Wow.
Was it hard to make the modifications? How much is scratch build from other parts or styrene/plastic/metal?
Also, I wonder, did you eyeball it all, or did you try to copy the original design by finding the proper parts used originally to make the scratchbuilt parts?
And also, where the hell did you get this kit box from anyway? 🙂
Btw, I once asked a museum if I could take photos, but they didn't like the idea as I remember it, they were afaik afraid of me making money off the photos I think. I just wanted to model the broomhandle pistol in 3D for the fun of it.

Hello, so many questions.
Ok, I'll tell you the story ....
I bought the kit in 1983, when I got some money for helping a friend's dad move house. I built it as per the box and had it lying around for many years. It got me into trouble with the police once when I was questioned about an armed robbery at a Post Office. My motorbike was spotted going fast near the scene of the crime and they knocked on my door to eliminate me from the case. They spotted the gun in my bedroom when I showed them my leathers.
Anyway, married now, wife hates the Mauser and my son likes Star Wars, so I went on Etsy and found the 3D items.
So I spent yesterday and today chopping it all up.
There are too many of them in existence that were used in the film, so I made a generic Blaster, is it Han Solo's.....who cares!
