Hello everyone, I thought it was time to introduce myself. My name is Ana. I'm married to Rafn. In fact he's the reason why I got into Star Wars. I had never seen any of the movies in full up until about two years ago. I'm currently strongly considering making a Jawa, mainly because i'm only 5'1" as well as Zam Wesell. Hopefully I will be able to start putting both together very shortly. :D

force_hound77: Lol. I consider myself lucky to have him, he's the only one to ever let me be my nerdy, fun self.

Whitejob77: We're talking about trying to make the armor party. If we can make it, is there something I could bring food wise? I do most of the cooking in the house and Rafn never complains. Lol.

bobamatt: Thank you for the welcome and i'm sure we will eventually.

Dirty Tusken: Thank you for the welcome and i'm sure we'll have plnety of questions. Lol. Do you know if anyone has used the Replica British Lee Enfield rifle from http://www.cushmanpaintball.com/ReplicaLeeEnfield.html for the Jawa Ion Blaster before? It's within our affordability range and I thought it might be a good option.

Never seen that kit used but it would work.
You could also try one of these stocks
http://www.ebay.com/itm/SPORTERIZED-ENG ... 1c34161e48
http://www.ebay.com/itm/SPORTERIZED-ENG ... 19de708dfa
and make the bolt yourself.
or....
You could go fully scratch built. ;)

I had thought about going with the real thing, until I really thought about how much extra weight it would be. I don't really want to carry around 3-6lbs or better, for several hours during an event. Especially given that the Jawa costume is heavy/hot as it is and any extra weight would put an extra strain on my body. I'm a type 1 diabetic and I don't handle heat/cold extremely well. I thought the replica would make a good and lighter weight blaster....

The resin would make it way lighter. I would also try to use pvc pipe and light weight aluminum for the barrel parts. Also you can totally make a sling or holster for it to help with carrying it. When I see you guys Saturday I'll give you as much info as I can without talking your ears off. Lol

Yeah, that's what I was thinking or sculpt/mold/cast the other pieces myself. Awesome! I'm sure we could both use the advice/tips! :D
