Battlestar Galactica (2004) Season 1 Colonial Pistol

This particular one is for a Halloween costume, so there isn't much need for a trigger. I've had trouble casting triggers in the past so I omitted it in favor of adding one later if needed.

Hard to tell from the pictures but those casts look uber clean! One might even say you've done this sort of thing before.... :lol

Here is one of the pistols, finished and painted!

And here's me with the guns... hehee. =)

Yeah, that resembles Matt's older "puzzle" builds. I actually like the way the Python looks compared to the screen accurate S&W.

Looks great by the way! You should consider doing a run sometime. :cool

Totally awesome from start to finish.Great work....

Thanks for all of the great feedback!

@Mercury Forgive me for being a total noob, but what do you mean by "consider doing a run"? Are you telling me I need to get in better shape? Maybe run a 5k? =)

Trust me, I'm in no shape myself to tell someone they need to exercise. Lol. The term "run" here means as in to make casts available for sell to other members. I already have one of Matt's but this model of BSG blaster is kind of popular and I don't believe he still makes them. I know he doesn't make the Python version anymore. Just a thought. It might not be something you'd want to take on anyway.

Great scratch build, looks like a fun project. Something I might have to try

 

[Interceptor6]

Definately have to give that a try! Great looking gun!!

 

[chinbeard]

Awesome! I'll totally do a run of these!

 

[epilepticsquirl]

Looking forward to it! :thumbsup

FYI, That pic you based it on was Matsuo's Fan made gun and not a screen used one like that site mentioned. It's not screen accurate.

Nice work though!! :thumbsup
