Does'nt look like one of Steves
I don't think to many people did these
Anybody know how many versions of these were made
Let me give you the info, to the best of my knowledge, and my opinion on this particular replica.
Steve (SD Studios) originally made a replica of this ‘gun’ based on screenshots etc etc.
Subsequently, through eltee (a member of this board), Frank Rousseau (the original maker of the screen-used prop) sent Steve an original screen-used prop.
With Frank’s blessing, Steve made a mould of that prop and made a limited run of 20 copies, after which the mould would be destroyed.
This would be the most screen-accurate replica around, since all the greeblies etc of the original would deliberately be left on the mould.
I own one of those replicas, and this letter from Steve which accompanied it is self-explanatory.
Now here is a side by side comparison of the OP’s replica, next to mine, one of Steve’s.
And here is another one of Steve’s, owned by Randy (rkpeterson here).
I am very curious to know how some of the deliberately left imperfections appear, exactly, on the OP’s replica.
And I ask again, what work did the OP do on this replica that makes him so thrilled with the outcome ?
