Re: Rian Johnson's "Looper"...I LOVE these props!
The RPF album's caption says the main body is a Yankee Hill Machine Co Rifle Length Smooth Forearm Part# YHM-5005. After scrutinizing the pics, I totally agree.
Okay, so we've got a starting point. At this point, I'm going with the rail, trigger-guard cannibalized off an old air-soft, trigger made of heat-formed round styrene, a hand-carved wood grip mounted to a lenght of aluminum pipe (which I'll mount the rail onto), carved-wood slide and perhaps some sort of modified PVC coupler for the muzzle. Gentlemen, start your engines!
