ for me.
Also, I think a working trigger is not too important.
-
Re: *PROGRESS PICS* MLC FG RotJ Blaster *interest thread*
Hey guys!
Yepper - this project is definitely a go!! :) We would be building a Webley base gun first before tackling any ESB/ROTJ details & greebles.
We're looking at a plug in barrel, so making a ESB or ROTJ wont be a problem.
We've also removed any plans on either making the trigger or hammer move - useless cost anyway.
Pls. stay tuned as we'll show more progress pics as the project develops :)
Mardon

Re: *PROGRESS PICS* MLC FG RotJ Blaster *interest thread*

Re: *PROGRESS PICS* MLC FG RotJ Blaster *interest thread*
Once Mardon's up and ready to go sign me up for one of these puppies, ESB style.

Re: *PROGRESS PICS* MLC FG RotJ Blaster *interest thread*
HH,
You mentioned a 'plug-in' barrel. Would this allow us to break-down the rifle into two sections for storage and travel?
-
Re: *PROGRESS PICS* MLC FG RotJ Blaster *interest thread*
BatNinja,
That's affirmative. :) Last time we talked about it, the idea was to also allow you the option of switching blaster types, the best of both worlds if you will. :D
Ideas may have changed since I last talked to Mardon and Si but I'm pretty sure I'm right. If not, HH will correct me. ;)
Stay safe.
Tim.
-
Re: *PROGRESS PICS* MLC FG RotJ Blaster *interest thread*
Yeah, Tim's pretty much got it there. The idea is to have a plug in barrell, like the rocket on the MLC J/pack for those that have seen them. This is for ease of transport/storage, but does theoretically mean you could get both seperate barrells and have a variable blaster. Obviously gun body and stock greeblies would be different.
Si
-
Re: *PROGRESS PICS* MLC FG RotJ Blaster *interest thread*
Put me down also pending price for and ROTJ. Also HH you have mail.

Re: *PROGRESS PICS* MLC FG RotJ Blaster *interest thread*

Re: *PROGRESS PICS* MLC FG RotJ Blaster *interest thread*
I hope to have a significant update very soon. we're waiting on a couple of final greeblies and doo dads to mould, then Mardon will scratchbuild any we are short on and there should then follow an FG pull.
Apologies for the delay here. All beyond our control unfortunately.
Stick with it. It'll be worth it.

Re: *PROGRESS PICS* MLC FG RotJ Blaster *interest thread*
I havent followed this thread to closely but was am interested and was wondering if the stock of the gun will be wood or fiberglass?
-
Re: *PROGRESS PICS* MLC FG RotJ Blaster *interest thread*
The stock will be FG.
My wooden stock is possibly for sale for the right price, though, once it's finished being moulded.
Still chasing up the missing bits. Nearly there.....

Re: *PROGRESS PICS* MLC FG RotJ Blaster *interest thread*
Si,
Heads up! Some of the ESB Greeblies are heading Mardon's way. :)
Stay safe.

-
Re: *PROGRESS PICS* MLC FG RotJ Blaster *interest thread*
Just out of curiousity, not that I'm being picky, or impatient... or annoying (right?) but what would be a safe ballpark estimate of these being ready to ship? I just wanted to know if I should throw something together for Halloween and expect this afterwards.
No pressure at all......Well, not intentionally anyway.
Thanks,
Geoffett
-
Re: *PROGRESS PICS* MLC FG RotJ Blaster *interest thread*
Difficult question to answer. If I got the bits I'm waiting for tomorrow, I'd say we could get things going and have plenty of time before halloween to get them made and shipped.
As it's beyond my control when I receive the bits, I simply can't guarantee they'll be ready. As soon as I have any news, or receive the bits, I'll be sure to post. I am chasing the supplier of said parts daily, and it's getting a bit tedious. I paid for them nearly a month ago and still no sign. No response from e-mail for a few days now either! I'm not concerned as yet, just frustrated.
So sorry I can't be more definite. Not at all annoying of you to ask, and no pressure taken.

