This is awesome!
I will of course consider everyone that wrote here in the thread to have one! 
Before my holiday I started making the first molds for the grips, and 2 days ago I poured the first resin batch.
However, the color is still too light for the amber grips :/
Today I have mixed the next batch, and will see how it turned out tomorrow.
And after some polishing it looked like this:
I've already started the mold for the front grip, however I ran out of silicone for now.
But I've already ordered enough to make molds for ALL parts, and should get the delivery during the next week.
For making a run, I'll first try to have all the molds finished, and reproduce the blaster once or twice.
As soon as I've done this, I can have a better estimate for the costs.
In general, when making a run, I would offer it made with resin and aluminum parts.
I could offer it with all parts made of resin, however I think the folding mechanism would get worn out quite fast.
The gun as it is now consists of 42 pieces (excluding screws and springs), though I might still change one or two things for creating the molds.
Another thing that I considered (though I'd still have to see, how much effort it would be) is, that I could offer you custom engraving of the top barell.
Tomorrow you will get an update on how the next try for the grips turned out

Looking great! I can’t wait to see more and see the costs. This will be a great addition to any collection.

Great prop and the grips are fantastic; love the light color; it's a possibility to have other grips affixed on that weapon. Others have, in the past, made translucent grips or ivory ones also
Yeah, I've already seen the translucent and ivory grips, and I will probably make those as well, but I also wanted to get the color right for the amber.
Here's the new test by the way
Thanks! I'm also quite happy. Next one should be good as well
Also, I now prepared almost all parts for casting.
And some molds are already finished.
The one for the foregrip I might have to do again. I tried casting two times, but the results are not yet as I want.

ok so this is officially awesome. mad max crossover with bladerunner? definitely interested, your work is superb
well,.. hi everyone still following this thread, and sorry for the bit of abscence recently.
my work kind of took over my life during the past weeks, so I didn't get to continue with the shotgun blaster as much as I actually wanted.
however, I have been able to make all the molds for casting, and I've already made some tests.
Also a friend of mine will help with casting and cleaning up the parts
And while most molds are working really good, I might have to redo two or three.
Once I am happy with the quality of all molds, I will finally announce a limited run
