So here's a project I've been wanting to build for awhile, Han Solo's Blastech DL-44 Heavy Blaster. With the new movie came a perfect opportunity, the prop masters used an HFC M712 as a base for the gun, as opposed to a real C96 mauser as in the original movies. So now it's possible to build a "screen correct" Solo blaster.
The WE one coming down the pipes is shit, THIS is gonna be done right.
So here is what I'm going after;
And here is where I am right now;
Stripped HFC M712; I know not very far along but ya gotta start somewhere.

You'll notice from the build components listed, I'm planning on outfitting this blaster with sound effects, speakers etc in the grip. We'll see if I can pull it off. Just waiting for parts to start showing up.
