How to Make Din Djarin's Blaster from Star Wars The Mandalorian out of Foam - Free Blueprint

Hey everyone! I'm showing How to Make Din Djarin's Blaster from Star Wars The Mandalorian out of Foam with a Free PDF Pattern! And yes I am really excited for The Mandalorian Season 3 ! This was a really fun build and I'm incredibly happy with how the tutorial and prop came out. To go along with the foam tutorial I also go over all of the painting techniques including wood grain and graphite powder applications. This EVA Foam fabrication blaster looks amazing and weighs next to nothing so it's great as a display piece or perfect for your Mandalorian Cosplay. To help you out this Mandalorian blaster build also comes with Free blueprints that I created that can be found on my website. So if you want to protect the Child ( Baby Yoda / Grogu ) or possibly fight off some bounty hunters with Ahsoka Tano this is the blaster for you.

I’m not at your level. But one day I might be. Thanks for all your blueprints.

Hi, love the built, looking forward to trying it myself. Question: is there another way to make the small punch out foam that you use the leather tool for @11:32?

You could use really small google eyes or make your own punch out of small brass tubes. Sharpen the end and press into the foam

Well done! did you know this weapon is a modified version of the actual 1894 Bergmann No. 1 Pistol? It was an automatic German pistol designed by Louis Schmeisser and sold by Theodor Bergmann's company. Super cool!!!

[@user-gn5uy6lx7z]

As always enjoyed the video. I'm glad that you don't waste time trying to introduce yourself, the object that you are making and just small talk. I do have a question, please consider answering, thanks. Would you make a video that gives you a sort of beginner guide to what you need to begin making diy projects. Do you sell kit's already made up with everything you need to do "Whatever " projects ? If no maybe you can make one for the beginner and advertise that as a promotional product. I believe that would make you a million in a year easy and being a marketer I would give the chance of 30-70 on the inside of making your investment tripled on the market.

[@SKSProps]

I already did a beginners guide video you can check it out here kzbin.info/www/bejne/oInUnGiag9CDn6M

Great video. Please make a video for a RotJ Luke lightsaber. Nobody does a good budget version tutorial of that hilt.

Thanks!

[@jeffburnham6611]

Incredible build. Always wondered why there would need to be a "hammer" on an energy weapon, it's not as if there is a firing pin striking a projectile.

[@schibstedfredensborg2807]

That is becouse it is based on an actual wepon. A Bergman 1894 No. 1.

[@SKSProps]

Because in the original trilogy the guns they rented could only be modified to a certain extent before they were returned and they are keeping with that tradition

[@MrFTW]

Really awesome, how messy does working with the graphite get?

Great template! I'm going to have fun making it! I did print it too big though so I have to scale it down. Do you think you could add like a mini ruler scale so its easier to match the size?
