Hrm. I just checked Pbase and for some reason some of the thumbnails
aren't working, but when I clicked on them, the full sized photo loaded

Keep in mind that is a first attempt that I banged out in a half an

That is the end of a Kroot rifle. I made one where the las-gun was cut
back to just in front of the wide part of the rifle & then matched the
Kroot piece to it. It looked too short, so I didn't bother uploading it.

little more simple.
