Title: Homemade Jawa Blaster
Post by: Darinus on November 22, 2013, 11:58:40 AM
Here's my wife's Jawa blaster that I made her.
I used an SKS stock that I got for free and chopped it down, PVC pipe and a handful of different PVC adapters/fittings, a funnel, broke a channel lock wrench and used part for the trigger, stripped an ugly LED flashlight body, and a couple of other greeblies here and there. It lights up via a pressure pad-activated tactical flashlight equipped with a dark blue Lee filter. Overall it was less than $20 (already had the flashlight)

Here's my wife and I in our finished costumes:

That's amazing! I love to see these built from scratch blasters, and yet this looks almost dead on. Great work!  Both of your costumes look great too!

Thanks! I made the gun for her and helped with the pouches, she made the rest. All pretty cheap, too.
I ordered my Jedi outfit from an Amazon seller Showtimecosplay. It was about $130ish(?) and I don't feel ripped off but it isn't exactly amazing. The collar in that pic looks terrible because I didn't iron it and the robe's hood is awful. Otherwise it isn't bad.
She's reworking hers as a Sith Jawa and I'm going back to the drawing board with mine. I really don't like the idea of it being purchased and I'd like it to be less 'generic'.

Going out on a limb but this is probably one of the best accessories I have seen on this site.

Very well executed !

That means a lot to me, thanks!
I didn't expect much positive feedback since I've seen tons of amazing work that others have done.
I'm trying to get a foam wig head tomorrow to put the mask/hood on display with the gun. I'll throw a pic on here if I get the chance tomorrow.

That looks awesome. Definitely something a Jawa would cobble together.

Point awarded....I wish I could give you two or three.

That's pretty close. You'll be disabling droids....and bodies....in no time flat with that kind of blunderbuss.

Here's it's current resting place in our living room.

The shelves were cleared off and I'm currently trying to organize my collections and whatnot to decide what I want to display, so this may not be permanent. My sabers and any other SW props will likely go with this, the shelf under will have my hardcover books, blu-ray set and Sideshow statues.

Utinni!

She plans on adding a voice amp/modulator on the next iteration of her Jawa, couldn't hear anything she said under that mask.
