My first attempt at uploading photos to TDH.... I'm new to TDH, although I've been reading the posts since September 2004 and building a Fett costume. I'll have the gloves done (the last piece of the puzzle) done in a day or two.
Attached is are two photos of my home made blaster.
Construction is:
Rifle butt: scrap chunk of 2x6 pine
Pistol piece: scrap piece of 1x6 pine
Barrel: 2 inch dia PVC, 14 inches long
Barrel cooling fins: 1/4 square, ripped from 1/4 aircraft plywood
scope: 5/8" dowel rod
"metal connection" between the butt and the pistol handle: 1/4 aircraft ply
Painted in flat black, little bit of grey primer, and silver paint for damage.
Total cost: $6 for paint, everything else was in my scrap bin in the garage
Total time to build: about three hours, including waiting for the paint to dry.
Sure, it's no Webley... but I think it does the job well enough.
