Sharing some photos of my recently-completed TipTop Workshop/Anders Pedersen cast-metal blaster set off to perfection by this gorgeous illuminating stand. I couldn't be happier with it, and with Luke's superb customer service too. The stand isn't just a stand, but an integral part of my Blade Runner display! Thanks Luke!
Thanks so much Jon, you're so very welcome!
You've done an incredible job with DaveChaos' kit, looks amazing and loving your Blade Runner display.

As threatened :- I made a sketchy little video review of the stand :-
This is awesome mate, it came out great. Wow, I'm grinning from ear to ear with pride, what a huge compliment to put that together for my stand.
Thanks so much Peter!

I just wanted to share my Pictures of my stand that arrived today. Also the Review already said everything that is to say about the Display very good job, sir. Also thank you Luke for my piece and the love and care you put into making it.
I was also planning on doing a review, but Baron already did a good job and that will be hard to top of, instead i would like to ask if i could link your video review on my social media post?
Thanks again Luke and to all the members on the RPF for being friendly, helpful and absolutly amazing people.
Cheers

Sounds like a pretty solid plan to me!Thank you! please do share as far and wide as you wish! it's all good and maybe we can make Luke the first RPF billionaire
Thanks Gaddes, and thanks for your message and order too!
I have a couple of updates I wanted to share regarding the blaster stand.
First up is a change to the side panel design. On the left is the new style with the previous on the right.
When first creating the stand I chose a more stylised look for the pattern. It wasn't totally screen accurate as it were, but it worked well with the look I was going for with the piece and my then experience of laser etching.
Recently I've been wanting to revisit the design, see If I can improve upon it and maybe make it a little more screen accurate.
I'm really pleased with how the tests have come out and will post a side-by-side of a completed stand in the next few days.
I also wanted to give a heads up that from Monday the 3rd of July (GMT) I will be increasing the cost of the stand.
The materials used have more than doubled in cost since I first started offering these for sale. I've also been reviewing all the costs and the time it takes to make the stands and have concluded that I've been undervaluing that time a little. The care and attention to detail I strive for with every piece takes time and I'm certain that many of my previous customers would agree that the quality of the final piece is well worth the increase.
I wanted to give a heads up so that anyone who may have been on the fence about ordering a stand for a while has the opportunity to get an order in before the increase. The current price is £85, the new price will be £120.

Here's a little update to my previous post... images of the completed stand with the redesigned side panels.
These came out great and will be applied to all stands purchased going forward.
Here's an image of the previous design for comparison.
And here's a couple of shots of the full stand displaying my Tomenosuke 2049 build.

Really can't wait for my order (with update panels) to come in and house the Paragon FX Group (Tomen made) BR 2049 Deckard's Hero (Elite) blaster own. Will do a review/follow up once the stand received.
"You've done a man's job, sir...".

Finally received Akwalek's (Luke) awesome illumination prop display stand for my Paragon FX Group Deckard's Hero (Elite) blaster made by and in collaboration with Tomenosuke.
New to the prop making/collecting world, more into collecting 1/6th scale figures & vehicles my self. In late 2022 been diving into the Blade Runner Deckard's film blaster rabbit hole/research suggested from a friend about Tomenosuke Blade Runner blaster release and both of us miss out on. Was able to secure Paragon FX Group officially licensed blaster in early 2023 and what's a blaster without a stand to properly display on. Came across with numerous simple acrylic stand from few online sources (ETSY, Hollywood Collectibles Group & Tomenosuke etc.), then I came across Luke's thoughtful concept of "Unlimited" offer light up display stand here at RPF and had to reach out to him for it. It was pleasant and great experience getting in touch with Luke here in RPF with the inquiry/purchase of "Ver. 2.0 illumination stand" (1) (2) to finalized my order. The shipment is fast. Was expecting 5 - 14 days to Canada from UK as Luke suggested, but it got to me in record 3 days time (July 25th shipped and arrived on 28th). Parcel came unscathed and not damage, plus loving the thoughtful home made eco-friendly packaging came with a double sided letter size page as "Thank you" note and instructions on how to assemble the stand. To me this display stand not just display the blaster, but accentuate it with the famous Frank Lloyd Wright's Ennis House textile blocks (shown in 1982's Blade Runner Deckard's apartment) motif on the base in perfect laser etched and stained finish.
'Nough of me ranting, attach is my "novice" photo op of the immaculate display stand made by Akwalek (Luke). Hopefully one day I will have proper set up like everyone here to enshrine the blaster on the illumination stand to give that proper set up it deserves!

Thanks Kroenen77!
Yes, absolutely, I've made stands for several Coyle blasters. Most of them needed slight modifications to the grip plate support but that's all included as part of the service I offer.
Would be a shame not to build that kit of yours. It's a really satisfying process!
There's details on where to measure and how to order on the second post of this thread.

That is because Youtube is for some reason still processing. I can already view it. It will take a while i guess since it is 4K.Spikeyfied your video doesn't seem to be working.
