[Michael Sith]

This is a great read, thought I would share it, love the Han blasters, and it's inspiring me to have a go at a very basic attempt, v v basic :roll:

Enjoy the read

Good read Mike, really detailed article. Interesting that Ollie Reed has a part in the story

Ian McShane as well, might try a watch of that :wink:

I need to pick up a blaster and get to work on it, I'm going to start with the basic toy and see how it comes out :wink:

Great post Mike 8)

I read this last night but it was so bloody long I was cursing at you for keeping me up past my bedtime :twisted: but I was inspired get you back with this...

Mike, so that you don't take this wrong
I'll reply with a limmerick like song
If you do post again
please warn me my friend
That the story is so ****ing long :wink:

BTW I have a custom Solo Blaster, fits neatly into my custom Solo holster. Its a kids laser gun painted black with a sight glued on top.

You might be able to see it in the Toys R Us thread

Sorry for keeping you awake,
I'm afraid you cannot both have and eat your cake
Ill take a look at that thread,
Before I go to my bed,

Ponda Baba is not a Crossdresser :lol: :lol:

No mate...I will bow out gracefully...don't do conflict :lol:

I meant cross dressing in the context of Corellian & Aqualish as opposed to male female....no disrespect meant to Wally mate

Any way it's past your bedtime :wink:

Filled it, sanded, drilled out the muzzle holes, primed, now sand, black it, then add finishing detail and weathering...must be nuts my long suffering wife certainly thinks so :lol: :roll:

No, I couldn't do a Han Solo, if I did anything it would involve a full overhead mask or helmet, anonymity would be the rule for me :lol:
