Forbidden Planet Colt/Vickers Atomic-Fusion Rifle

[modeleers]

(I lost my fav dog yesterday & had to make something to keep sane -
I dedicate this build in memory of Kadenz)

From Forbidden Planet:
Colt/Vickers Atomic-Fusion Rifle

I built this from the kit by nick'sdad, I disliked the cast from original mold 'hand-grip assembly',
it was too small for an adult hand, - so I added my own scratch-built version.

Very cool! And I'm sorry about Kadenz

thanx - I've been asked, so I'm thinking about offering a kit of the Grip-Stock Assembly.

Final test assembly for 2 clients,
before shipping-out / destined for their new home planets...

( slight warping of the upper FPR's 'grip assembly' -
was amended, prior to being boxed-up )

Did you make a new rifle tip? The one that came with the kit was clear frosted.

A friend turned these for me. When lit with an LED they look pretty good.
(these 2 FPR's are Not lighted)
The actual (screen-used) FPR 'tips' are a (golden-red) Amber color
(leaning more toward a red).

(close-up)

Any pics that feature a 'clear' tip are using a replacement part.
(as was the case in a few resent auctions that 'claimed' to be
"completely original" &/or "screen-used" props.

I am sorry for you loss, losing a pet is really tough.

Love this rifle. Will you offer copies for sale?

 

[modeleers]

...thanx for your comment.

Re: FPR - All I make is the improved 'grip assembly'.
If nick'sdad offers the barrel-tubes again,
I wanna get another half dozen of em.

KARL!!! - I was hoping you'd see these!!

The FP/CVBR Tip - color-match Test (based on the original film used prop).
I might add an other dusting of red.
