Any chance of being able to buy specific parts without buying the whole kit?

Hey all sorry for the radio silence, its been a busy few months and I haven't had the time to work on the kit until last week. So finally here is a progress update!
I needed to experiment with some mould making as I was struggling with getting good casts of the bulldog frame but I think I have finally nailed it!
So the biggest problem with this part was the inside, and getting a clean pull without too many lines. Well it turns out that this part will just about fit in the spin caster so I got to work casting the middle with regular heat resistant silicone.
I used Smooth On Mold Star 30. Its fairly soft so I needed to add in the rods to hold its shape for when its in the caster.
I also did the Outer Grip frame and Rear Bolt again as the last ones although ok were not quite right. plus a couple of Witcher pendants to fill the space
First cast was a sucess!
Now for clean up, look how crisp the numbers are now! compare that to the last attempt earlier in this thread
I will need to drill out all the screw holes and barrel hole later.
I didn't sand them just a quick polish on the wheel. there is some surface pitting but its not much at all, a good sand a clean up and I think they will be smooth as butter.
Here it all is, only the bolt and Styer to go!
Oh and if you're interested this is what the Witcher Medallion turned out like.

So glad you combined the two parts into a singular piece for this. And I noticed the addition of the cylinder stud hole on the Bulldog main frame. Nice one!
Waiting to see if you modified the inner Bulldog grip frame to accommodate the mainspring + rod.
Yeah seen quite a few people mention this so I figured now is the time to remove that problem
Also here is the solution to the inner grip, not quite the same as what you pictured but there is a hole for a rod
