That's just gorgeous.
Thanks guys. Hopefully the results will be worth all the hours (ok, days... weeks) of work! Jan 21 cannot come quickly enough...

There is a build, somewhere in the prop's section, using sheet styrene in a pep like manner to make a Lawgiver.
The fellow posted the file.
Edit:
Skeg was the builder but the file isn't there anymore.

He wrote in his tread to PM him if you want the file.
I briefly considered a styrene model but ultimately rejected it due to the difficulties of tweaking and getting things both accurate and clean. Skeg did a very good job at getting his gun nice and smooth. A great build. There are a lot of subtle curves on this thing and those are always difficult to do in styrene. You usually have to make sacrifices and I wanted my LG to go as far as possible towards accuracy, barring having one actually machined. A few years ago I did a similar project in styrene from Firefly- addons to a 1911 from the movie . It turned out "ok". I've recently redone an entire kit for a fresh build, to be printed alongside the Lawgiver.
I just got a note saying my model was in production, so I assume that the geometry has passed their tests and is printable. Huuzah!
In the meantime... I did this little fella:

love the gas grenade, I don't think anyone has offered those or the door blast charges yet...
Hi, all. If anyone's looking to make a full depth LCD fit, here's a graphic LCD that would be able to display the Lawgiver graphics (a regular character LCD won't). The thickness is indeed a worry, but with a cyan or teal gel over it, it would look perfect.

If you were dead set on using a lcd, you could always cut the slide of the glock tomake room. It will be hidden by the shell anyway... and it wouldn't kill the airsoft functionality either!
Nothing yet.
UPS just dropped off a package at my house... update when I get home.
