Boba blaster questions

[triplespeed]

Hi all,

Im scavenging all the parts I need for building Bobas ROTJ blaster and so far I have :

Some nice wood for the stock,
a sheet of aluminium for the stock components,
a replica colt pistol for the body,
a black funnel to make the barrel exit port,
various pipes from doing a few random plumbing jobs.

What I'm after is the T rail that goes round the barrel and I cannot find the length of the fins (how far they stick out of the barrel) and where could I buy the rail bearing in mind I'm in England.

Secondly does anyone have a template for the metal parts on the stock - ones a rectangle with a circle inside and the other is keyhole shaped. I'd be most grateful for the help.

This is my first blaster build and I don't want to make a right hash of it

For the T-rail, I'm pretty sure someone around here sells it.

As an alternative, I plan to cut up my plastic rake now that I'm done raking leaves. The underside of the rake has t-track that's pretty close.

If you find any sellers of the greeblies etc. let me know. I'm just starting my EE-3 build also.

Thank you for the info - I'll check out all the plastic rakes in the hardware stores and take a look.

With the greeblies I was planning to make them out of plastic but I'll need a plan first. If I get stuck I will go for my best guess.

Any info I get I'll share it on a build thread

I saw that MLS sells a greeblie kit on eBay with the T-track. I PM'd him about it. I'll let you know if he gets back to me.

Cool, I'd be interested to see what the response is.

I found a photo from here on an old post regarding the blaster fins:

I hope it helps
