Who to talk to about a custom weapon?

[Dropshipbob]

I'm needing a pistol that doesn't exist in 1:18th. I don't need a ton of them, maybe three or four so I don't know that they need to be molded and cast.
But reguardless, who can I talk to about having a pistol made?

Umm, I'd hit up Slayer Dave and see if he can drop you a few names of his afiliated sculptors.

Or DIY. What gun is it?

 

[Dropshipbob]

A H&K VP70.

 

[K-Tiger]

Hmmm. Have to check the weapon bag.......

Somebody's making an Aliens custom.

 

[Dropshipbob]

Close, looking to arm a few Aliens customs. Actually not really customs but right-out-of-the-box figures.

Maybe you could mod a Marauders PPK

Exactly what I was thinking!

Here's your USCM H&K:

Here's Marauder's PPK:

And Hopefully you can get this:

Looks like all you'll really need to do is remove the hammer and re-seat the trigger all the way back and *bing* you'll have that "futuristic look" for your Marines!

You could always hire a 3D artist to make you a STL file for shapeways.com to print for you.

Looks like you can cut an angle into the barrel with an exacto knife?

Pretty much.

The PPK mods look like the way to go.

Yourself, or do you know someone else?

What do you mean, at the very front?

 

[K-Tiger]

Yup, Shave some of the front sight blade, too.

You can always find 3D artists on the Shapeways forum.

Best line in that movie " I keep this for close encounters" ( I guess that the third though)
They also said that in MW1 as a tribute.

That's a reference to the shotgun, right? When I got my Jungle Duke, I gave him a folded SPAS12, because he reminds me of Hicks/Reese. I even gave him a smaller backpack and cut a notch on the right side of it to hold the shotgun, same way Hicks keeps his holstered. I like the fact that Hicks and Reese both carry shotguns as their signature weapon. Additionally, Jungle Duke is inspired by Solid Snake, who is inspired by Reese, so it all fits.
