I’ve ordered an acrylic display case and made a stand for one of the guns. The “hand” was made from styrene sheet and car body filler. The disc was cut from acrylic sheet and painted red on the underside only. This disc doesn’t have to be fixed in any way, as it is held in place when the gun is mounted.
To mount the gun, the screw in the handle is removed and a threaded rod is put in its place.
The case I’ve ordered has a black base. I’m probably going to lay a thin sheet of aluminium on it and paint the hand silver. Basically the same style as the Master Replica cases.

The idea and basic shape of the hand came from the Rylo flame gun stands.

I’ve just got some mother of pearl paint. I’m going to test it on some spare grips first. If the results are better than I already have, I’ll re-do the grips on my metal gun.

Awesome gun, the black paint job looks perfect. Don't suppose you could give the process you did to paint the aluminum so well. Im trying to paint aluminum with no success, been using self etching primer and spray paint but it still comes right off!!
