Odin Makes: Han Solo's Blaster from Star Wars

[@Lord-Cutler-Beckett]

Can we appreciate that this man literally built an entire Mauser C-96 from scratch and then build Solo's DL-44 onto that.

[@joannafayegarabiles4750]

i love your work odin! i discovered you on cosplay prop shop & i am obsessed with your videos. you are hardworking & deserve all the praise. keep up the good work!

[@ericjohn3664]

Nice job Odin. Made a bowcaster for my daughter last year, now the other daughter wants Hans blaster. Appreciate all your details.

[@fin9406]

your children have good taste in star wars blasters.

[@shinrazilla]

The DL-44 is a classic pistol so it makes sense

[@worldofdrawing2496]

when this man walks in home depot the employees probably get goosebumps

[@ARC-77]

Underrated comment

[@leondebla1985]

Odin, I've seen a lot of videos about making Han Solo's Blaster. But this one is by far the best one! You are great!

[@Sleepless7452]

You're an artist Odin! I admire you.

[@ryoshiun]

By far the best prop built here and on DIY propshop, including the other makers lol

[@3DSage]

This turned out better than I thought. That looks really good!

[@swmoody263]

I have a Master Replicas DL-44 and without seeing this in person that looks a piece I would have no problem displaying also. Great job on that build!

[@sharkfinbite]

It is amazing how someone with a none block buster movie budget can make a movie level quality prop. It goes to show you, "You don't always need a big budget to make a movie level prop or effects." Sometimes you just need to have the right people, not half-assing at their job, and know what they are doing, or at least does critical thinking what material could result with something at a professional level movie prop and how to put it together.

[@creskey144]

"I plan to make the main body from foam, because I like foam." Good reason...

[@zacharyjochumsen9677]

@William Graulau will you ever try making your own star wars blaster as kid out if catdnord or foam

[@isaiahhatcher5984]

YAY!!! I am totally going to attempt to make this and fail, but it's gonna be fun!

[@banjobill8420]

isaiah hatcher Making props and costumes is like life. You're gonna make mistakes, but you learn from them

[@isaiahhatcher5984]

John 117 That's true. Sometimes I make mistakes that I end up keeping because they make the design either more realistic or I just weather it a ton.

[@OdinMakes]

If you have fun, is it truly a fail? there's a toy Mauser c96 on Amazon for like $14, and it's the right size. Just start with that instead!

[@isaiahhatcher5984]

Odin Makes I didn't think about using a mauser! Didn't they use something like that for the real prop? I know for Luke's lightsaber it was a graflex and Obi Wan had a bunch if grenade parts.

[@KinkyChrisRs]

The real blaster was a heavily modified Mauser c96 indeed.

[@davidlane07]

By far one of the coolest blaster builds I have ever seen. You sir are wizard.

[@christiankelly5130]

im making a han solo cosplay for school and i planned on just making the scope and barrel to attach to a mauser toy. this really helped

[@nicolastremblay9471]

Awesome build, Odin! That's a very nice example of how dry brushing metallic paint over black can do wonders. Looking up for those other builds!

[@MortiePL]

One could say that Odin is... godlike at making props.

[@asvarien]

You are a wizard with foam and plastic!

[@swipyduck]

I can't wait for the other star wars builds !! Looks amazing as usual :)

[@kevincunico7252]

You are the best. You inspired me to do this as a hobby. Thank you very much.

[@victorgarcia-yt3je]

Love your videos, there´s something about the way you do things that separet you from the resto prop channels. You look like a simple man that loves what he does.

[@christophersoprano-sculptor]

Odin's tutorials are my favorite! THANK YOU!

[@MDigitalProductions]

this is easily the most impressive build yet Odin !

[@Goo4You135]

I like the bloopers at the end of your videos worth waiting for ha, loving the channel Odin!

[@DatBoiOrly]

The only part of prop shop I enjoyed was doing keep up the good work

[@terminatorplayz4614]

Absoloutley amazing Odin. Useful info, and making a Han Blaster, whilst wearing that amazing shirt.

[@the_arcanum]

Congrats, you pulled a very convincing scratch build. Nice weathering too. The only part i would to repaint is the silver nozzle that doesnt look as good. Instead of silver paint, i'd try to use Rub n' Buff over a dark basecoat and somd acrylic inks for weathering afterward.

[@golnectr]

Definitely my new favorite channel.

[@KodenameKrusty]

I do like the way you make your props. This video was very informative and detail oriented. Thumbed this up.

[@giacomopandiani6290]

This guy is a wizard!

[@WickedScott]

Cool! I made a Star Trek ToS phaser almost exactly with this method except I used some foamcore to fill it out.

[@CGCSU55]

cool video Odin used a trick from your video to fix my dad's van the piece was missing on the side coming off so I took a little super glue and I'm going around the sides and put it on there left it on there overnight and it fixed it so thanks for your videos

[@Robodragon17]

If anyone is wondering ( if you somehow didn't know) the base gun is a mouser c96 and also @odinmakes this prop is awesome and the way you designed it would allow easy modifications to make any of the 15ish different blasters that are supposed to be the dl44 Such as the hero blaster ( what you made) The cantina gun Or the blasters from empire and jedi

[@xD3adKl0wnx]

Wow, man... that turned out freakin fantastic!

[@DIYGene]

Great video, super well done with easy to understand information.

[@FrigginBoomToys]

Ha, I'm glad you still include the methods you aren't happy with. I think it's important for prop makers to be honest sometimes and be like 'I did it this way, but I was an idiot and shouldn't have'.

[@PILOTPLAYSS]

Gorgeous work yet again, Odin! I think it would be fun to see you make a twin set of Tracer's guns also. Something futuristic next to Han's older looking gun.

[@tedfisher1913]

Wow, badass job on this one!

[@basilioboy1122]

This is a really good channel. Please do more.

[@MartinBlass]

Very impressed with the work on the "broom handle" :-O Great job!

[@wilwhy7354]

That is amazing Harrison Ford would be proud

[@Rich77UK]

Thats a bloody good Mauser/Han solos blaster.

[@brady4132]

OMG your awesome! first vid of yours ive seen and i just dont understand how you dont have atleast a million subs by now your awesome at this your very professional and you go into fantastic detail of your work!!

[@dozone6043]

Good trigger discipline . Kool outro, Clever catchphrase.

[@zsandmann]

I applaud the something from nothing approach but a painted and weathered toy looks better in the end I think, and you could get a cast resin model for the cost of these supplies I believe.

[@froginatub]

Great build man! I love your channel, as an... let's say aspiring, cosplayer, I feel like I learn a lot from your videos!

[@JGDeRuvo]

Great job Odin!

[@elisa-yb9wy]

Thanks for making Han Solos blaster

[@DrJonesCreations]

Great build Odin! I've been waiting for someone to do this build on Prop Shop to for a long time.

[@Kremmen2001]

Best make yet.

[@CalebFaulkner]

Odin. You have so much talent!! (this is an emoji of me gasping)

[@crosline]

Just make something you will like to craft, thanks for the video

[@RedKamikaze85]

I love your level of creativity! That was very fun to watch 😆

[@carlanatalymendezaroche5048]

Awesome blaster

[@CrispyBacon1738]

After watching a bunch of Odins videos, I found out what he likes: plastic, super glue, and foam.

[@jonnieZG]

Nice one! Here's a hint: you can use plastic from a CD for scope lenses. It gives a great anti-glare effect and looks like a real deal. Using exacto/utility-knife split a CD in half and cut out lenses out of the transparent bottom layer (the one that protects the metal layer in the middle).

[@OdinMakes]

Really? That sounds like an awesome idea! Thank you.

[@jedimasterjay4646]

Hey Odin!! Thanks for the videos!! This was really cool!! This is really inspiring!

[@nj3309]

Looks great!

[@StariusPrime]

I gave this video a thumbs up the instant I heard, "when Han shot first." ;)

[@richbaker8211]

Thank you for your videos, Odin. You've really inspired me to start making my own props :D

[@Xzeebo]

Love your style of filming and editing btw!

[@CooperH10]

You just blew my mind

[@ottomatix3397]

Don't underestimate the hunger of a belt sander😉 Seriously though, fantastic build.👍

[@paulgertsch7105]

Turned out awesome 👍

[@josh.8104]

That little key ring part at the bottom of the handle is for a lanyard. The DL-44 Heavy was originally made from a Mauser C96. I'd really love to see a version made from maybe an airsoft gun. it would have a working trigger/hammer system.

[@TofuRabbit]

Your weathering is so on point. Amazing job sir :D

[@FleurvanhH.9954]

Just a quick fact, the Han Solo blaster is called: DL44. It was heavily modified, just like the falcon😊 great video Odin!

[@beckymurphy4714]

Watching you make things is like seeing magic happen in slow motion.

