Stormtrooper Blaster

Some of you already know about the other Starwars saga and how I got my armor. Well for those who do know will also remember the piece of steaming bubbling baboon shite of a blaster that I received with the armor. I got myself one of those Kenner blasters which was cheap and looked OK but still looked a bit on the crap side - I was left with *two* crap blasters!
Decided to make the best out of the situation and removed some bits from the blaster that came with the armor and used putty to mold it onto the Kenner blaster.
I could get a replica but that costs 69,825 yen - could get another set of authentic armor for that price!

This is the Kenner Blaster all plastered up with the new bits under the blaster. I also plastered up the screw holes too.

And this is the finished product looking much more like the original. If you haven't been sent a steaming blaster, you can always make the extra pieces from ply wood which you can pick up from a local store or borrow some from your neighbors fence.
By the way, I haven't forgotten about the Wonder Festival updates - the mecha section is quite large too so I am going to need just that little bit longer (probably tomorrow).
