Re: Rogue One Felicity Jones gun - ideas
Looking better, I'm not sure what "flange" you're referring to, though.
And I still think the barrel vent holes look a tiny bit too large. Sorry!
Everything else is looking pretty spot on. I think the shoulder cutouts may have looked better before, I'll have to look back. They look great now, but the cuts were made by hand it seems, on the real prop, and do there's an angle there at the top of the part closest to the barrel end. I think I'd split the difference between what you had and what you have now. The very rear shoulder looks great, though!
Keep it up, it's coming along really nicely!
Lemme see if I can get a photo of the rear sight area for you...
So THAT'S why the whole thing looked off to me, the rear sight wasn't right!Thanks @Dann! I've made the vent holes on the barrel a tad bit smaller. I've also retained the bevels of the receiver shoulder on both sides.

Things I need to do still do:
1. Greeble opposite the takedown lever
2. Adjust the small hole in the underbarrel rail to just an indentation and not a hole
3. Figure out how to connect the underbarrel rail to the gun (currently considering connecting it to the flange on the barrel).
4. Consider flattening the "flare" I've referenced before
5. Need to do testing on how specifically the barrel, shroud, and everything will connect. (This is probably where the 3D print guys will come in handy!)
-I've designed based on ideas presented in this thread, but I need to trial and error some of it. I originally planned to make pieces for a working airsoft gun, but it should work either way
6. Rear sights. I probably need to redo the rear sights for accuracy, as the model I'm working on is different than the one's like these:
I greatly appreciate if anyone could post photos of the rear sight piece, especially if it is of just the rear sight piece disassembled by itself!
For those who are familiar with 3D printing, how clean does the model need to be? Like what if there are tiny (I mean like imperceptible) gaps between polygons. I'm just wondering whether or not I'm going to have to go over the model with a fine tooth comb...fingers crossed that I can avoid this.
As always, head over to my thread for higher resolution photos and more details.
