Blaster Question

[gandalfbmg]

So, we all know the DH-17, the Rebel Tooper blaster, right? Well, I can't find this anywhere now (like the above link) but I could have sworn I've seen an 'imperial' version of this blaster where the nozzle is black not gray... Maybe it was just on an action figure or something, but I figured I'd ask the experts on all things imperial to see if I'm crazy or not

Thanks

I believe i know which one your talking about. I think its the one alot of Imperial Gunners use. Not sure what its called though. Maybe that can get you a lead.

Yeah, some gunners and officers carry it. Doing an image search everything comes up 'with gray'

Except for this: http://www.rebelscum.com/SAGAaccblasters.asp which is as I suspected just toys (probably a lazy painting job)...

Even here it's silver-tipped, so I'll just stop paying attention to the toys I step on in the kids' room

Bart,
I beleive it was the Imperial Navy that carried the black verison of the DH-17. However, after my PC crash I don't have anything to confirm that.

Even the imp pictures I've seen are w/ the gray tip... It must've been just a lazy toy paint job messing with my memory...

So, on a different note, i.e. the E-11... I know there are conversion kits available for converting the toys, but I only seem to be able to find them from the UK... does anyone know of one from around this side of the atlantic?

I still think the Imperial Navy used that verison, but we might be thinking of the BSA Smg prototype:

I know this thread is a little older, but I did find a company that has the resin upgrades for E-11 Blaster clips and a what would be the folded version of the sniper butt, out of MINN. I did ask if it would fit the Hasbro E-11, and he wasn't sure, as they were more intended for homemade versions, however it was 12.99 and 9.99 respectivly with free shipping, so I figured I try it. If it works I'll be happy to post pics and let everyone know thats interested.

The Resin Blaster "ammo clip" and "folding stock" arrived today. I think they are prefect scale to Hasboro Blaster.
I have taken some pics, and will have them up on myspace as soon as it cooperates. If anyone wants to make these detailed additions to a store bought E-11 Blaster, and get them from a company here in the US rather than having to wait on overseas shipment, send me a PM and I'll be happy to give you the information.

Pics of parts as arrived, and after attached to Blaster now posted on myspace
