@Revell-Fan and I had a long talk about some of the greebling. We had to go back and check out various reference material pertaining to this prop, and found out that there was a "rifle" selector switch on it.
@Revell-Fan was able to make working parts
I started assembling the selector switch.
I attached the selector switch to the receiver.
This video shows that the selector switch is functional.

Wait, still more to come this is not just a blaster it is becoming a rellic. Great work guys.

Your work is so precise that the model almost looks like it was made from real metal.

After considerable discussion (between @Revell-Fan and myself) and a bit of research, it was determined that part 79 is an indicator dial.
So, I reconfigured the component to be a "functioning" dial (that will rotate back-and-forth).
Here are the parts
Starting with the swivel disc. I laminated the center disc to 0.5mm thick and then attached it in place.
I placed the base of the dial over the small disc, so that it goes through the whole of the base. Then place the medium white disc on top of the small disc. (This will allow everything to pivot).
I finished assembling the cone accordingly.
I attached the rings on top of the cone (to form a "target" pattern).
I place the black strips on the side of the cone (evenly).
I attached the indicator in place.
Here is a video showing functionality of the dial.

I love to see all the moving bits and you guys have put a lot of details on it. Keep it coming.
Thank you.
All that I have left to work on for this project is the stand.
It is now time for the stand.
Here are the parts for the support struts.
The support struts are assembled.
Here are the parts for the base of the stand.
Assembling the skin of the base.
The skin is fully assembled.
I decided to add more formers for the base
(Yes, @Revell-Fan have these photos so that he can add them to the template, if he wishes).
The formers are assembled.
I inserted the formes in the skin.
I attached the bottom of the base.
I attached the support struts.
This project is finished.
Thank you for watching. I hope that you enjoyed this thread.
If you choose to build this model and have any questions about what I have done (or just general questions about the template or assembly instructions), please feel free to ask either @Revell-Fan or myself.
