Blaster ROTJ Recipe

Here's a pic of all the main parts together.

Woow, looks awesome.

Since I recently got the Webley kit from ebay, I was wondering if you will offer casts of the barrel, the scope and the scopeclamps too.
 
I would be interested in a full kit as well. I don't think it would look right with the cooling fins molded in. IMO they need to be sharp and crisp, as this is what defines the ROTJ blaster. Did you use an o-ring for the mid chamber ring?

I'm thinking of doing a casting of the whole lot as one piece, including the Webley bit seen in the pic. That way I could cast up just the finned/white bit or the whole lot depending on what people want/have already.

There is a handy layout diagram of the rib position on the barrel that I used (Ta whoever). Except it shows the front scope block replacing a section of one rib, whereas I believe it should go between two ribs. The photos of a real prop back this up.

Ribbed for your pleasure (Scope blocks not fixed in place.):

:thumbsup: Your on to something now!:thumbsup:
 
Thanks PW.

If I did do a mold of the barrel with fins, the castings would be exactly the same as the original - painted up you wouldn't see the difference between original and casting.

The narrow ring is just a thin slice of the white pipe split and glued on place.

The large one is a scratchbuild scaled from the small one and the pics of the prop shown.
Should be pretty bang on size-wise. ;)

Wow. I must say that is one of the nicest scratchbuilt large greeblies I have seen so far! :thumbsup:
 
Nawp, so I do get some bubbles like on the top corners of some of the fins - but they're easy to fill. I always try to minimise them by mold design and 'squidging' the mold while the resin is liquid.
