Blaster ROTJ Recipe

[Ripcode]

How long is the blaster? Could you measure the entire length?

Also, could you measure the section of the barrel that has the t-tracks?

I'm curious to see if this is an accurate length.

 

[Caomhanach]

Man, so how much ?

Man, this post keeps getting better and more interesting... Like RS said.."How much..." or more importantly when are you going to start selling?

The tube bit between where the webley ends and the fins start is approx 3", the finned bit is approx 8" and the total length is just under 30.5" I scaled it off a bigger version of the pic below.

PM me for details etc.

the total length is just under 30.5"

which is just about exactly the length of my sci-fire one. 2 people coming up with the same number definitely lends credibility to that number.

hrm... i'll be back at the museum all weekend. i should bring a tape measure

I'll go home and check.

The bomb rack greeblie is a known part. Once you know the size of that, you can scale the correct length of the entire blaster. I'm pretty sure the Sci-Fire, which I also have, is too short.

According to MR the length of the blaster is going to be 32 5/8 long.

 

[Sidewinder]

It's not that its too short, its the carbine version.

interesting...

i'll try to get a side by side shot of mine and the one in the case tomorrow. the scaling will be a bit off since it will be about 3" in front of the one in the case, but it should be easy enough to tell a difference of 2 inches at that distance.

Here's a quick (& crapy) layover. The green is the original blaster, & the blue is a sci-fire blaster. The length seems to be a little short, & on the original it looks as if the stock has been trimed down a bit.

Barrels of laughs:
(2nd pic shows replication of detail)

Most impressive! Will the barrel slide over the Webley, I mean how is it connected?

 

[Sidewinder]

In that pic its all one piece, the webley bit and the barrel.

Here's a pic with all the parts glued/screwed together, needs a bit of filler here 'n' there and then its paint time.

Isn't there a ridge greeblie between the two rings on the barrel - like in the picture above?


right under the two knobs of the scope...

[Sidewinder]

I do have molds for all the ROTJ parts now, (apart from the two little fins on the sides of the ringed tube) so I could do if there was any interest.
