Gorgeous! Do you have any more photos, or info on the build-up (base model for the pistol, etching process, etc)?

 

[Kevin Gossett]

Very well done!

 

[BulletToothTony]

Thank you both of you.
Sorry, but I don't have any more pics of the construction. You can ask me if you still have any question.

 

[Kevin Gossett]

What make/model is the gun? Has a great finish! Are those decals on the slide or were they etched?

Very nice! I have been waitng to find a good 1911 to finish mine. More details!

Its' an UMAREX alarm pistol with nickel finish.

I have polished it to high gloss.
Yes, its a decal.

Most impressive! I saw that third picture a couple of days ago and dismissed it as a cgi image. I'm shocked to have been proven wrong!

Nice decals btw

 

[BulletToothTony]

thanks guys.

...cgi image...that's great hihihi :lol.

The former decals from ebay or from anywhere else are very bad...hence I've made ​​it myself.

I just had to register solely for this thread. I can take care of the gun part of the setup. I'm more interested in the box. I've been looking for a good picture to build off of and thanks to you, I've finally found it! Unless you found it somewhere and bought it; in which case I would do the same, rather than build one. Any information on the box would be greatly appreciated.

looks beautiful, job well done, pics of the build or list of places where you got the pieces would be awesome!

Wow! Makes me wanna give the movie a second chance. Great Work

 

[88reaper88]

That is beautiful!

I think some-kind of fabric plaque on the lid would look good myself, explaining what it is with the movie logo or something similar.

Work and presentation is absolutely stunning! Good job.

Not a fan of the film, but a BIG fan of the gun. Gorgeous presentation, the best I've seen in ages. :thumbsup

Out of curiosity what didn't you like about the decals? I'm always looking to improve.

Absolutely fantastic job on the polish, it looks insanely good. I want one and I didn't even saw the film.

Nice. The magazines with the (assuming) dummy rounds are a very nice addition to the display. (Though I know they don't fit an Umarex blank firer.

How long did you have to polish on that thing? It looks KILLER. I'd never though about polishing one of these.
