Saw this on eBay tonight. A nicely made replica but isn’t it a bit too small (16cm x 10.5cm) compared to the original seen in the movie?

You are on fire Replicant2, great work. Didnt the movie holster have a soft plastic tube around the spring though?
Nice job with the holster.It was part of the original Safariland holster, yes, but as I scratch built this from what I already had I'll wait until I spot something suitable for the spring. For now I'm happy with the overall 'look'. I want to play a bit more with the straps though. Watching it again this evening there's definitely more I can do
Nice job with the holster.
It has a clear PVC tube around the spring to stop it damaging the gun frame. If you know anyone who has an oxygen mask or nebulizer the tubing used for those is about the right size.
Regarding the straps, the short strap that attaches to the bottom of the holster should be attached on the inside of the holster (the side against your body). The 1090 is made to be ambidextrous, so the holster frame has slots on both sides to allow the strap to be mounted on either.
Can I ask where you got the spring from? Reusing the one off my 1090 would mean drilling the rivets out, which I don't really want to do,
One of the things I find most enjoyable about cosplay and now building some props is finding things I can repurpose. I look at things in a completely different way.
They are regular 3mm domed LEDs. On the example shown at SDCC (which seems to be one of the 'hero' versions) the domes had been sanded flat to the LED mounting clip and polished, but on the ones in the case in the Tested video the domes were still there. This would probably fit with the rumoured reliability problems and Propshop having to rush manufacture replacements during the shoot (which may also be why most of the engraved text isn't present on the ones in the Tested video).Does anyone know or have an approx measurement for the LED size of K's blaster? I'm going to use craft gems, I just need the correct size.
Thanks in advance!
