Bladerunner PKD Blaster

[2018. Personal work]


A modeling and rendering exercise trying to recreate the hero prop blaster from the original Bladerunner movie. Scouring the internet for references I tried to make it as accurate as possible without driving myself crazy. The goal is to eventually build a physical version.

This prop was constructed from parts of a Steyr Mannlicher .222 Model SL and a Charter Arms Bulldog revolver. Side covers were added to cover the Bulldog's cylinder, and different bolt heads and screw heads were used to offer an illusion of knobs and controls. The gun was also equipped with at least 6 LED lights, though not all of them worked throughout the production.

Modeled in Solidworks and Blender.

Rendered in Keyshot.
