So did Rick do a resin cast or did some jerk recast of the PKD II for this?
Next Question, should I refinish it?
I just got a Pink all plastic Sidkit, which I have almost for sure decided to leave as is, It's surprisingly cool Pink. Also I'm getting a Tomenosuke shortly, like, as soon as UPS comes today. So I will have a very well finished gun... Do I finish this or leave it as is with the Time my friend put into it giving it a nice story?
What do you think?
if you are going to leave the tomenosuke with an "as issued" look.
btw, if it's real that's a nice find as it still has Shimago Dominguez on it, which came before Rick created the Pflager Katsumata (PKD) brand.
Wrong. Pflager-Katsumata came first - that's what established the "PKD" When Rick did the PK-D II (and later the PK-D Snub) he used the Shimago-Dominguez markings.
The Tomen' I'm getting in has been through a lot, so it has quite a story as well... Went to Brazil, got roughed up by Customs, came back to US, repaired by HCG, Shipped just before Hurricane Irma hit, Rode out the Hurricane in Jacksonville, and is on a vehicle for delivery as we speak. I feel like it would be a disservice to do anything but display it proudly... it's like the R2D2 of Replica Blade Runner Blasters.
