Hello All!
So, I have always been a fan of Star Wars: Dark Forces and the subsequent sequels. When Star Wars: Battlefront released the Bryar pistol, I was thoroughly impressed and just recently I have decided to build one.
If you aren't familiar, here is an image of it:
Anyways, given most Star Wars guns are made from real weapons, I figured I would try and work this one from an M1911. My initial thought was that this was closer to a 1911 than it really is, but it still makes for a great base weapon. For my purposes, I bought a simple Crossman M1911 Spring airsoft pistol for about $15.
From there, I found this awesome blueprint over on DeviantArt:
Also, I was able to find this excellent 3D model of the M1911 on GrabCAD

From here, I have begun my 3D model. Unlike most 3D prints of the K-16 Bryar that has been done lately, I still want to keep the 3D printed parts to a minimum. As such, I am leaving screw holes for all hardware and using what I can from the base gun as much as possible.
This is a little bit of an older WIP shot, but I wanted to share what I have done thus far. Tonight when I get back to my main PC I'll have a better update.
Let me know what you guys think!
