if i drill into the hollow spots - visible in the trigger guard area - and use a syringe to shoot resin in that cavity will that make it more solid ?

Yes it will , I'd drop in a few lead shot fishing line weights then add the resin this should give the handle a lot more weight and the resin will solidify and stop thm rattling about

more pics .... working off the pics of the hero firing lawgiver on this page : Judge Dredd movie Lawgiver... anyone have one? in Guns Guns Guns! Forum i have designed changes in the resin to emulate that version - this will be phase 2 of my construction - this is turning into more of a build thread .....LOL

** I am more than 24 hours into this replica so far and havent even scratched the surface

-pics are self explanitory i think - crude drawings on the replica of where carving and detailing will take place

pics:

** in this photo i could use a half-side view of how the hammer and tail of the baretta fit under the slide - any help would be appreciated

** also planned is to cut and remove the magazine bottom and attach it to a baretta airsoft magazine and drill out handle area to accomidate it - still trying to work out how to keep it in there though

*** i'd also like to add a trigger in there , but need ideas as to how to go about that - was considering drilling up thru the current trigger guard and installing one that way - then skinning the guard with abs and doing a resin fill to solidify the area again - ideas on that ? comments ?

That casting looks like the super rough one i bought cheap to practice on. It was really warped in spots. This is a nice looking cleanup.
