Any chance of my purchasing a 3D print of that long top piece (barrel)? Thanks

If you have any sets of parts for the star helix pistol I would be interested in at least one set, pending cost ,if you have any left, and possibly the martian pistol too?

From the Art book:
The G26 airsoft comes in two variants. One has a selector switch on the rear left of the slide, which was used on the UN Military pistol. The Star Helix/Belter version doesn't have the selector.
In Season 1, the unit on top of Miller's gun is used as a flashlight. In S3 the G26 is seen with an under-barrel flashlight, so I'm guessing that the Miller prop was the only one with that functionality.

^^ That's good to know about the different versions, thanks for that detail. The airsoft pistol I ordered definitely has the selector switch. I didn't get it with a specific character's gun in mind, I got it because it wasn't prohibitively expensive and I have a long-standing problem with impulse buying replica guns and/or parts thereof LOL

Props from Season 4!
Bobby's terminal:
As mentioned above, Murtry's rifle is an airsoft XR-5 airsoft with a standard stock fitted.
The military version (different stock) comes in sand colour, so they may have just switched stocks, the only other mods seem to be the decals.
All the other RCE security carry UN Long Rifles that have been painted in the same sand/tan colour and with different decals. These were previously seen in S2, carried by the UN Earth security when Bobby Defects.
Esai Martin's pistol, used by Bobby during the dockyard attck is a Beretta PX4 Storm with a silver slide, probably this one: WE 3Px4 HK PX4
The most interesting weapons (imho) are seen right at the end of the final episode, when Ashford mounts his aassault on Marco's ship. This rather awesome drum shotgun is based on the APS UAR 501 airsoft, same as the Martian Long Gun.
Ashford carries a pair of rather Dredd-like Glock based pistols with underslung explosive shell mags
I had to have a shot at these babies, my build:
I've added these to my Expanse build thread with some more pics an build info here: The Expanse Big Build - MCRN & Miller Belter Helmets 19/08
Edit: Thanks to RPF member the base guns have been identified as modified Tippmann TPF paintball guns
Out of my price range, but I now have the reference to make a few mods, and solved the mystery of the missing Glock.

"Shivers", SOOOOOooooooo good.
Need to watch s4 again....quickly.
Hi,
I'm new here at the RPF, but I'm building replicas for really a while. Actually I'm building the MMC rifle, MMC pistol and the Star Helix gun. The biggest problem for me are the labels on the guns, there are no really usable pics on the net I found.
I saw your builds here, which are quite wonderful. Has anyone a hint where to find these labels or is there a chance to het hands on the labels from someone here?
Thanks in advance.
Here are some pics of the two guns I've almost done. There are some details to rework.

Some further progress on the Helix gun parts.
And I've nearly finished the MMC pistol and rifle. Just have to do a little weathering and blending in the labels. Thank you very much for a little help and inspiration doing these.

The extended barrels are done and a little modification to the underbarrel section.

I‘ve done the labels. Testprint to see if it fits, they need a little rework.
Does anyone have an information if there‘s a hole in the smaller extended barrel? I don‘t know if that is a massive part or a drilled one. Thanks in advance.
