Marauder Gun-Runners "Sci-Fi Blaster" Prototype.
« on: February 25, 2018, 08:30:25 AM »
Lets set the "Way Back Machine" to over a decade ago:

A little company called "Marauder Gun-Runners" had just gotten started with an assortment of 1/18 scale action figure accessories. I befriended the owner and reviewed his very first offerings on several websites. In his next series of weapons, he creates the "Sci-Fi Blaster" based on some ideas I suggested for future items.

During the manufacturing process, 2 prototypes were made, 1 for review/approval and 1 to use in creating the production tooling (this prototype unfortunately gets destroyed during the process).

Shortly before the series became available to the public, I received a parcel in the mail containing a baggie with a dozen production Blasters, the handwritten note seen below and the surviving prototype!

I have had these in my possession since then but they were in one of the many boxes of customizing parts in my garage where they had been "temporarily" placed as I was going through a move when the parcel arrived and I just found them today. I want to get a nice frame to put them in and hang them in a place of honor in my Hobby Room :)
