I only got interested in props last year so I'm quite new to it. There's loads of things I'd like to make or own and I've got a few projects on the go, SW and non SW. I'm not really going for super accuracy at the moment, just having a go at making a few things and learning. The first thing I made was this ANH Han Solo blaster from a resin kit. I'd like to have an accurate metal one eventually but I'm happy with this for now. Really enjoyed doing it and it didn't cost a fortune.

Mate that is great work, you nailed the paintwork - nicely weathered, really looks the business.
Such an iconic piece of SW and all the better because you made it yourself.
Can't wait to see more of you work/collection

That looks fantastic Rob - really amazing work

Shameless plug here - but if you want a stand for it then I can get you one (personalised as well!) - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Star-Wars-Han-Solo-DL-44-Blaster-acrylic-display-stand-black-base-w-engrave-/261782112344?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cf36e0858

Thanks Iain. I'm not sure it's worthy of a stand!? :lol: To be honest I'm not precious with it, it just sits on the DVD's and I play around with it when I'm watching films. If and when I get round to doing or buying a metal one I'll get back to you, will prob need a stand for that 8)

Edit: I changed the title of this thread because I think it's better to have a different thread for each item/project than one thread for all. Unless it's a showcase of all of someones work or prop collection (like Grinchys) I think it makes more sense. You will then be able to search for a particular prop you're interested in or discuss a certain prop in that thread because it will have the prop name in the thread title. Just an idea. What do people think?

That looks brilliant mate 8)

Was this a full resin kit, or one of the kits to add to a rubies blaster?

Looks brill, and the paint/ weathering is spot on

Thanks Mike. It's a full resin kit from someone called Doopydoos, he sells them on ebay. When it arrives it's in several parts and looks like this:

It's a pretty good kit, the sharpness and detail is quite good, not that I'm an expert! It needs quite a lot of finishing with a knife and filling and sanding etc. I mostly sprayed it with car spraypaint except the handle and weathering which I did with a brush.

I was so inspired that I've spent the last couple of days building and painting the 'Greedo Killer' version. As a first attempt at a gun/blaster kit it was pretty easy to put together and I'm happy with it so far... A bit shiny in places and super close up, I've left a finger print in the paint :shock: but its given me confidence to have another go at another prop type item in the future

Really glad you shared your images as I'd have never given the idea a thought, let alone been brave enough to give it a go :D
