 Posted: Sat Jul 25, 2015 2:31 am Post subject: Blade Runner Blaster - Pistol carry case |
 |
|
On very rare occasions I'm asked to take my blaster out of my studio and while the wooden, presentation box I created a few years ago can be handy on these occasions, it doesn't provide the level of protection a padded pistol case does.
On looking for an alternative solution, I resisted the desire to acquire a Halliburton style carry-case - similar to the one shown at the Profiles in History auction - because its just so big. Instead, after some investigation I opted for a small, well worn Plano that looked like it had been around since the 1980's.
Wanting to stay faithful to some of the characteristics of the Halliburton, I recreated the 'Bob Cappy' consignment sticker and inside I placed a few well known items. I dusted a little rust to the interior foam as well as to the spare magazine and the steel barrel acquired from Rich Coyle.
Thank you for looking
Regards
MARK

Your work fools me every time Mark. I am always convinced it is the real thing. The colors and shades of the metal are even spot on.
BTW I have one of the cases that they had the hero stored in. It is missing some of the inserts though, but it is the same make and model if you are ever interested into going that next step.

Cheers Buch and congrats again on your gorgeous Tomenosuke.
Thanks very much Andy - kind of you sir. Actually I recalled you saying that you had one when I started looking around for a case and I was sorely tempted to go the full monty. The thing that stopped me is the size of the case because its not something I can have on display and hence my decision to opt for a miniature version. That said, I would LOVE to do it properly if the opportunity arises.
Thank you very much again mate. I might need to drop you a line sometime..
Regards
MARK
