Right! The files for this are now up on Thingiverse: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1363661 I've put some details as to the non-printed parts in the description. The piece is fairly self-explanatory in terms of construction, but feel free to post here if you have any questions. Enjoy!

Thanks! I'm currently printing a Portal Gun. It's a bit of nostalgia as it's the first prop I ever made and I want to redo it. I will try and sort one out for you! This was actually a gift for someone, so I'll have to ask if they're okay with me stealing it for a while. Watch this space. I...

Everyone knows the Colt M1911; it was the U.S. Army's standard issue sidearm for more than 40 years and it's been in so many movies I'm not even going to try and list them all. I've actually made one before, but I didn't pay much mind to the tolerances needed for parts to move past each other...

Thanks! To be fair, I'm not that into Skyrim, but I got one of these and kinda had to make it...

I built this ages ago (another EVA foam build) but put off painting it for like two months. But, at long last here it is (sorry for the less-than-professional photography): As I said, made from EVA. Used a pepakura file to cut the foam shapes, then glued them together. Painting was fun: I...

Wow, really? Really incredible work in that case. I know it's a bit cheeky to ask after you've put all that work in, but are you ever planning on sharing the files? I'd completely understand if not, but I'd really love a couple of these for myself!

Looks like that stuff might be worth a look, getting prints really smooth without a vapour chamber is a real pain in the arse. Thanks for the heads up on the woodgrain thing too, I'll do a few tests and see what works!

Thank you both! Lord, that's a pretty sweet mask you've got there...might give making that a shot... I'm jealous, laser. Here in the UK getting the real deal is considerably more difficult unfortunately. I was looking at getting a set of 'proper' M1911 grips, but I wasn't sure they'd fit my...

Some seriously cool stuff on here, big fan of your Unkempt Harold. Where are you getting your files for 3D printing?

Thanks! Well, I could alter the model to allow for the paint so everything would still move, but even then a working replica would be quite difficult. Some of the parts in an actual 1911 are very thin (for example, the armature that goes around the magazine to release the hammer), and plastic...

Because I am miles behind the pop culture curve most of the time, I only recently got around to playing Fallout 3. I loved it. It was fun, challenging, well-made by Bethesda's standards, and hilariously gruesome. Above all, the aesthetic was spot on. I had an old British Army issue gas mask...

Hello RPF, A while ago I bought a 3D printer (a Printrbot Simple, to be exact), and have spent the last year or so modifying it and getting to grips with the whole process of printing and processing parts. Now that I have, I decided to have a go at making a prop that is entirely 3D printed. A...

Hello again! I've been dark for a while, owing to moving house and summer exams and not actually having anything to post. But! For the last few weeks I've been working on a replica of the M-6 Carnifex Hand Cannon from the Mass Effect games. It's a pretty satisfying pistol to use in-game, looks...

Forgot to say: this build would have been a LOT harder without this fantastic instructable. If you're looking to build your own reactor, this is a good place to look.

Actually managed to get the lights done today! Found the LEDs had arrived, so went out, bought myself a new soldering iron (my old one broke just as I was about to start..) and got to work. I was soldering 12 surface-mount LEDs to a circle of PCB material. They look like this: That little...
