Single point
25mm conduit approx £2 for 3 metres
32mm solvent weld waste pipe about £3 for two metres (36mm outside diameter)
Plastic lotion bottle from ebay £2 for 10
Screw cap covers for the sighting dials
I 3d printed the conical bits
Glued together with two part epoxy and spray painted
ASR Sight
eBay £20.. the most expensive part of the build (except for the 3D printer)
Main Rexim body and grips.
Modified and combined parts from two different SE14R models on Thingiverse
3D printed. About £5 of filament
Stopped for two weeks while deciding whether to redesign the whole thing from scratch to make more accurate, before deciding its cosplay, not display
Assembled and painted.
"Fun" fact the child sized sidearm props for the derelict ship scenes were probably made before the full sized ones were completed. One of the props has different text on the barrel, and the sights are reverse mounted a la the Star Wars SE14R. Further evidence that these were the donor items for the full size Nostromo sidearms.
Having decided that this was going to be a "good enough" project, I decided to reference one of the mini size props where the usual "LIGHT SYNC. DIAL" is replaced with "laser sight dial".
I know all the faults with the item, both in accuracy and finish, but I am happy enough with it to share here.
