The final step was the assembly and the scope which came today. Now I just need a few more greeblies for the part of above the top barrel and the piece coming out of the flashlight.
Now onto Rocket's other gun made from a Nerf Retaliator (which I also had a spare one of)
This is awesome seeing it come together. As Anubis said, you're the first one to do it properly.
In terms of complete accuracy though, I came to the conclusion earlier in the thread that the upper Maverick plunger is just the inner tube. As you can see in the screengrabs, it has a channel that goes the complete length of the tube, rather than a kind of fin? I did some measurements in PS and I'm almost certain that the upper tube is narrower which would account for this. This is not reflected in the Hot Toys version however. The upper Maverick plunger also has some kind of fin on the top which I haven't identified but wonder if something similar could be cut out of the Maverick tigger (that was my plan anyway).

Congrats! I think you're the first to do this "correctly."
Which $20 airsoft did you buy for the flashlight? I'm still waiting for the much more expensive order I placed for just the flashlight alone to ship.
Someone already bought a set of my Shapeways parts for the Retaliator. Was that you?
Has yours arrived from the UK yet? On the bright side, I think the one you ordered has the correct mount so the extra cost is going towards screen accuracy.
I can't thank you enough for your 3D models, I had been putting the Retaliator build on the backburner until we had better screenshots and could correctly ID the greeblies. Awesome work!