[@NathanLange]

You say not museum quality, but looks just as good as my Master Replicas one, and probably weighs 10 times less. Thanks for sharing, I'll attempt soon.

[@mugensamurai]

Did you shoot it first?

[@harublismur3596]

i think he did. han didnt shoot first. Odin Makes did

[@toyotaAETruenoGT-APEX]

And the hacksmith made a working one

[@genralgreevus7521]

Yes he did

[@Awaturi]

I made the exact same on! thanks so much for the tutorial my freinds gonna be so jealous!

[@MrLawfodder]

Great Video, the belt sander comment made my coffee sprayed.

[@triplesevensix291]

Awesome job.

[@MELtedcheese98]

HE'S THE MAN!

[@LetsMakeCoolStuff]

Dude this is spectacular!!!

[@Patricwithnok]

great stuff as always

[@cadu1990]

Cool, waiting for the next

[@joeward2816]

Nice, but the barrel is black behind the emitter shroud. Ive been turning an airsoft Mauser into a DL44 and I'm glad I watched this as thanks to you I finally know how to add the coil on the magazine well

[@unluckyrips]

I love you ODIN!!!!

[@OdinMakes]

Hugs to Dsquid!!!

[@RSpudieD]

This is incredible!

[@joeiorio9654]

this is great! I love star wars and today's my birthday!

[@xrxmnxx6773]

Undersized repainted Toy lol that Was savage xD cool video bro!

[@Experiment6Two6]

There are full-size plastic Mauser replicas that fire (*barely*) rubber bullets available on Amazon for about $10-$12 with Prime shipping (they come in bright blue or yellow). These would make an awesome jump start on building a fairly decent replica of Solo's DL-44. I have ordered one myself, and hope to combine parts from that with the Rubie's Han Solo blaster and a custom-made scope to make my own.

[@ensvenskperson7661]

This was.... EPIC. Btw, the name of the blaster is DL-44.

[@xaviero9821]

Awesome dude!

[@Toolness1]

The original had a blued barrel/muzzle brake, looks better than the sliver. Other than that nitpick, looks really awesome, good job!

[@OdinMakes]

Thank you! That is a really nice compliment. This is a scary prop to take on, it seems like it's nearly religious in it's reverence. I am looking to do another, I will try to remember to blue the barrel/muzzle brake on the new one.

[@FloydWaxlerStudios]

Cool! Very well done!

[@arohk1579]

Wow very cool ,I just found your channel. I would like to see you do an E-11 Stormtrooper blaster.

[@joshbate5512]

Please make Rick Deckard's pistol from the film Blade runner :)

[@honda6353]

Josh Bate aha, That Gun....... kill me if you don't get the reference.

[@McMeatBag]

That's the one prop gun I've always wanted to own

[@tobbsnobb1366]

Anton Richter FO bro!

[@fanglancey4088]

Josh Bate Z A

[@honda6353]

Tobbsnobb Fallout New Vegas! Bam!

[@KatelynAriel]

That’s very cool look great😀

[@LivefreeanddiyTv]

Very cool... nice work 🤓👍

[@ArtemGlue]

very nice build, Odin! Could you also make the laser pistol from Fallout sometime?

[@Samsunggalaxy-fd4bd]

i realy love this, congrats💖

[@blasters_kybers]

Wow!!! Eso se ve impresionante! Buen trabajo! 💪😎

[@stevewoodford4844]

You have awesome skills brother! I sucribed to your channel and definitely gave your video a thumbs up. I can't wait to see what you make next!

[@literally-just-a-lemon]

Can you please make all the different incarnations of the on-screen batterangs?

[@backerman10]

Awesome and subscribed!

[@loresamba]

Grande Artigiano !

[@jimdigriz2923]

'kin awesome. Amazing build. Subbed :) looking forward to the next build.

[@CosmicGaijin]

Make a plumbus from Rick & Morty Odin! That'll be equally as hilarious and disturbing to se birthed in scale.

[@SawMorbus]

why would he do one?? every one already has one at home

[@bcpblanksta]

Odin please make a scar from fortnite please. I''ll die if you do

[@bcpblanksta]

TheSawTroller I don't

[@kubahavlicek1933]

Do you have any idea how difficult it is to make Plumbus? I doubt that he have dinglebop or schleem.

[@martinbarnes3678]

I would love to see you make a Wookiee bow caster or a gungan bomb

[@MainlyDak]

Yup
