Odin Makes: Han Solo's Blaster from Star Wars
I make Han Solo’s Blaster from Star Wars, from foam and PVC.
No Bothans were harmed in the making of this video.
Odin Abbott is also a host with DIY Prop Shop, and Odin Makes continues the desire to show how to make items for yourself.

Can we appreciate that this man literally built an entire Mauser C-96 from scratch and then build Solo's DL-44 onto that.
when this man walks in home depot the employees probably get goosebumps
Underrated comment
"I plan to make the main body from foam, because I like foam." Good reason...
@William Graulau will you ever try making your own star wars blaster as kid out if catdnord or foam
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!
Odin's tutorials are my favorite! THANK YOU!
By far the best prop built here and on DIY propshop, including the other makers lol
Nice job Odin. Made a bowcaster for my daughter last year, now the other daughter wants Hans blaster. Appreciate all your details.
your children have good taste in star wars blasters.
The DL-44 is a classic pistol so it makes sense
By far one of the coolest blaster builds I have ever seen. You sir are wizard.
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.
You're an artist Odin! I admire you.
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!
You are the best. You inspired me to do this as a hobby. Thank you very much.
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!
I can't wait for the other star wars builds !! Looks amazing as usual :)
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!
Very impressed with the work on the "broom handle" :-O Great job!
Awesome job.
That is amazing Harrison Ford would be proud
Looks great!
Turned out awesome 👍
I do like the way you make your props. This video was very informative and detail oriented. Thumbed this up.
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.
YAY!!! I am totally going to attempt to make this and fail, but it's gonna be fun!
isaiah hatcher Making props and costumes is like life. You're gonna make mistakes, but you learn from them
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.
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!
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.
The real blaster was a heavily modified Mauser c96 indeed.
this is easily the most impressive build yet Odin !
You are a wizard with foam and plastic!
i realy love this, congrats💖
Brilliant
One could say that Odin is... godlike at making props.
Wow, man... that turned out freakin fantastic!
Hey Odin!! Thanks for the videos!! This was really cool!! This is really inspiring!
Absoloutley amazing Odin. Useful info, and making a Han Blaster, whilst wearing that amazing shirt.
Damn! It looks amazing! Well done Odin!
This turned out better than I thought. That looks really good!
Wow, badass job on this one!
This is incredible!
You just blew my mind
this is amazing
great stuff as always
Great build Odin! I've been waiting for someone to do this build on Prop Shop to for a long time.
Great build man! I love your channel, as an... let's say aspiring, cosplayer, I feel like I learn a lot from your videos!
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
Best make yet.
Your weathering is so on point. Amazing job sir :D
I love your level of creativity! That was very fun to watch 😆
Great video, super well done with easy to understand information.
Amazing
Love your style of filming and editing btw!
Awesome dude!
This guy is a wizard!
After watching a bunch of Odins videos, I found out what he likes: plastic, super glue, and foam.
Thank you for your videos, Odin. You've really inspired me to start making my own props :D
Cool! Very well done!
The only part of prop shop I enjoyed was doing keep up the good work
Cool! I made a Star Trek ToS phaser almost exactly with this method except I used some foamcore to fill it out.
Definitely my new favorite channel.
outstanding
I made the exact same on! thanks so much for the tutorial my freinds gonna be so jealous!
I like the bloopers at the end of your videos worth waiting for ha, loving the channel Odin!
Wow!!! Eso se ve impresionante! Buen trabajo! 💪😎
Great job Odin!
Love it
beautifull
That’s very cool look great😀
awesome
So cool~!!
Cool, waiting for the next
Cool vid
Very cool... nice work 🤓👍
Awesome and subscribed!
Dude this is spectacular!!!
'kin awesome. Amazing build. Subbed :) looking forward to the next build.
This is a really good channel. Please do more.
Just make something you will like to craft, thanks for the video
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.
Ahh this build is cool.
Good trigger discipline . Kool outro, Clever catchphrase.
veeeeery nice
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
Thanks for making Han Solos blaster
Thats a bloody good Mauser/Han solos blaster.
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.
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!!
Nice
Really is an artista!!
Nice video
HE'S THE MAN!
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
I love you ODIN!!!!
Hugs to Dsquid!!!
damn, that was good!
I gave this video a thumbs up the instant I heard, "when Han shot first." ;)
Odin. You have so much talent!! (this is an emoji of me gasping)
Please make Rick Deckard's pistol from the film Blade runner :)
Josh Bate aha, That Gun....... kill me if you don't get the reference.
That's the one prop gun I've always wanted to own
Anton Richter FO bro!
Josh Bate Z A
Tobbsnobb Fallout New Vegas! Bam!
Grande Artigiano !
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!
nice video
YESSS!!! FINALLY!!!!!!
Just a quick fact, the Han Solo blaster is called: DL44. It was heavily modified, just like the falcon😊 great video Odin!
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.
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.
