That looks pretty sweet! Could you make a tutorial for me as I'm going to need to make one for my ESB Fett!

 

[DarthBish]

I'm pretty lousy at tutorials....I essentially cut the top off the Zapper with my trusty dremel and fashioned a new one out of Sintra. The barrel is just aluminium tubing, and the "flash nozzel" is the casing off a UHF connector

That's very cool I was thinking of doing the same sort of thing with my old master system light gun ( which does'nt work anymore )

Thanks for the info!

 

[Rednave]

Nice! Great work DarthBish. I saw a few of the old Zappers being sold at the mall a whlile back. I'll have to see if they're still there and pick one up. I especially like the Barrel tip you made, great idea with the UHF connector.

The old Nintendo zappers/light guns are not too bad a price in the second hand games shops now, I saw one for £6.99 yesterday

Its a plastic plug that joins the aerial cable to the TV, any electrical shop will do them.

 

[Jaster Blaster]

your blaster looks really good. I have been wanting to do one also.

 

[shortimer52]

Dose the ROTJ Boba have one of those or is it just ESB?

 

[jodo]

I used one of my zappers for my sling gun, just a little cutting and some PVC and bam, there it was. I need some bondo and paint for it, and after Ill post a pic.

[sithlord23]

thats a great sidearm! Nice work!

 

[RBF]

looks great, but is it screen acc? i mean i thought the side-arm was the sling gun from the pre-pro suits... just a question before i demolish...convert one of my Niny zappers...

 

[sithlord23]

No, pre-pro sling gun is different than the esb sidearm

Do it anyway, have fun with it and be creative .. Great fun

i started working on it this weekend, not going to change much though, ive redone the barrel, but i wont put a ...how you call it... "ring" around my trigger, my gloves are pretty rough and i want to eb able to draw it, especially cause i dont even have a main gun, the EE-3 carbine webley whatever else it was named gun...

i just bought a cheapo western holster that fitted the gun... should have seen teh poor clerks face when i went to fit my gun inside all teh different holsters...

anyways, ill bondi and sand an rough up teh slightly altered zapper an trust my paining skills (wich are i may say, FAR better then my scratch building skills...) to compensate most of my poor buildin skills.

ill post a pic when im finished

why does the 300th figure boba fett have the sling gun as a sidearm, i saw the pics, and you right, it isn't the sling gun in the movies...

and yes it is fun to do this
