Star Wars Replica Props

The following replica props were built by me.  None of these were bought or include Icons, Master Replica, or cast duplicates.   All were parts were either the original pieces used for the real movie props or parts that I fabricated to look like them.

I realize that these may not be 100% accurate so please consider 2 things when looking at my props.

1.)  Many of them were made years ago, most before the internet....gasp!  I used images from the limited number of books and pausing the VHS movie.

2.)  I sacrificed accuracy for cost in some cases.  Most of these were made for under 50$.

I had made a less then accurate version of the ROTJ blaster back in 92 before I had good reference shots.  I decided I wanted to make an ESB version and began to collect parts.   This was made from a Crosman 357 pellet gun, a 2 cell heiland flash tube (10$ - while not the MPP version for the price it was better then a chrome plumping pipe), some pvc, a tasco scope, some scrap wood for the stalk, plexiglas, and some greeblies I bought a long time ago.  Total cost under 40$.  

This was made back in 1994.  I found a replica Broom-handled Mauser (the actual base for the original prop) at an antique mall.  The blaster also includes parts from an old Kenner toy gun, some aluminum tubes & rods, and random hardware.  Total cost = $30.

This was the first real replica prop I made.  A friend told me that the original was made from an old Graflex 3-cell flash tube.  We bought a photography magazine and called every vendor in it to track down a Graflex.  This one actually has some parts (grips and bubbles) I bought from various vendors years ago.  Total cost = $70.

This one was made in 1997.  I only had 1 reference photo in the Star Wars Chronicles book.  My father was a tool and die maker so we milled and lathed the entire piece out of plastic and aluminum.  I found the black gear by the pommel years earlier and had held onto it.  Total cost = $20.

Originally made in 1998 from a Heiland flash tube, purchased grips and machined miscellaneous pats.  Total cost = $40.

 1999.  This was another father son project team up.  Machined out of a solid aluminum bar and copper bar.  The controls are also aluminum but the red and green arrows are actually filed down lite-brites.

Started in 2001 and finished in 2011.  I had the parts but never really got around to finishing it.  It is actually a toy squirt gun that a filled with plaster for weight, plexiglass, hardware, pvc, washers, a x-acto knife tip, and a phone cord.  Total cost= $12.

Completed in 2003.  This was a another rare favorite of mine.   The original was made from a Spanish spear gun, a Nemrod.  I found one on eBay and the seller has a misidentified it and I got it for $20.  While not the exact Nemrod, it was very close.  The other parts on it include some gears from an RC shop, pvc, and plexiglass. Total cost = $30.

I finished this gun  in 2011.  I have been collecting scrap parts for this for quite while.  The pistol that was used as the base is a quite expensive and rare air pistol from Europe.  This was pieced together with an old daisy bb gun handle and flea market bb gun.  The extras are made from pvc, couplings, spare aluminum, a pen and other fodder.  Total cost= $30.

Completed in 2005.  I was a the goodwill looking for parts to use for a film project and found the old hair dryer that was the base.   The rest of the prop is made from a pvc tube with a dowel rod in it for support, Plexiglas, plumbing washers, and a toilet bowl float.  Total cost = $15.
