Limited Run The Mandalorian Blaster, screen accurate (TWO LEFT before)
- Thread starter JOATRASH FX
- Start date
Here are the optional stainless steel upgrade parts I was talking about. I figured that folks doing costuming might want to have the more vulnerable parts be alittle stronger. Once I get the main bulk of kits sent out, I'll put these upgrades for y'all to get on Sh*peways. (You'll be getting them from them, not from me- I'm not involved more than putting up the files. I think the cost will end up being $30-40 depending on where in the world you are.)
I hit the discs with some black ink, but it was a bit too watery. Spray paint and steel wool might look better. The lever has a longer "Pin" in the back to make a stronger bond with the pistol.

Printed up a couple bodies this weekend that I guess will ahve to wait for owners! (Had a guy in a FB group say he wanted one, then he apparently didn't...)
I've got most of them sorted and have more or less enough boxes and now that I'm seeing light at the end of the Beskar ingot tunnel I will be able to start packing. (Just having a few very rough work weeks at the moment, which is limiting how much weekday evening time I have to spend doing the hands-on stuff. And my workspace is so small I have to completely "reconfigure" from "ingot making mode" to "packing boxes mode" because I don't have room for both at the same time!) I would like to start getting the first few Mando blasters out at the end of this coming week. (I really want this done now so that I can play catchup on some personal projects... and maybe finish my own Mando build, lol!)
Just a small update regarding the virus situation. At the moment, from what I can tell, mail going from Sweden to most parts of the world (excluding Italy and China) does not seem to be experiencing a significant delay at the moment. (I'm going to assume there will be some disruptions, but nothing big at the moment.) I have most of what I need to start packing and sending these out soon, so that's good. I'm also glad that I was able to complete so much of the printing before all this began, because my supplier is currently out of the alcohol I need to clean parts with, due to panic-buyers. I still have enough to print a bit more, in case anyone is still looking to get in on the run.
I hope everyone out there is staying safe!

Yeah, and most of the places that DO carry it will ONLY sell to businesses... : P
Hey everyone.
I just wanted to make sure again that you all know that whatever happens with the whole virus thing, I'll the blaster kits packed and sent out as soon as I can. There still don't seem to be any major delays in mail, so that's good. Some disruption will happen, no doubt, but you know... through rain, and sleet, and snow and all that.
I'm going to put some extra effort into sorting and packing (while I also finishing the last Beskar ingots) so that I can get them out the door. A whole mess of kits are already bagged and sorted... I just have to pack 'em and start printing out addresss labels.
I'll update here again when I've got some more done. Until then, stay safe... don't panic... and we'll get through this my fellow Mandos! This is the way!

ALL KITS ARE SORTED AND BAGGED. Yes! The box you see on the right is the first kit packed for weighing. Unless something gets in the way, I'll start getting some of these out late this coming week. Fingers crossed!
And I currently have ONE already printed copy in reserve in case someone wants it.
With all the lockdowns and quarantines... at least we all have stuff to build.
Stay safe everyone!

OK, UPDATE TIME. Hope you're all staying safe out there.
I have ALL kits boxed up but I need to seal a few 'cause I ran out of tape. Labels hare in the process of printing, customs forms filled out. The plan is to start sending them out this weekend. I will send in batches, maybe 2-5 every other day or something like that until they are all out (I don't want to overwhelm the local post depot in these times).
I will update here when each batch is sent out.
IMPORTANT: Please allow up to 4 weeks for them to arrive. Postal services are running BUT they have warned of delays. It usually would take 2 weeks, but we have to allow some leeway with all the craziness going on. If there is any problem with your kit when it arrives, just drop me a PM and we'll get it sorted ASAP.
Once again... a big huge THANK YOU to all involved in this run. I hope you have lots of fun building 'em! More soon.
(And yes, I have one or two extra still....)

I should have a few more out during the weekend. With luck, they'll arrive within a couple weeks BUT please allow 4-5 in case there are postal delays.
This run has been great, but it will be a HUGE weight off my shoulders once they are all out. Thanks again to everyone for all the support.
(Oh, and once I get clear of a few things, I'll arrange access to those optional metal extras....)
Also... justinrowan is readying his awesome wood grips and has as thread up!
More soon!
Another batch went out during the weekend!
Again, please keep in mind that with the virus crisis, mail will almost certainly get delayed, possibly by weeks, especially if the postal carriers suspend services for a time. I keep constant tabs on what's going on and at the moment, things are still running from what I can tell.
Should have more out tomorrow or Wed, with (fingers crossed) all of them shipped by the end of the week!

If anyone wanted one of these, but is on a tight budget, I just posted a prototype kit in the junkyard:
Mandalorian Blaster Kit (prototype)

Another 11 went out today!
That leaves, if I'm counting correctly, four left to send (One I'm waiting for the last payment, and the other is delayed due to shipping restrictions to Asia, the last two are ready to go out in the next couple of days). I'll have all copies sent as soon as possible.

The last couple will go out tomorrow if all goes as planned.
Note: I got a couple back from the first batch due to an error in the post office sorting machines. Those went out again a few days ago.
KEEP IN MIND: With the current crisis, post office services ARE functional BUT delayed. (I sent a couple packages with tracking almost a week ago and they still haven't left the country- something that usually happens in a couple days.) It also looks like the post office is again shipping to parts of Asia, so that's good.
No one is going to lose out on getting their kit, whatever happens, if I can help it.
I'll do a small writeup of a list of build tips soon. (The build thread in the Star Wars props section has a lot of info on how to paint it, but y'all might want some tips on how to deal with printed kits like this.)
Aaaaaang again: I can arrange a couple more of this kit, PLUS I have a less expensive prototype in the junkyard for those on a budget.
Stay safe... and happy building!
