    Oct 20, 2012 - A cheap lawgiver! #1

    Hey all,

    Im a big dredd fan and ive always wanted a lawgiver. Not having a lot of money means i cant afford proper replicas so im always looking for a cheap alternative.
    I work at Toys R Us and noticed that the Airzone Quickfire pistol looks an aweful lot like a lawgiver.

    So i bought them with the intention of just doing a repaint but decided to take it a step further. As far as ive read the dredd 3D version of the lawgiver is based on a glock and i had an old airsoft metal one that was no longer working.

    I gutted the quickfire of internal parts and sanded down any excess plastic inside to leave me with just both sides of the shell.

    It was a pretty tight fit and took a fair amount of time with the dremel to get it right. Eventually i got both halves screwed on top of the glock and stuck a bit of hot glue on it to hold them in place. Next i decided to cut off the tactical rail at the top because i didn't feel like it needed it. The lawgiver doesn't seem the gun to need a tactical attachment.

    Then i did a bit of rondo/sanding on the top to fill in the gap from the rails removal and around the joint between the quickfire shell and the glock.
    Then whacked on some primer

    I filled in the housing for the front clip and stuck in a few details for fake lights (cause im not so savvy with electronics and im short on time).

    I was filling in around the handle when i noticed id sanded too far with the dremel on that side and cut right through the 'circular' detail at the rear where the airzone sticker had been.

    The only solution i could come up with was to make a fake trigger release style switch and stick it ontop of some rondo lol. Just a little bit of styrene i shaped.

    Anyhoo, i painted and weathered it quickly and heres the finished article;

    Thanks

    Very cool, it looks like Nerf was trying to make a lawgiver to start with from the look of the gun you bought.

    Thanks everyone!
    There are certain aspects of it I'm going to work on if i have time but i have a lot of other things on my plate.
    Mostly just the areas at the back where the rondo is messy. I'm thinking about completely rebuilding it with styrene. Also was thinking of adding the round control module like you see in the older lawgivers, it was always one design feature i loved in the comics.

    If love to rework it to look a bit more like the concept version for the Dredd3D lawgiver

    As much as i loved the new gun, that one would have been awesome to see built lol.

    Any thoughts?

    you know, I never even considered looking at TRU US site. I just figured shipping would be horrendous.
    But I've bought that twin pack, shipped from the US for £17.93
