My understanding on this particular gun was...
It was made custom to ship to me after i had paid cash for two of them. The first demo piece was made and taken to a convention to show off. It was there that the "fragile issue" became a really noticeable issue. Someone tried to cock the gun and shattered the the cowling. From there my order became delayed into oblivion. A bit pissed about it still. Latta was suppose to make it up for me but never did. He was to make a few Icons Nautilus models and send them to me via a legal compromise but at the very end those models seemed to make it to MiM instead as Icons closed down. So double burned on the whole issue. Always interesting to see the very prop which I financed out of my own pocket at least.
