We all know this extraordinary fine piece of greatly honed skills, the Master Replica. Covered under a huge amount of high quality paint. :ohwell
You may have noticed, i´m not the typical MR customer, who might be happy with their products (to be honest, i never was with any of the items i had, could hold and inspect). But as this is next to the only game in town ...... well, yeah..... it´s better than most/any of the resin-kits i know.
It was a long and hard journey, but today this arrived:
I was feeling as a child on chrismas Eve when opening it
Again the same game as with the Ruger (for Greedos blaster), it is next to impossible to find a deactivated one - i assume these small .22 target guns are "not cool enough" to be decorative for non-shooters. If you have a permission to have them, you can grab these guns dead cheap, under 100€/150$ - if not you have to add additional 300€/450$ for machining/disabling + control and governmental stamping to be a official deactivated gun.
It´s a beauty, great condition.
Atm i´m thinking to make it the Endor version, and keep the MR as ANH version
Damn, you can bet i´m a happy Licht.
More to follow as soon as i make progress on it.  _________________ Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side.

Ouch, this thread was quiet for over one year.
But nothing that had been started is ever really forgotten.
Today i decided to start working on this blaster again - i machined the flashhider and parted it from the round alu rod
Then it was chucked again (the paper saves the ready surface from marks when tightening the chuck), to machine the other end:
I threaded the end, and tapped the pistols barrel
Not that bad
Having enough free time today, i decided to make the grill, too.
With my mill still out of order i wasn´t able to mill the grill, so i had no chance to finish it, just sliding it on the barrel for the pic
Thanks for watching.  _________________ Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side.

And it only took another year to get the next step made.
Milled the cutouts
Then some Birchwood Alu Black, followed by semigloss black
Preparing the bumpons
And with glued bumpons
For the moment i call it "done"
When i get the bigger version of the adjustment screw of the rear sight (the disc shaped one) i will change that.
What i´m still unsure about is the grill - i ordered a box of real parts, but they are plastic, off course. Not sure if i will leave it alu but replica, or use the real but plastic ones later.  _________________ Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side.
