Looking for a 3D scan/model of Mauser C96

I have a project in mind involving a customized DL-44 (Han solo gun) but I want to mock everything up virtually before I invest the time into making the thing. Anybody got a model I could use and modify? Anybody know if one exists? I would make it myself, but I don't have a laser scanner and I'm not too keen on getting out my calipers and making eighty thousand measurements. Any help at all would be appreciated!

As I understand it, the DL-44 is a modified C-96 "Broom Handle" Mauser. There are a few good 3d models over on the 3D warehouse for Sketchup. They may work out for you.

Thank you! That's a great place to start- I haven't used sketchup in such a long time I forgot about the warehouse. Thanks!

Could you get a denix Mauser and modify it for your needs?

I'm sure I could- and probably will a bit further down the road. I'm still in the concept phase of the project. I like to design things in CAD before I start spending money and cutting stuff up. A lot easier to, for example, say "that needs to be 3/4 in shorter" or "that part needs to be 10% smaller" when it is a virtual model rather than after I have the whole thing put together.
