Finished Supernatural Colt Replica

[DarthCalibar]

Just got done making this for my brother's Christmas present. For those of you who aren't familiar with the show "Supernatural" on the CW, this gun is from that show and is capable of killing anything. This took me 2 weeks to make and is made entirely out of wood and woodglue. The paint is Rustoleum Metallic charcoal and Testors gold enamel. I did the words "non timebo mola" and etching designs with a fine point sharpie. I haven't done all of the etching yet because I can't find good reference of the rest of the etching... If anyone has good reference pics let me know.

Anyways, here are the pictures...

Nice, it looks a lot like a Paterson revolver!

Best thread I could find! Nice work!

That's pretty cool, but it doesn't have a trigger? How do they shoot it on the show?

It has a trigger on the show.

On this particular model of Colt, the trigger folds out upon cocking the hammer. This is a static model, therefore the hammer does not pull back, thus in turn there is no trigger to fold out.

DarthCalibur, did you have any drawings or measurements to use? Or did you just "wing it"?

I have no supplies right now so I can't even begin a scratch build but I want to start something soon....

From the tip of the Barrel to the chamber is 7.5 inches. I used that measurement to scale up some side profile pictures. I measured those pictures for the size.

Dude, that is great! Gotta love the Colt!

Beautifully Done:thumbsup

 

[neojacksparrow]

How exactly did you do the chamber? Like did you just take a piece of wood and draw a pattern and go from there?

The colt in the show is a Texas Paterson which has a 9" barrel. I have a real functional c/b revolver. I'm working on a resin mold now.

Ah. I couldn't find much information in the form of blueprints/dimensions for the Paterson. i think I got the 7.5 inch measurement for the barrel from some dimensions i found for a similar colt. (perhaps the navy version, I don't recall.)

Your craftsmanship is to be applauded and admired. I shall have to try my hand at this as well sometime.

Wow. i know that this is an old thread, but this looks absolutely great for the materials you used. Could you share the steps you took in making it?

 

[Fuzzual]

That is very nice! I agree, do you have progress photos???

 

[CJ 617]

Yeah, it is an old thread but I gotta admit to coming back for a look occasionally It's still on my 'to do' list to have a go at trying to make one out of wood etc....

 

[Justine]

Looks amazing! Such a shame about the misquote, though (It's non timebo mala, not mola).

 

[SuperWholockfan]

I like this, could I do the shape of the barrel with a dremel/engraving tool?
