Discussion on ARC Pistols within the Expanded Universe Bounty Hunters forum, part of the Star Wars Universe category; Here's the newest addition to my armory. I just got
Here's the newest addition to my armory. I just got these beautiful ARC Trooper Pistols in today. I made the master mold myself and then sent it off to Stomper who did a wonderful job in molding it and cast these up in some super durable rubber; comparable to the stuff used in hyperfirm guns. I've only got one picture of mine, but there are also some pics taken of the master prior to being molded

*Check* Yep, I'm gonna need some of those.

thanks for the kind words, guys. I spent a lot of time with screenshots to try and take the undetailed cartoon drawing and make something that looked realistic while still staying as true as possible to the gun seen in the toon
Here are some of the screencaps and reference pics that I used, just to show where I got the details and all that.
Very nice Apollo. Stomper's work is always top notch
awesome job on the blasters!
the episodes with the ARCs were always my favorite

Your just not gonna let my wallet rest, are you?
No problem, mate. Sorry if I came off as a bit pushy but I wasn't sure whether or not you were still interested so I aired on the side of caution
Oh no! I didn't meen it like that! I just meant my wallet is lookin' preety empty!

I just got some more pics of these babies to show off now that my camera has batteries again.
Beautiful ner vod! Can't wait to get mine.
dude all you need now are some holsters
I got a pair in the resin version, and man they are wonderful, worth every penny.
Sweet Myles. Glad to hear you like them
Man you should totally start selling pairs of those I would so buy some. I,ve been triyng to make some myself but no luck yet.
Delta7 over and out.
Those look really great. Great... now I want them...
Those look great! Are you going to do a run?
Check with Stomper....he posted a sale link higher up
Very nice work. But could some lights be added above the trigger to look more like the 4th screenshot?

I think with some skill you could make that mod on the resin ones. I've seen people do much the same thing to a resin RC pistol so I don't see why it wouldn't work. I have always wanted to see someone make that mod so definitely go for it
Cool man, congratualtion for your work!!!!!!!!!!!
You know, I never noticed it before but these look like they were based on the design of the Desert Eagle...
these guns do look sweet but there's no way their related to the desert eagle. desert eagle is big, bulky, and you need to hands to use it. these babies are one handed averaged sized killing machines that just beg to be duel wielded.
I agree that it's almost a necessity to duel wield them, but they are actually fairly large: 14 1/8 inches long. They've gotta be big enough to look proportional to someone in armor
Thanks, everybody, for the praise and encouragement. It really is nice to hear that I succeeded in pulling these off pretty well. I don't have anything to do with production so I'm not totally sure, but I think that Stomper is still taking orders if you want a set or just 1 pistol.

Prices (I am pretty sure these are right):
x1 rubber - $150
x2 rubber - $275
x1 resin - $100
x2 resin - $175
x2 resin is VERY tempting...
what is resin?
WOW that's alot.
Thanks anyway!
Liquid plastic (sort of) It is a 2 part liquid mix used in many applications, most of us here use it to make buckets with 'Resin' and fiberglass. (look at my avatar, it's Resin, glass and bondo)
Simplest explination I could think of
thanks im just new to this stuff
I received a set of these (resin) and I have to say they are top notch.:thumbup
saweet!*Check* Yep, I'm gonna need some of those.
yup.. i want a set... but have to wait for uncle sam to send the ol' tax return to me first.. oh well.. patience is a good thing.. right?
I know I'm resurrecting a pretty old thread, but I saw those pistols and needless to say, I was drooling. lol. I was wondering if they might still be for sale?
ya i have been looking for a pair of ark pistols to does anybody know if stomper is still selling these
ya id like to know to these are kool
I'm wondering if the Fett chest lights would look o.k. on the resin gun. It would save time compared to coming up with something brand new.
Just a thought.
Excellent job on the blasters, you both did a great job.
I made a Leia DCC-Defender blaster out of a toy and spare parts, I'm hoping to get it created in rubber and/or resin. My local group, The Adirondack Outpost, has some talented folks who have done a bit of molding for home projects, so hopefully I can get this done sometime soon. I have since repainted it flat black which makes it look much better. It's not 100 % accurate, but it's nice for trooping.
