[Blaster comperison: Bapty1.0 vs. Bapty2.0]

Very nice comparsion Felix!

Are these pics of the actual screenused stunts or your builds?

[Disk for mg34 grip]

AFAIK the disc was taken from a vintage turntable sweeparm (not the unisweep we know as the source for many BobaFett parts)...can´t find a picture but I am pretty sure about this

Markus

[Question about Bapty and co.]

No at problem at all...no native english speaker myself

You got me confused with your comment about the modifications of "the bapty" blaster, where you were actually referring to just the E-11(´s). ALL blasters were done by Bapty, so your post was a bit misleading...

Markus

[Question about Bapty and co.]

...So the answer is that we have just close ups of the bapty. The other blasters should be the same extra modifications for the tunesian scenes...;-)

Sorry Felice, I don´t understand!?

MG15´s - fact: no barrels

L2A3´s - assumption: no -real- barrels, based on the fact that the stunt E-11 don´t have barrel retaining screws.

Lewis - assumption: no barrel (we only see the barrel jacket/ receiver)?

MG34´s - ?

...what are these extra modifications of the other blasters you´re writing about?

Markus

[Question about Bapty and co.]

I contradict

FIRST...take a look at the two MG15´s to the left...NO barrels!

My comment about the MG34 and the Lewis was an assumption based on that (I never claimed the Lewis not to be "real", just that Bapty might have removed the barrel).

SECOND...take a closer look at the business end of this stunt E-11.

No barrel retaining screws! This doesn´t neccessarily mean that there´s no -dummy- barrel, but there is no proof of a barrel either (even if there seems to be "something" in the receiver tube).

Markus

[Question about Bapty and co.]

Please don´t forget the the MG15, the MG34 and surely the Lewis (even if not seen) did not have any barrels as well.

They possibly also removed other internal parts to make these non-firing weapons.

Still does not explain why they added cast parts to the E-11´s and didn´t simply do the same mods to the L2A3...

Markus

[Could This Be It?]

Thanks for the detective work!

I just ordered a couple of enfield slings myself to try it out.

But I am not totally convinced...why should the prop dept use other slings, when some of the Lewis´ already had slings attached?

Check the following pic...couldn´t it be that they just put the "loop" at the front around the barrel and call it a day?

Just an idea...

[Real Eagle hengstler and scope wanted]

Hi guys, I have the Sterling in hand for conversion, but I am having trouble finding a Real Eagle Henstler counter and Scope (M38, M40, M38A2, M77C). I dont suppose any of you guys have one for sale or know the where abouts of one I can buy?

Fingers crossed

Marcel

If you´re still looking for the counter...drop me an email at odendall@t-online.de

[Working on a new display for my desert stormtrooper blasters]

Hey Braks

That looks great!

I´m in the same boat as you´ve been with having all my BMFG`s stored away behind the door (Real MG15. real MG34, real MG42 and a hf LG)

You know my "blaster wall" and I plan to display the heavy blasters the same way. BIG PROBLEM: I ran out of space.

Could you please do me a favour and tell us how you managed to add/ secure the snooper scope, the SP and the enfield sniper scope to the MG15? I´ve collected all parts but haven´t figured out how to attach them.

Any information/ pics are highly appreciated.

Thanks, Markus
