Boba Fett? Boba Fett? Where?!
Nice model
One thing I never understood about star wars weapons was why they looked like they had a huge heatsink, but had no place to safely use as a grip. I know it's just aesthetics, and changing it would probably be a form of blasphemy if not just unnecessary, but I just wondered if anyone else had thought that.
An interesting question, I guess an in universe explanation is that most of the people using these weapons are well suited up and have gloves on which would protect their hands. The behind the scenes explanation is just that the prop builders had to put lots of bits and bobs on the old WW2 weapons to make the look futuristic and cool. We don't know if these details are heat sinks as we know them, or if they perhaps serve some other function.
Love this weapon! <3
Looks epic!
Awesome!
