Building the Blade Runner Blaster (Tomenosuke Pro)

- This video features the assembly part of my work with this piece. I will provide a video later where I discuss the progress from start to finish. I also made an unboxing of this piece years ago. Link below.
In short, I sanded, polished, blued and painted this piece as it came as a assembly kit from Tomenosuke.

Amazing
Thank you!
This looks terrific! Great job! I too would be very interested in a video detailing how you did the bluing, polishing, etc. I've had the same kit for years but have been putting it off as I have no clue how to do that stuff. Would love to finally get it looking like this.
Thank you, Stefan. I know it can be very intimidating, and I was in that exact same boat. I got a finished version as well, and this took off some of the pressure since no matter what, I'd still have that. :) I'll try to put together a video where I share my experience and share some tips and learnings.
that is sweet bro... thanks for sharing
My pleasure! Thank you! :)
Nicely done and thanks for the video. I'm expecting my Tomen Blaster (2049) any day now. Would be nice to have this version as well....if it would still be available.
Thx

Thank you! The 2049 version is gorgeous. Different finish, but very clean looking. The new one also comes in a great art box.
Wonderful! Getting my 2049 blaster soon but I doubt that I'll break it down to emulate this, lol.
That's great. Very happy with my 2049 too. It's a beautiful piece. Congrats! You'll love it! :) I wouldn't change anything on it either.
Lovely video, thank you for sharing.
How much of the build is actually metal?
The amber grips, the battery chamber (the part with the switch under the barrel starting at the trigger guard). That's about it.
@@DarthChrisDK that’s a bit disappointing. Thanks for replying.
@@junior1138 Oh, wait. Sorry. The parts I just mentioned above are the only parts in plastic.
@@DarthChrisDK ah. I did wonder when you mentioned the amber grips, but assumed you me as not the bit the attached to!
Nice. Is this a Tomasuke kit? I may need to invest.
@@junior1138 Yes, this is Tomenosuke. :) They usually have both DIY kits and pre-assembled/finished versions.
Better than the version for sale!
Yes, I also prefer the shiny look. The colors of the grips are better on the new ones though.
Hey CHris did you ever create the more in depth video? I have 2 issues with my build (or rebuild as I stripped mine down to weather and attach the metal barrel) My grip or handle is loose and I cant see a way to tighten it and I cant get the chamber spring back in there lol)
Hi Colin. I only have the videos available that you'll find on my channel. Hmm, it's been so long now I don't remember in detail the handle and how it goes together - other than what can be glimpsed in this video. I really you sort it out! There's definitely a way to tighten it properly.
The original gun was built by my Father, Robbie Knott. He was never credited on the film for special effects.
Hello everyone! Welcome to this video 😃
Very funny. :P
Where does one order a beauty such as this?
Hi Travis. This was ordered many years ago via the Japanese producer. I think I got this kit in 2013.
Hello there,
I'm getting the 2049 version off of HCG soon, should I leave it as is or should I "beat it up" a bit?
Thanks!
P.S this video you made is great. I doubt I'll get a chance to get my hands on the assembly kit but this makes a pretty nice tutorial for those who do have it :D
How often does tomenosuke restock blasters on their website?
I want one......
Great video, can't get this gun in Australia : (
I'm sorry to hear that. :/
You can in the UK if you havva UKARA licence but their not easy to getta hold of/in most parts of America as well as they hav no gun laws over their
Can you explain the entire process to get this blued (sanded, polished and blued) like your Blade Runner Blaster please ? :) The result is magnificent !
I will probably make a video on this later. I took some photos over the course of it all. Basically,
- I used different grades of sanding pads from 3M (UltraFine, MicroFine) and polished with steel wool (0000).
- Before bluing, I wiped the parts in acetone.
- I blued using cotton pads and applied it directly to the surface in long dedicated swoops.
- I used a clean cotton pad to wipe/rub the blued area immediately after.
- The small parts I dipped in a 1:10 concentration of the bluing chemical. This way the liquid could reach the small details that couldn't be reached manually. I dipped them and counted to 5. Then took them out and rinsed them and rubbed them.
- Whenever I felt that the corrosion was too dark or crusty, I would wipe gently the surfaces with clean steel wool (0000). To bring out the metal finish and make some patina on edges and details.
- I then soaked all the blued parts in acid free oil (hobby oil etc.). I left them for a day or more (whilst waiting for supplies to arrive).
- I then polished the receiver and bolt lever with Novus 2 (using a fine cloth) - an old T-shirt would do fine as well).
- Finally, I used Renaissance Wax on the receiver and bolt lever to give them a protective coat. Again, using a fine cloth.
I think that's basically it. As mentioned, will probably do a video later where I go over it again and show the various materials and tools that I used.
DarthChrisDK Thx for all those details ! A video would be perfect !
My pleasure. Stay tuned.
@@DarthChrisDK Did you use any 3 in 1 Oil? As it's metal screwing into metal🤔🔩🔫🤷♂️
Where on earth might i find one of these
I believe that Hollywood Collectibles are still selling different versioins of this from time to time.
A very nice job.
What did you use for the bluing on the metal parts?
Thanks! I used Casey's Aluminium Black.
DarthChrisDK It looks fantastic! I’ll use that on mine as well.
Have fun building. :)
DarthChrisDK Which one is the best ? Casey's perma blue or Casey's aluminium blue ? :)
I have had difficulties finding good comparisons of the two. Most videos just show one of them. I believe that that expert that did the blaster for Tomenosuke used Aluminium Blue. I have an idea that Perma Blue gives a more black color with a blue hue/tint - more cool. Like pearly. Aluminium Black, from what I can tell, is a more black color with grey hue/tint - more warm. But I have not compared them directly. It's more an impression of mine.
Which are the differences between pro version and non-pro version?
The differences are largely minor. There are not evident changes. It's in the details. I believe there are lists either here in the comments, or on forums. I don't recall the differences off the top of my head, sorry!
what are the songs you used for the vid?
I don't mean the Kevin Mcleod piece I mean the blade runner song
It should be mentioned in the description. I used a track by Chris Zabriskie as well.
thanks man! now I can listen to that in my sleep
Enjoy! :)
thanks, btw you're a frickin' professional at this. Love your high quality vids, keep up the amazing work
Is it a gun?or???
It's a prop or model. Not a live-firing gun. Its construction has parts taken from the design of real firearms, but the materials used on this model are not compatible with a real gun.
@@DarthChrisDK thank u sir.
@@DarthChrisDK Their2FB groups whereby you can build Deckard's1:1scale blaster from the1st Blade Runner film all in metal. And K's Blaster from Blade Runner 2049+the oridginal design of Syd Mead's blaster which never got the Greenlight
I might have to break into were you like
Jk it a joke Don't take it serious
