Blade Runner - Sidkit's Worldcon blaster

[MML]

This beauty arrived a couple of months ago. Very solid and HEAVY. All metal.
I blued the upper parts with Permablue and the black parts were primed and painted with Halford's car paints and several coats of Humbrol satin varnish.

It's pretty much done at this point, just have to replace the brass trigger pins with steel ones and add the two small screws on the left of the Steyr ammo box.
The grips look a bit red in the photos but they don't in reality - it's just how the daylight caught it. They came out nice and dark.

VERY happy with this kit. Definitely worth picking one of these up!

Beautiful! Wish I could afford one. Some day.

Go for it, man! It's well worth the $$$!

I know I will be blasted (pun intended)for saying this so please forgive my outrage...:unsure

But for those new to this site and to this model: :confused

Please note it is still mainly a recasting of one of my earlier models, that is many parts are molded right off one of my models that had many changes made by me that were never part of the real gun parts and thus special only on my models, and yes I have received a few part from Sid that even had the same tooling marks IE My tooling marks..:angry

So if you buy one of these you are supporting a person who is not a American and who has ripped me off for years.:angry

By rip me off I mean sold a model he did not make only bought and copied, by throwing rubber over it.

OK I will say no more, feel free to fuss over it and by the way nice paint work.

Hi Richard, yep I've read some of the posts over at Propsummit about the points you brought up. I didn't want to stir up tensions or anything, I just thought I'd post a few pics to show off the finish. Granted, it's not up to the standard of some of the incredibly skilled pros on here but some folks might find it worth a look.

P.s. I'm not actually American either, I'm Irish, so that point you made doesn't really apply.

But thanks for the compliments!

Sorry.

And if you in the UK then I can not get my models into that country so I have (to my great regreat) suggested to someone there they buy his model kit.

IF only he would use his power for goodness...

Can you ship it unassembled? That should get through I would think.
Then again the laws might be tighter in the UK than here in Ireland.
