Boba Fett Supertrooper Automatic Blaster​

Over the years I have collected parts here and there to someday build a Supertrooper blaster. Well that time is here and here's what I’m starting with. The building has started so I hope to update as often as possible. Please chime in if something doesn’t look right, thanks

Looking good.

I know those pin stripe graflex flashguns are hard to find. I lucked out finding one that was stripped by a lightsaber builder.

I scratch built the aluminium control pannel. Was about the hardest part to make.

Everything looks great so far! From what I see there, you miss the Glenross dental expansion screw which was glued/screwed to the aluminum plate:



I know we have talked about the 3 clear parts, but I will need the following measurement to have a starting point for the size of the items:



There is another missing piece on the aluminum plate, which is part of the MQ-1 calculator, but it is hard to tell which part; I think this is the best candidate (you'll have to cut down the lower half part):



Can't wait to see more of this build!

Here you are spot on in my opinion Levi. I believe I have a theory that proves your hunch.

This area I have circled, clearly is glue residue we know this, but upon closer inspection this glue residue is a perfect match when compared to the back of the MQ-1 "Reset" piece's back or flat area.


Another finding I think is interesting if you line up the "Reset-MQ-1" piece with the glue marks the drill hole we see on the far right is visible. I physically placed the MQ-1 Reset piece on the screen and again the hole and the glue marks are a perfect match.


Drill hole on the far right .................... opening where drill hole would be visible. ?


Adding more pics of this MQ-1 Reset piece

Great! Thanks for the measurements and the extra images for the MQ-1 piece. Thanks to you I was able to guesstimate the correct MQ-1 part, as you had plenty images with the calculator disassembled in your Pre-Pro #2 thread.

I have played a bit with the images and measurements you posted and I managed to do this:



If you look closer, the lower part of the aluminum plate frame is sanded down, because the plate has around 22mm and not 20mm as you have in your image:



Will see what can I do regarding the 3 clear parts.

now that is cool. Never seen those extra parts on the aluminium control plate before. Think I need a couple of small upgrades to mine now

Yeah Man, Levi’s image should be added to the gallery! I too have never seen that detail on the aluminum panel or control faceplate. Its clearly has the same size and shape on the Glenross expansion part

Disassembled the UZI, removed all unnecessary parts.

Cutting time, removed the top curved parts of the body.


and here it is cleaned up and the clip cut to fit correctly for SuperTrooper Blaster

Assembled the side greeblies using the Paterson Chemical Stirrer, Michell Engineering Spike and the Rotring Sec-O-Mat. I used JB weld to glue it all together.

Cut the flash tube to correct length


Added flat black paint.


painted the rear release trigger white two or three times the a coat or two with bright red nail polish

Made the top / cover removable and added rare earth magnets to hold it on. Also fabricated the side sunk in area using sintra
