awesome, looking better already!
still need small bevels on all the angles of the grips:

And I think you still not quite there yet with the emiter holes, I think the diameter should still be better and played with the position a bit.
Are you able to take your model and match it inside your software with your 3D camera? this is how I work on my 3D model. As many references matched as possible, when the details are correct on all cameras, then I know my model is very accurate. This is the best way to see if those hole are matching and sizes are correct everywhere

for the story, those bevels on the handle were not correct at the time on the dark energy creation kit, this is the first thing I corrected when I got my kit, it was a bit crazy, I took a wood router to it and made them larger, then sanded a bit everything to get the organic feel they have:

to be honest, you can probably still make yours larger, they basically go all the way until they reach the inside cuttouts of the handle.

Alrighty, so this is probably as close as I am gonna get without having more images of the master prop.
I found some of a stunt cast but those are probably quite inaccurate.

And here's the new updated grip with more rounded edges

I've also been talking to some shops about quotes and it looks pretty good I'd say. Just have to get to 50 posts now so I can post in the Project Run Forum

Around how much are you being quoted?

Around how much are you being quoted?

Depends quite a lot on the shop and the amount of props, the level of finish etc. I think the very lowest quote I've gotten was 106 dollars but that's without the grip and from china so there will be import taxes and a fair bit of shipping added, plus import taxes plus offsetting the price of a prototype .Right now I would expect the final amount to be around 250-450$ depending on its a kit, a finished prop (which would mean a lot more work for me) and if the quality of the lower priced shops is sufficient. But we'll see.
