any info would be appreciated.

Ive yet to see anyone make a near accurate replica. Once work dies down, if there is interest, I could see about calling in a favor.

I've been waiting on one and all my attempts at a semi accurate version have failed

 

[Bad Wolf]

does anyone have some good pics of it??

I put some up in the reference gallery under Serentiy!

I haven't seen a decent recreation of this one yet either. Seems like one of those pieces that looks easy until you get in to recreating it.

 

[Bad Wolf]

thanks guys!!!

hey noeland, is that your work or screen-used??

 

[Sundowner]

Now thats a sexy 1911. Pew pew pew

Those are photos of the screen used gun taken at ISS where it was made, and I believe they were shared by Jason Eaton here, a few years back. Could be mistaken, it's been a while.

thanks for the info

Howdy, just throwing my two cents in here but it looks like a modified Kimar 911. Would be a solid base for anyone looking to make one of their own me thinks.

A few details I see right off the bat...

Colt Combat Commander pattern hammer
Smith and Alexander Magwell
The checkering on the frontstrap (front of the grip) is actually a drop-in metal strip that you secure under the grip panels.

thanks for the tips, sween1911

I did this one a few years ago. As far as I know it's the only one that's been done using a metal base gun. unfortunately at the time there was no 100% accurate metal replica of the colt- the one I have has a thicker grip to accommodate a Co2 cartridge. I never was happy with the shroud and some other details either due to the limitations of styrene. (I even had it up for possible sale a couple times, but interest in BDM props isn't very high, lol.)

I've been toying with the idea of getting a new metal airsoft and having a conversion kit 3d printed (and perhaps offering them)... just haven't gotten around to doing the modeling. But if Rob could mold the original as separate parts in his masterful meta-resin method (like with the Eastwood revolver)... oh... wow!

The current state of things:

Far, far from perfect, but as I said... the only metal replica I know of...

 

[Bad Wolf]

WHOA! that's a beauty!!

 

[Sundowner]

wow! Heck if anyone could do a BDM prop, its joatrash!

 

[Noeland]

Nicely done Joe! You captured the gun from the film.

 

[Gman666]

Interested!

Thanks!

That would be cool!

And BTW, whatever happened to your idea of casting the sonic weapon?

Ive yet to see anyone make a near accurate replica. Once work dies down, if there is interest, I could see about calling in a favor.

The Sonic would have been a massive undertaking to do proper. That vs the intereest, it just wasnt there.
