I have heaps of reference for blasters of all shapes and varieties. Out of them all, I have no clue what do to next. This list is by no means the entirety of my blasters, but it's a fair representation of them and it's the ones I'm willing to work on in the near future. Well, my last decision was the result of a request by Little_Dragon. Since I didn't know what people might want, I went with his suggestion. Turns out it was a good one and people seem to be really happy with my Jango Fett blaster. I've gotten a lot of compliments. So what I'm wondering is, which of these do any of my current blaster-users want me to do next? What blasters are in demand?

I never realized this before, but Robocop's autopistol looks suspiciously like the Ares Predator from the Shadowrun role-playing game. Or vice-versa.

Not to steer you away from the subject of blasters, but knowing your love affair with the lightsabre, have you seen this website?

Yup. As well as: [This](http://www.raptorsquad.net/lsgallery/) and [Especiallt this](http://www.thelightsaber.com/history1.htm) Not to mention [Park's Sabres](http://www.parksabers.com/) and [Creative Force](http://creativeforceinc.homestead.com/hilts.html) and [Masterpiece Replicas](http://mpreps.com/Gallery1.htm) and [Luuke's collection](http://www.thelightsaber.com/MySaberCollection.htm) Notice, though, there's a sabre up in that list. See image attached.

How about some MIB blasters? Noisy Crickett or something. Your work is awesome. I like anything you make, especially Cerebus!

Hmmi I think I have.... yup, this is it, right?

This is my raygun model. It is in the freestuff.

Do something original that we can buy and use commercially. 8^) You have the talent for it, your stuff is great. Marque

Anthony Appleyard: are you saying you want me to copy yours? Marque and Ratteler: thanks very much, and I plan to actually -- I have a set of sketches for an original changing Raygun in a sort of 50's sci-fi style with geometry dials to dial-a-raygun, but I especially like to do the movie/TV blasters. I enjoy a challenge, and I've found it's harder to accurately reproduce something specific and identifiable then it is to make something cool out of whole cloth. Keeping the free stuff coming is usually very good for business, too B^)

I always loved the Bladerunner gun that Harrison Ford's character had. Looked futuristic without looking too Sci-Fi. I'll post a pic if I find one.

I have to agree that the Robocop pistol does look a lot like the Ares Predator from Shadowrun (Questor has a great model available). The Cpt Panaka pistol would be my choice for the next blaster. If the sights and other attachments could be done as separate parts, it would make a very versatile and useful prop. I can't remember where I got it, but I think there is already a PK-D pistol available (Harrison Ford's Bladerunner pistol). Maybe Little Dragon knows where that is.

Found it, the PK-D pistol that is. link below to DTEMachine's site.

Hmmm... Looks like DTE also got the TNG phaser there. nu-be, I have the Rebel blaster and Imberial Blaster, which aren't long rifles but they are technically rifles. I know there's a stormtrooper long rifle, but I can't find any danged pics of it online... though I'd be willing to give it a go if you can find a good one. The noisy cricket was the only MIB gun I was able to find a clean pic of without anyone's hand in the way. Not sure if the Battle Droid Blaster counts as a rifle or blaster, as it's sort of in-between, like the sterlings (rebel and imperial) I've done. Boba fett's is definitely a rifle even though it's built from a pistol, so I'll take that as a vote at least for that one. Find me a pic of the long blaster rifles and I'll go for 'em!

I'm for the Biker Scout's Blaster. It's clean, compact and able to get the job done. There are plenty of other big gun's out there if anyone wants to lay waste to a city. Or the Imperial Window, isn't there enough violence in the world already? wrong thread but, I've sorta dropped everything and moved twice before, it's definately easier moving back to family. Good luck, Drive safe, If you are driving slower than the person behind you, get in the right lane.

Dodger, here's some Phasers for you all crammed together into one pic :-) I'll send singles if you want :-)

Why shouldn't speech be free? Very little of it is worth anything.

My vote goes to the Spaceballs Rifle or the BPA Machinegun...love both those movies... CT
