Airsoft/Model Cap Gun PKD

[AndoShinobi]

Hi folks,
Having been rooting around in the studio’s old 3d printed parts bin and spending time in a lot of used airsoft/model gun stores in Japan recently has given me the desire and opportunity to make both a 6mm shooting PKD along with a model gun version.

Having acquired a snub nosed version of the Charter Arms Bulldog (more suited to the Punished Props PKD as it’s the ‘undercover’ chambered in .38 Special) I am about to start building and fitting the body parts to the airsoft gun I found.

I may not go all the way and chop this one up as it’s a super rare gun from the 80s and instead fit/match it to a current model of similar size and save the original gun for casting or sell it to someone that wants it.

Let me know your thoughts on that.
Here are some pics and a comparison to the water gun for scale.

The second version will be built around a Smith and Wesson small framed revolver Model Gun that shoots nice 7mm capped ‘blanks’ and makes a nice flash for the camera/video shoots.

Parts from the Off-World blaster might be the best match for your Bulldog as their replica was based off the .38 calibre revolver rather than the more accurate .44

Thank you very much for the tip userd1402
I don’t have extensive knowledge of the various makers so I’ll check them out
I do have access to a few Tomenosuke stunt models and might give those a try as well.
Right now I also have some light printed parts for Bill Duran’s ‘update’ so I might give them a fit for an alternative.

What are your thoughts on that blaster?

Not sure if this would be suitable but there's a resin Steyr parts kit available that might be of interest.

I have only ever handled Tomenosuke, Sidkit, Coyle and Off-World models so I have no experience with resin or 3d printed pieces I'm afraid.