Re: *PROGRESS PICS* MLC FG RotJ Blaster *interest thread*
Brief update.
Sincere apologies for the delay. I am waiting on replacement grips, as the one on my stock is a little damaged and I want it to be perfect.
I had a supplier lined up, paid for them a month and a half ago. After a barrage of excuses regarding delays, I am now being ignored, so I am trying to source them elsewhere. I have a couple of leads and am waiting a respoonse from another supplier. Once I have this, it'll be all systems go. All we're waiting for is the grips. Very frustrating!
I'll keep you posted!
Sorry again.
Si
-
I'm a jerk and I know it!
It's been a couple weeks and I thought I'd check in to see where these are at as far as production. Hope you are all doing well.
Thanks,
Geoff
P.S. What side of the pond are these coming from?
-
Re: *PROGRESS PICS* MLC FG RotJ Blaster *interest thread*
After a resounding silence from all the various grip suppliers I have tried, I have decided to ask Mardon to try and fix up the grip I already have and see if it is possible to get a good mould from that.
I'm expecting a progress report very soon. Hopefully tomorrow.
Watch this space!
::Edit - They will be shipping from the philippines. Final details to be confirmed once we are ready to go::
Si
-
Re: *PROGRESS PICS* MLC FG RotJ Blaster *interest thread*
I would be interested in one ESB style depending on price.
-
Re: *PROGRESS PICS* MLC FG RotJ Blaster *interest thread*
Ok, had a chat with Mardon. He's spoken to his workers and we've decided that rather than continue indefinitely waiting for a response from grip companies, we'll work with what we've got. Mardon's worker can fix the grip up and once he has, we'll get cracking on moulding one of these puppies.
Mardon is pretty busy at the moment, what with real world job plus armour runs, etc., so we'll have to join the queue for his and his workers valuable time, but it is moving forwards.
Si
::Edited for spelling::
-
Re: *PROGRESS PICS* MLC FG RotJ Blaster *interest thread*
Si,
Sorry about the grip letdown. I tried hitting a few Online Stores for the accurate ones but they didn't see fit to reply...oh well.
Stay safe.
Tim.
-
Re: *PROGRESS PICS* MLC FG RotJ Blaster *interest thread*
Being that the real grips were made in 1916, your chances of finding a surplus of them may be pretty slim. If you do, you only need the right sides anyway. They cast pretty easily from what I have seen, in both resin and bronze.
-
Re: *PROGRESS PICS* MLC FG RotJ Blaster *interest thread*
BF,
Thats understandable but we were looking for replacement REPLICA grips. Close enough to the original but without the wear & tear. :D
Thanks anyways.
Stay safe.
Tim.
-
Re: *PROGRESS PICS* MLC FG RotJ Blaster *interest thread*
Thanks for looking anyway, Tim.
I must have tried the same on-line stores as yourself. Again, no replies.
So annoying as I have bought and paid for a set from reprogrip.com, but they haven't arrived and my e-mails are now being ignored.
Beacause I'm a nice guy, I didn't complain to paypal until after the 30 days and they therefore won't look at it. They just log the situation in their file. :(
Mardon has said he can use the existing grip after a bit iof fixing up, so we're going ahead with that. Mardon's pretty busy with the whole armour thing and a bunch of real life stuff at the moment, but I'm sure he'll update me as soon as he is able.

Re: *PROGRESS PICS* MLC FG RotJ Blaster *interest thread*
Oh boy do I have an update in the pipeline on this.
Mardon has sent me a pic of the first raw pull and it looks sweet!
I'm waiting for a couple of pics once it's had a wash and brush up, then I'll post 'em here.
::Edit:: - Oh, and in case you were wondering, I am keeping an up to date list off line (easier when getting interest from a variety of sources) so if you notice your name is conspicuous by it's absence from the list here, worry not. I'll also to a roll call once final details are up, in order to update the interest list and then the sign up/pay up list.

