Thank you, Mark. Rick's chess set is the golden standard. I've been wanting one for years, but these three will have to do for now :cool

Just a quick close up photo of the chess pieces that arrived today.... they're amazing!

Re: My Blade Runner collection (NEW Chess pieces!)

As I was going through the different parts of the new Tomen kit, I couldn't help comparing some of the parts with real, vintage parts... I think they did a very good job on replicating the binding post, but I can't help feeling that the Weaver knob replica lacks quite a bit of detail/definition... especially the front stampings are... well, a bit lazy :unsure

You have an amazing collection. Congratulations !!.

This kit is a Rick Coyle?, is it more difficult to assemble than the others?. The other ones look fantastic and it seems you have enough skill to build it. What makes you doubt?.

(Don´t scare me, i´ve just got a Coyle kit). I´m afraid it´s going to be in its box for ... years ...
 
Re: My Blade Runner collection (NEW Tomen parts accuracy?)

Well thank you... which other kits are you referring to?

Generally the kit by Richard Coyle is regarded as more difficult than for instance the kit by Tomenosuke. On the Coyle kit you have to do everything from scratch... drilling, tapping, fitting, grinding, sanding, trigger mechanism, putting together ammo clip and housing, cylinder rod, electrical work etc etc... where as the Tomen kit is more plug-and-play...

I've gotten a fair bit of work done on this - I'm sure it'll be done before the end of this decade :lol:facepalm

I meant the two blasters you have in your display. One is a Sidkit and i thought the other one was a Coyle.

I have realized that Coyle´s kit is quite difficult to assemble. I will read, learn, ask and wait to do it someday but the important thing is that i´ve already have it.

At the moment I'm happy looking at the box from time to time. As Monty Python said: Always look on the bright side of life ...

Hmm. Looks like you could drill the stamping out a bit if you wanted to be super-accurate. Or just do what you did and buy a real one. Is your derringer real ? That 's the one thing I'm afraid I'll never be able to acquire, even with a handgun license they are illegal up here, barrel is too short. Unless someone makes an airsoft. . .

Marushin make a COP357 four-barrel derringer copy but not sure if it's airsoft or plugfire-caps.

EDIT; A quick google search confirms they do heavyweight ABS airsoft in silver or black.

I'm going with a vintage Weaver knob instead!

The Derringer is from Marushin. I would never get a permit for something like that in Denmark. Barrel is too short according to our laws as well.

In order to acquire a gun here you must: 1) Be 21 years of age, 2) Be an active member of a shooting association for 2 years, 3) Be approved by the chairman of the association AND the police, 4) Have an authorized gun cabinet installed at home, which literally has to be bolted to the floor...
