Ok, as much as this might resemble Tim's Snub, I swear I had this idea years ago!! The idea was born out of a discussion I had with Jordan (RIP) at a Kropserkel Prop party years ago. We had discussed painting variations and I said that I thought a chromed PKD would be pretty cool. Mind you, at that moment, I didn't have any Blade Runner gun of any sort. Then, when I finally did, my first desire was to build it up as seen in the movie. But as time went by, the kit sat on the shelf as I slowly learned various painting techniques, and when I was finally ready to start I got the SidKit metal gun and the Worldcon BR prop was discovered, shaking the prop world. Thus I carried on with the SidKit making it movie accurate, leaving my Doppleganger kit open. So now, I have my first, non movie accurate prop!
I used alclad chrome for the main body, steel on the Grip frame, ejector port and triggers, gloss black on the trigger guard and butt plate. All screws were replaced and I also chose Blue LEDs (thanks again Exoray for the wiring advice) for the ammo and reds for the pointer. The Grips are Tortoise shell style. One thing I did add was a bit of detail to the inside of the grips, styled like the hammer kickback stuff (spring around a rod)
Well, enough talk...
