Title: Stormtrooper Blaster prop!
Post by: Bryancd on July 19, 2011, 04:11:51 PM
"Aren't you a little shirtless for a Stormtrooper?"  :biggrin
My latest ebay score, an all fan made E-11 Stormtrooper blaster. A really nicely made on very screen accurate to the ones from A New Hope. I'll try and get a little collectible review for Rico this week.

Looks great Bryan.  And you know, I think the Stormtroopers armor protected them about as well as your shirtless look.

LOL! Nice guns...also cool blaster :)

I've always liked the E-11. I can't recall if the stalk is supposed to fold out or not, thought I had read that on an old sourcebook or the Essential Guide to Weapons.

That's a large piece. How much storage space do you have for these things?

All the money saved on clothes redirected to much more interesting items! :)

That's the math of it. :)
@ Mike, getting less and less, need to keep this out of the line of site of the wife! Actually, next time we move, I am getting a "Bryan Room" for a proper home theater and all my stuff, that's the deal.
@ Joe, yes, the on set props were all based on a British Sterling sub machine gun which had a functioning folding stock. It was never used on screed but it was a feature on the very original Kenner blaster toy I had! I'll do a collectible review for this weeks Treks in Sci-Fi discussing not only the original prop but some of the toys and replicas made of the E-11 over the years and how it changed during the films. By ROTJ, most were resin or ruber stunt castings.

Yeah Meds, I was going to ask you about that. Kell was a bit...well, overly interested in Shirtless Bryan, wasn't he? :)

I'm saying nothing but he was relived that it was the top half showing skin lol

I did this morning on my run and had a great laugh when I heard that! I think Kel and I would get on famously...even if I were half naked...preferably the top half. :)