Question, is the stock going to be a separate part, if so, that is very nice.
-
Re: *PROGRESS PICS - 11/03/03* MLC FG Blaster
Thanks Juan.
Yes, the stock will be seperate. It'll come like this (but only one barrel):
http://200.72.163.179/cdref/tdh/Blas...r[2].2.jpg
so you can either attach the stock permanently, or arrange a removaeable option for ease of transport/storage. Your choice.
More to follow as and when I get it.
We are working on the final greeblie (centre stock plate on the ESB version). We're receiving some great help from a couple of eminent ESBers (Thanks guys!) May have some questions to put to the forum depending on what further info we can get, then it's full steam ahead!
Watch this space!

Thanks Ruffkintoy
It's theoretically possible, but I'm not sure. Leave it with me and I'll see what can be done ;)

Re: ** IT'S DONE! ** MLC FG RotJ AND ESB Blaster Rifle
Hey guys!
I just wanna convey my heartfelt thanks to your nice words & comments towards our project - special thanks also goes to those who PM'd & e-mailed me directly.
Just wanted to let you all know that this project belongs to Si (Han Hunter) who underwrote everything! Its his baby and its his project entirely - I'm just the lowly worker :)
I'm sure Si & I would like to thank most of all those who have helped us thru this project - giving us ideas & advice as it helped us to make this project a reality. Without you guys, this project is nothing. To those who have sent us "found" greeblies - thank you so much! It sped up everything!
Thanks again to everyone!

Re: ** IT'S DONE! ** MLC FG RotJ AND ESB Blaster Rifle
Whats all included/not included with a ROTJ blaster?? and what is the cost looking to be now that they are done>?

Re: ** IT'S DONE! ** MLC FG RotJ AND ESB Blaster Rifle
Mardon - Worker, yes, Lowly?! Never! Thanks for all your efforts. I know how hard you've worked on this and the sacrifices you've made with your time.
Everyone else - We're pretty much near the end of development. You'll have seen some questions asked and perhaps noticed the answers conspicuous by their absence. I am being discreet with this. All questions have been answered by PM. If you have any questions, Post or PM them to me and I'll get back to you by PM as soon as I can.
Sorry I can't post more details publicly. Believe me it would be much easier, but I'm sure you understand! I'm being courteous to those on high.
Nearly there!

Stay safe buddy.

Could you pm us with the price for the ESB blaster also HH.
We are poor and probably won't be able to buy it but we still really want to thank everyone who helped with this project. We apreciate all the work you all have done. This IS the type of stuff that makes TDH Great.
Hats off to you guys. :cheers

Either the ESB or ROTJ blaster will come to you in 4 separate components:
1. Barrel
2. Gun body with "D" ring stock
3. Wooden stock
4. Set of Greeblies
All the components above are made of fiberglass. The wooden stock is gelcoated in d.brown color while all the rest is in black color. Each one of you will have to adhere/glue these components together and naturally glue all the greeblies to your desired position.
ROTJ Greeblies:
2- scope mounts
2- gun chamber greeblies
4- stock greeblies
ESB Greeblies:
2- barrel housings that include the scope mounts
4- 6 hole connector greeblies
2- under-housing clamps
2- V-8 gun chamber greeblie
6- stock greeblies
For ROTJ, you will have to provide your own scope - while ESB would have to provide the scope and Heiland Flash tube.
Please take note that while the blaster comes in 4 components, it doesnt mean you just snap together the barrel & wooden stock then go trooping - its still best to glue those components together as you dont want them to fall off accidentally :)
The option of the barrel being interchangeable is all up to you - just make sure its a tight fit.
The only reason we made 'em separate is to make it easier in shipping or finding a smaller box.
Additional note:
The ROTJ barrel will have all the fins attached already, while the ESB will have a smooth & tapered barrel.
The ESB barrel housings have been compensated for this tapering in order for your scope to be straight & level. We provided 2 housing sizes (different diameters) and also 2 different under-housing clamps.
Lastly, please take note that these are all "hand-made", so a tiny bit of sanding might still be required. Only the ESB barrel is a bit harder to assemble 'coz there's a lot of greeblies to attach and align. But dont fret, you can have a ready to go blaster in less than an hour upon receiving it :)
