Model Behavior: Assembling Bill’s Replicant Blaster!
Bill brings to our office the culmination of a big project: a scratch-modeled interpretation of the Blade Runner blaster prop that he’s turned into a kit. We assemble this Replicant Blaster kit to show how it all comes together with real hardware (no glue!) and mechanical action (those darn springs!) Follow along to celebrate Bill’s incredible prop-building achievement!

What an amazing project. Well done, Bill.
A masterpiece.
Beautiful work! I’d love to see Adam’s reaction to it.
Did I miss something? Are you going to make resin kits available, or did you make molds just for the two kits?
I also would like to know if this kit will be available?
Great job!
Trigger discipline, Norm!! 😉
Nice work, Bill! Looks great!
It is available for a mere $9 on the link in the video description https://punishedprops.com/shop/replicant-blaster-3d-print-files/
Edit: ah, you probably did see the link and rather want finished parts to assemble, my bad
That is tight
That really is an awesome kit. Kudos to Bill for the all the work he put into it.
This is so mindbogglingly complex. The idea of 3d designing the mechanical operation of a firearm, sans the forces necessary to make a firearm work, with soft materials, and harbor freight springs. It’s genuinely awe inspiring. There are some many places where a couple thousandths of an inch would result in mechanical failure, and he molded the piece and casted in a way that allowed it to still function. Excellent work Bill!
Just purchased the files from Bill’s site. I’m looking forward to adding a Lefty and Righty pair of these to go along with my original Blasters (L&R) 🙂
I may not cast them, as I think some molds will be too big for my pressure pot. I’ll have to look into it.
I’ll be happy to post photos when I’ve completed them.
I appreciate the sexy smooth jazz during the weathering, Gunther! =)
Thanks for the kind words, friends! I’m not doing resin kits, but I am selling the 3D files on my website if you’d like to print your own. punishedprops.com
Thanks again! =D
So Bill, would you at all recommend attempting this with a backyard aluminum melting pot for all of the metal bits? Or am I dreaming too wildly?
Note: I have never melted aluminum. I always assume I can do wonders with anything before I ever start. You should see the scars that result from such hubris…
So two weeks ago I purchased the files from Punished-Props.
Here’s my work so far. I still need to mold and cast the grips in translucent orange. Unless someone would be interested in making a set available 😉
And finish off a few little details.
That looks fantastic!
would love to see a resin set to assemble available for purchase.
