GCN's ESB Blaster Progress

[GCNgamer128]

hello everyone! I just bought all of the crap from Wal-Mart to start building a blaster. The stock was a piece of wood that I had cut at school in the 3D drill.

Here's the PVC pipe getting cut and prepped up for the revolver to be fitted in. The PVC was cut at 10".

You know...every can of Bondo (a car body filler) I have ever bought has been dented

BTW what is a 3D drill?

I used an X-Acto to remove the orange piece from the toy gun, then I used basic AMAZING GOOP glue to stick this sucker in the PVC pipe.

A 3D drill is a big big drill that takes objects in 3D on the computer and machines them into whatever object it can make. It can only go 2D though, since it can not pivot.

I just stick the piece of wood in, and when I had the object in CAD I just had it cut the piece of wood using a drill bit. I sanded the edges so it would be rounded.

Here are some more photos of how the toy gun fit into the PVC barrel.

...If you used a CAD Drawing to cut something in wood...I *think* you may mean CNC Router...not 3D drill.
Very cool, can't wait to see more progress pics.

Hi, I have done the same thing...........and I think it´s a good way to make a cheap and good looking blaster....

 

[mandaloresa]

That's awesome!!!!!!! I'm going out right now to get the parts.

 

[MandalorFett]

Wow, that looks good so far. Keep us up to date.

if someone needs more info in how I built this, tell me.............this thing cost it´s no more than 10dls

Meh, I don't know what the thing is called. We call it the "Big Ass Murder Machine," because we stick rulers in there and other random crap just to destroy. But when our superiors are around we call it the 3D drill .

That's a nice blaster! But yours is the ROTJ style, it's not too different, the scope is mounted differently and the barrel is different. The ROTJ has a cooler design, but I don't want to go too far outside of my costume style.

I hope my tutorial helps! Are you going to make the ROTJ or ESB style? This blaster progress should help you either way you choose.

Unfortunately the toy gun I bought came with a partner, I don't know what to do with the other. I have enough parts to make a second blaster, I might build one and sell the blaster cheap in the Cargo Hold. I'm not in this hobby to make money So you might see a "Buy it now" $30 blaster in the cargo hold in time.

This is where I think to myself... What did I get myself in to?

 

[drokkul]

Mmmmnn...Bondo fumes and dust. I have probably accidentally inhaled my fair share of both during this project.

Fortunatleyslsa its hast ton azfecteed em in saniys wayzes...:wacko

Can't wait to see how the breach area turns out!

 

[GCNgamer128]

With some creative trimming of an x-acto, here it is. I do need to re-add the bottom part which I cut off, the sight on the back, the depression in the part I cut out, and the little knob thing infront of the trigger. There are some parts that I need to fill in, some parts were too thin for the thickness I was aiming at. I also plan to fill in the barrel a little with the bondo. I don't want people do see a toy gun when they look down the barrel!

 

[GCNgamer128]

Here's a little update on my gun, I fixed up some Bondo and primed it in red, the a coat in aluminum, and a coat in black

...looks familiar ... lol!

Hah, yes! Did you get the middle piece that connects the gun to the stock yet? You also need the blocks that keep the scope standing, I will probably make those myself.
