Princess Leia Prop Blaster Build
For this post, I wanted to do something special for our female Star Wars fans…a Princess Leia prop blaster! This is a relatively quick and easy build. As we all know, Leia is a Princess, and never skimped on clothing (except when she was with Jabba) or weapons. No weathering was applied to this blaster…a Princess would use a weapon in pristine condition. This prop can be used as an accessory with your cosplay outfit, a Star Wars weapons display, or given as a gift to that special Star Wars lady in your life 🙂 Check out the video below to learn how to build your own Defender Sporting Blaster Pistol.
