Limited Run Aluminium M40 Grenade (Aliens Pulse Rifle)

[nomuse]

After a lot of soul-searching, I've ended the original run at #9.

I was rushing a little during the last of the run, and I feel that led to some small flaws and compromises and basically fell below my personal standards. I need to upgrade my tooling a little, I need to continue evolving my process, and I need to not be in such a hurry.

 

[tmax]

Yes sir, definitely still after 2. Cheers.

 

[Vitus]

Still in for 3. Thanks for grandfathering me in!

Got mine today. WOW. What a fine piece of machine work. Love it, love it, thanks. Now I just need to put it in my pulse rifle. Damn.

My set just arrived and they are fantastic. Many thanks nomuse :thumbsup

Especially liked the accompanying 'document' . . . . "you always were an a-hole Gorman" . . . . I'm sure customs got a laugh out of that :lol

 

[nomuse]

Thanks!

I hoped you'd get a laugh from that. I made it so intentionally cheesy...

(And oddly accurate..the data is right, I actually do business under that name -- short but boring story why I got stuck with that -- and I even went through the effort of making my own screen cap.)

That's Badass! :lol

I haven't forgotten -- still need to wait until I am in production on Shrek before I have some shop time again. Is even worse now; I got snagged for an emergency lighting design so I'm juggling four shows at the moment. I'm looking at mid-June when my schedule really opens up again, but I will see what I can do to sneak a few shop days in earlier....

 

[tmax]

No worries. Keep us posted.

 

[SHIMKO]

Can I have one with no moving parts, please?

 

[Provadan]

I would be interested in one of each if you make more. One with moving parts and one solid with a green "cap" if possible.

thank you,

Dan

[majormalfuntion]

Could I get 2 finished cap in red posted to uk ?

 

[nomuse]

Back to cutting metal. I still need IM's with shipping address, confirmation of items wanted, and any other details from Gobelas, darkknight007316, vitus, SHIMKO, Provadan, majormalfunction. And thanks tmax -- don't forget to send my your shipping address!

I'd still love to hear from anyone who has a prop PR that can chamber, to see if they've been able to do it. The revised .790" diameter should fit both standard shotguns and even some Airsoft, but the 2.42" overall dimension may be problematic.

 

[Vitus]

still in for 3. 1 in each color. Thanks for grandfathering me in.
Sending PM, man.

 

[darthsideous]

Interested in one with a cap. Sorry should have said I am interested in one with a red cap with white stripe.

 

[Provadan]

I would be interested in 4 stationary...1 green, 2 blue and 1 red. These are amazing!

Thanks!

I wish I had anodizing available -- those painted tops are going to scratch too easy. (I also need to create a new tool to make a better cap-edge groove).

I'll mark you for four "shimko specials" when I revise the list tonight -- shipping tmax and vitus today.

 

[Provadan]

Ha ha! Thank you! The perfect addition to my USCM costume.

 

[darthsideous]

Thanks for shiping mine today I'll let you know when it arrives.
