First Prop (Just a Kenner Conversion)

[miket723]

Well, I just finished my first prop, and thought I'd see what everybody here thinks of it. It's not much, just a Kenner blaster conversion, but I think it came out looking pretty good.

I added a stock that I ripped of an old broken blaster from 78', and then made a new nose piece to look more like the resin replica blasters. (I know, I put it on the wrong way! Duh.) For the slot on the right side that is silver on the movie blasters, I formed a piece of tin and sanded it to look like brushed steel. Then just glued it on. A few changes to the scope, a D ring added in the back, and then paint and dry brushing. The sound and red light still work, and overall I'm pretty happy with it.

I think that looks pretty darn good.

looks great! all you need now is the side clip! you can find one on this board!

That's one of the best Kenner conversions I can remember seeing. Good job. Nice weathering, and that was a pretty good idea with the metal piece in the ejection port.

Thanks all for the compliments! I thought about putting on a side clip but I decided not to for now. I want to be able to holster on the right side. Though I'm thinking about a way to make a removable clip. That way I could have it out when the blaster is holstered (where to keep it?), and then slap it in when preparing to miss the broad side of a barn.
