The next phase will be to create drawings of the scope, ESB extension tube, ROTJ barrel and all of the greebies for both versions. If anyone has detailed pictures and rough dimensions for the V-8 parts that you can send me it would be a great help. I think I have enough information for the rest of the stuff, but time will tell.

Final phase will be to completely dimension all of the components.

As always constructive criticism and feedback is encouraged.

Thank you fettcicle and Sidewinder (of the RPF) for providing the pictures and the dimensions that have been instrumental in the creation these drawings.

Beautiful drawings! I own a Webley and you really did it justice. I didn't actually expect you to go so far as to dimension the individual components and working mechanisms.

So do I understand that you didn't have one of these in your hand when you did the drawings? If so, that is even more impressive!

I can't wait to see the additional drawings!

Mark

Thank you. These drawings are done completely through the use of photos, several dimensions and descriptions of the various operations generously contributed by [/color]fettcicle and Sidewinder. I have never held a Webley and at the current price of $1200 for an original I most likely never will. I have toyed with the idea of trying to locate a bronze one, but I’ve heard that they are few and far between these days. Now with the drawings I’m planning to build my own.

The goal is to have set of drawings with enough detail to be able to build a working Webley from scratch. It’s been sometime since I have done shop drawings so that part of the project may take a while, but I want to get the add-ons done before I start that phase.

Alan

wow truely amazing...i appreciate your work as well as i admire it. when these are finished it will be truely remarkable. with these i should have no problem making a welby myself.

Regards from the-Dark-Knight-

:D cewl! gonna use these for my rough fett gun!! thnx alot.

am i correct that if i want to print them 1:1 in paint, i need to shrink em down to
59, 3 % of the format?

thnx, Rick

I'll have to check on that. When the GIFs were created I just choose a resolution large enough to capture the details.

Alan

i used that pic of TK-409's measurements, wich is a rotj kit, and toke a piece thats basicly just teh webley and after a calculation i got to the conclusion i had to shrink it to 59,3....

:) ill check back later

These are fantastic. I'm just getting started on building a new blaster. I'll definately be using these. thanks for sharing.

Bump for the new guys out there.

Alan

I highly suggest these templates, I used them for my blaster and it is coming together beautifully!

I'm confused how I can get these to print to scale. I only have access to Photoshop 7.0. If I change the DPI to 200%, the image becomes huge. Never mind printing at 390%.

Wizard, is there any way to add a small scale legend to each image so we can scale these properly for printing?

Thanks!

Eric

One other piece of information that might help is that the length of the barrel is 10.55 inches from the back of the breach to the ent of the barrel.

I have just ordered a casting of an original Webley from Sidewinder (check it out the cargohold http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/showthread.php?t=10871 and it was only $145 shipped) and as soon as I have my hot little hands on it I will be updating the drawings as need. Once they have been revised I will be reposting them and I promise to include a scale this time.

Alan

WOF i was wondering if there was anyway to get a template for making the concave area on the chamber,?

Sorry I didn't respond sooner. I just recieved a Webley casting today From Sidewinder and I will be comparing it to the drawings this weekend. I will make sure to include some section veiws of the chamber area.

Alan

I have compared Sidewinder’s casting to my drawings and for a few very minor misses the drawings are nearly dead on, but they will be revised to match the casting. It is just cool to be able to see how close I was able to get just using pictures as a reference. I tried to show my wife, but she just walked away shaking her head.

So stay tuned updated drawings are on the way and I will include a scale maybe a 1” grid as well

That would rock! Thanks!

Any grid or scale? I cant get this printed right :doh

I am working on a revised set of blueprints that will include both a scale and a grid.

Alan

I have updated the drawings in the first post. I recently bought a casting of a real Webley from Sidewinder and from that I made some adjustments to the drawings and this time I added a scale and a 1” grid to make scaling easier.

Enjoy.

Alan

Thank you,that grid really helped me out,not to mention the drawings :lol

The Webley drawings are back on line.

Alan

Great news that you've now adjusted your drawings based on a cast Webley.

Good work Alan. :thumbsup

Steve

Time for another Bump!

who knows what those original split plugs that were used on the stock are really called? i'm trying to find originals, but none of the words i searched for bring up anything on the net. i found an old thread here where someone had ordered a bunch. but i can't find an accurate name for those...

Thanks a lot for your work alan !

nice drawings

Awesome job Alan! I can't wait to see your scope, ROTJ barrel and greeblie drawings. :thumbsup

These are fantastic pal well done!!!

This may be a noob question, but what is the best material to use for this replica?

I'd say Probably Sintra or a rigid plastic....

Errr...dont mean to sound dumb, but i dont remeber Fett using this...can someone plz help me clarify? sry

This is the flare gun that Fett's ESB and ROTJ rifles were built from.

M

Ahhhh...so its not the one he uses when he's hunting bounties? are there templates for that? i dont know the name of that blaster. Btw, anyone know when i can use "The Sarlacc Pit" part of the forums?

Has this link ever been found/posted again?

the links in the first post are still working and active.

Here is the thread for the greebies blueprints
http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/showt...tes-Blueprints

Alan

Impressive work! Are you sharing the CAD-files as well? I just built a CNC router and thought I'd get started with my sons costume.

/Mike

Wow! this looks good when will you be starting your build? i will try to make one, the frame will be made by flattening pvc pipe with a heat gun and gluing it together while cutting the space for the internals.. ill post you some pics if you'd like.. this looks awesome! the blueprints look dead on.. thanks again

Your research and detail is very impressive. Thanks for all your work. Tell me, from your research have you ever come across reference pics of the left side or inside of the ESB EE3 and whether or not the V8 arm/cog lever is also present on that side of the gun? I haven't been able to find anything definitive on that in my searches.
Cheers.

Sadly, Alan haven't posted lately so I will try to answer your questions. From the few images that I found it seems that in the Executor Bridge scene the inner side of the stock had the same setup as the outer side, but positioned slightly closer to the grip:

Attachment 67219

In the Interrogation Door to Elevator scene is hard to say if the inner piece (the one that is close to the grip) is already missing or not:

Attachment 67220 Attachment 67221 Attachment 67222

In the Carbon Chamber scene that piece is missing or at least it seems missing:

Attachment 67223

You the man Raf. Thanks for the pics. I never noticed the open left gauntlet from the gantry set either. Yeah, I see how greeblies seem to be missing. I suppose its that whole issue of the rented props with their removable/temporary greebs being lost during production. Makes the whole idea of movie accuracy kind of tricky. Thanks again.

i love this thread
thank you all for your hard work
