I'm jealous you have one already. I hope the current batch gets here soon.

I'm probably already on your list for one purple shard from the other thread. But just in case, I thought I'd mention it here, too.

I gave this (my second) Carnifex to Rana McAnear (the face model for Samara). I figured it would get used and appreciated much more than if I had just sent it to live on the Bioware wall of fanart/props. She's taken it to one con so far, and photos are starting to pop up from it. I'm stoked, and...

This one is done. I've even whipped up an orange barrel plug that assembles around a bolt, so it can just be threaded in the insert, and you can be compliant with laws and convention rules (I think, best check both before you think you're covered, but it's a step in the right direction).

I'd like to think I've made some progress with my electronics building since my first version, too. This is a shot of the first version, kind of cobbled together as I figured it out. And this is how it looks in my latest Carnifex. This one should also be easier to repair, if someone else...

I got some vinyl lettering made for this one, so I didn't have to spend hours trying to do it by hand. It has been so much easier, and it looks much nicer than the ones I tried on my last Carnifex.

I've got a couple coats of XTC-3D on it now, and it looks pretty good. It blends the layers in really well on parts that are flat or angular. The curved section was where I spent a lot of time cleaning up on my last version, and it looks great this time. The grip and other sections turned...

Resurrecting this thread because I've started work on a second one. I cut the model into smaller pieces in Solidworks, so it would be less prone to warping, or at least have less warping. That would also make it accessible to people who don't have a gigantic build platform (since the old version...

Someone else printed a copy of it, and they painted it to be the Paladin variant. That same awesome person drew up a display stand to go with it, and I printed one today. I might paint the stand and make it weathered so it'll match the carnifex, but I'm just thrilled to have actually on...

Here's the finished paint job, after a couple coats of varnish to seal it. That's probably all I'm going to do to this, though I may post pictures later when I make some of the barrel mods.

Finished the lettering, and I'm almost done weathering it. I've still got to do the other side, then give it a couple coats of varnish to protect it, then I'll be finished with this project. For now.

Finally got the lettering done on this side, just need to finish it on the other. After a little weathering and a couple layers of varnish to protect it, I'll be fininshed for now.

Although I'm not done with it just yet, I am far enough along that I wanted to publish and share the model. Here's a link to the thingiverse page where I've got it uploaded. I'll post links to other places as I get it posted. I'm putting it in my shapeways store, because I saw someone else had...

Most of the main red accents are done now, and all that's left is the lettering, and the couple of accents I need a circle template to finish. Here are some test shots with the electronics glued inside.

I have the electronics soldered together, and I've tested it out. The switch isn't going to fit where I'd originally planned, which is disappointing. However, it's really easy to pop it open to turn it on/off and close it again, thanks to the magnets. I've got some light tubing that I'll...
