Cyberpunk 2077: Militech M-10AF Lexington Prop Replica

[Gold]

Where to start with this awesome prop replica?

As we all know there are very little to no official prop replicas of Cyberpunk 2077 items.

I am one of those collectors who prefers to have 1:1 scale props of a franchise. This item, the Militech M-10AF Lexington is special for a number of reasons. It is the default gun packaged with the officially licenced McFarlane Cyberpunk 2077 V figure, and it's seen as the "default" Night City pistol. More so than items worn specially by specific characters.

I felt that as a 1:1 prop it would best represent Cyberpunk 2077. In addition to this, the Arasaka Relic Chip, but we'll get to that later.

There are no officially licenced prop replicas of the Militech M-10AF Lexington (or any other Cyberpunk 2077 weapon) but as always Etsy is here to help. On Etsy there are numerous M-10AF's for sale, from simple 3D files to fully printed and painted props. Although almost all upon close inspection look way too rough. Printing lines, bad paint, no functionality, etc.

That is, until I came across Phoenix3DCraft, an artist who specializes in all kinds of props from various franchises. He is on IG here:

The M-10AF I received looks amazing, it looks like a real, mass produced item. The price on the item was also very reasonable.

In addition to the awesome paintwork (I am told by the artist that it is car paints) the device also has functionality. We can cock the slide back and release it with the tigger. It is powered by a rubber band.

The magazine also has space for bullets (it's a display piece so does not feature a spring loaded magazine, it only has space for a single display bullet). I received 2 bullets with my M10-AF.

I am amazed at the level of detail on this model. From the paint, to the smooth finish, to the choice of colors, functionality, etc. It is really the definitive Cyberpunk prop for a display cabinet. Phoenix3DCraft send it out with the compulsory orange barrel tip. But if you ask him nicely he can send it out with it not glued in so it's easy to correct afterwards. Because I did not have the automotive paint used on the body of the gun I used a mix of Revell SM 302 and Revell 99 to match the barrel color to the body/magazine. It looks very accurate.

The Arasaka Relic featured in the images is also awesome. There are a number of these on Etsy, from simple 3D files, to USB drives to expensive ones in a case. I prefer this version by StrangeMindWorks. It is a see through plastic (which most of the others aren't) and is painted very well. It is also very minimalistic meaning that one could add their own paint details if desired.

It is finished off perfectly, and can balance on both sides.


Positives about the M10-AF:

Almost everything.

Negatives:

-Uses a rubber band as a slide release, with no obvious method of replacement. I would have preferred a light metal spring. But I do not know how that would hold up with the plastic.

-Magazine is not magnetically attached to the gun body


Positives about the Relic:

Almost everything

Negatives:
Could maybe use a bit more paintwork but for this price it's perfect.

As with any Etsy 3D products, half the fun is modifying them yourselves. From the obvious orange barrel in this example to getting a scalpel and tracing over moulding lines, etc. That's the fun part, making it uniquely your own.

I attached a whole bunch of images to this post and a video of the M-10AF functionality. If these images fail there is also a link here:

PS: A quick word on the McFarlane Cyberpunk 2077 V and Johnny Silverhand figures:

I think these figures are the best that McFarlane has done for a while. CDPR had basically a carte blanche (literal billions of dollars) for merchandise when CP2077 was released. It was money no object global merchandising release. A billion dollars? No problem (The McFarlane contracts were signed before the problems CDPR faced at launch.)

These figures (as standard normal looking human articulated figures) in my opinion are the best (most realistic and coolest looking) that McFarlane has done.

In my opinion CP2077 is the Assassins Creed: Unity situation dialled up to 11. A game with a catastrophic launch which became patched to an absolutely awesome game and a paradigm shift in game mechanics design (let alone the incredible art direction and city planning) and a cult classic. And having Keanu Reeves in a pivotal role that is completely outside of what you expect from Keanu Reeves is a cherry on the cake.

Very cool! I'm surprised we don't see replicas from this game often. Lots of neat things in that world just waiting to be replicated.

Here is another one, you can get for $50 - $60. It's the Lizzie from Cyberpunk 2077, They are called the Lizzie Gecko, it actually shoots foam darts 100 FPS, they have power mods & metal upgrades you can get for them. They look so cool I just had to order one, I got the 2.0 version with the rubber grip,

That looks awesome! Does anyone know of any other CP2077 props?

I've see a helmet from the military style medical team in CP2077 here on the RPF forums. Will see if i can find a link.

Very nice!! I have the files to print that version of the gun, but I haven't yet. I am going to try and figure out a solution for the mechanism that does not involve a rubber band. We'll see how that goes.

I'm a massive CP2077 fan. It's gotten me back into gaming after a long time away from it. I picked up a few of the Militech Lexington replicas after the 40 minute gameplay footage was released though, way before ever playing it. It was featured so prominently in that footage, I had to have one.

The first one I got was a solid cast and fully painted replica off of ebay. I think it was $20.

This is OK for what it is. Undersized a bit, and needs a repaint. But for $20, it ain't terrible.

Then I decided to see what I could get for 3D printing. Much better options. Ended up getting a 3D printed kit from Traywick Designs. Moving trigger, and a magazine. It feels 1:1 in terms of size. It is a fair bit bigger than the other I have.

It was a really fun build. Finished with Krlyon Ultra Flat black, and Rubnbuff silver, copper, and brass.

My next Lexington is more game accurate (with the correct rear cap) and that will be 3D printed.

I have one of those lizzie gecko foam dart guns. They're over sized compared to the game guns. By a lot. The magazine release is that large lever above the grip, and it is incredibly easy to catch on everything (including your thumb) so it drops the mag easily. I have been considering ways to deal with that.



The same company makes a Silverhand blaster too, with a solid (instead of transparent) grip. I have not ordered one, but intend to.

I have also done a fair bit of 3D printing Cyberpunk replicas on my own, and here are a couple pics of what I've built.

Still need to weather that one, and print a transparent magazine on the resin printer.

Got a Militech Crusher done (haven't taken pics of it yet), an Overture done (no pics yet), and 2 DR-12's in pieces. I'm happy to share. Just realized I may be hijacking here. So I'll end it with that. I just dig this game and the weapons a whole lot. I can go on and on.

I love these. Thanks so much for posting. I love the whole CP2077 universe. The main reason being what us old folks have waited for since the 1980's. Remember when the future was hopeful, bright neon? Back to the Future 2? The only things that remind me of what the future was "supposed to be" is stuff like Cyberpunk2077, the neon used in IOS devices, etc. This comment probably doesn't make sense for most people.

I just love the 80's and their interpretation of the future. I hope we get more CP stuff (merchandise, etc.)
Especially with the announcement of CP2077 2 coming out recently.

PS: Just heard from Phoenix3DCraft that their new store name on Etsy is SilhouetteCraftStore.

It doesn't fit the hand very well as modeled, but Here is the M76 Omaha. I had to resize the original, split it in two, then glue the piece back together after printing. I added a site that was made for an IRL firearm, and some grip tape to the sock, as I know I would fail if I tried to paint a textured grip.

Are we allowed to post .stl files? I should post my alterations as a remix on ThingVerse - I will update this post with a like if I do.
