I'm surprised to learn that it's paint on the flash hider, nice work! You've absolutely captured the look of those old pics. Amazing!

Now you just need the S&W 1917 and you've got the Holy Harrison Trilogy! Are you in on Sarednab's run?

Couldn't agree more veektohr, the prefect trio!

Sadly no I am not on Sarednab's run. Its become almost impossible to get replica's into my State and even with the correct paperwork, the last one got destroyed in a furnace..

Two icons joined together in one photo. Stunning. Absolutely stunning.

I received my DL-44 kit from Todd's yesterday. Now let the fun begin! Already gathered all the correct metal stamps.

I'd love to see a video or tutorial about the stamps and where you found them. Once you start adding the little details like that it really add's a lot !

Most of the stamps are custom made. Right now most of my prop stuff is in storage because we just moved to a new house. But I'll make sure to start a thread once the build gets going

Curious how you got the pitted rusted look on the blade runner blaster?

There's a tutorial on my web page documenting the process.

Great copy of the Bapty piece!

KramStaar , I know it's only painted to look rusty.... but I want so badly to tell you to oil that poor thing!

Great job! Your painting skills are phenomenal! Oh, and I love that you hard lit your comparison photos to look like the original photos!!!

What he said!! I think it looks great! Nice work!

I'm particularly jealous of your scope and your dovetail mount!

I was reading up on blueing and actually just noticed that Todd’s kit is already blued. [emoji85] Didn’t even notice it when I did the purchase. LOL

Me too. Not sure what Todd’s turnaround is. At least it is going to be UPS!
