Well, I for one feel the wait was worth it. SERIOUSLY well done mate. A great interpretation of an iconic piece of movie history!
Looking forward to seeing your next piece of art.
Kind regards

Cheers Guys - your comments are all very welcome and appreciated I think I'm getter better, the more I build - funny that eh ?? now soon to start on my sixth! personally I can't wait to see Rick's Gaff & Bryant versions for inspiration - casting for the custom grips and plating begins soon for the Policeman's Special. At some point I may even get round to finishing off my ILM studio scale X-wing restoration project - oh and the Tie Fighter just to prove I have a wider Sci -Fi interest that just Blade Runner , then there's the Batwing, Klingon Bird of Prey, Pal Time Machine , M41a Pulse Rifle project too and the list grows longer the older I get !! I think I need an apprentise ?? |

I am hoping on 10 to 20 more years...
That will make me a 72 or 82 year old propmaker....
Been a fun ride.

Just waiting for some of Rich's excellent parts to arrive and it's on to building the next, - most UK forum members should realise by now that currently I'm the sole source of Rich latest M2019V all metal blaster , built here to meet the current legislation to a museum quality non- firing display model . Yes I know it's an expensive investment , but there is a easier way to get one - start with the low cost Resin kit and then swap out the resin for all metal parts over however long you wish . At the end of the day, you'll end up with two !! an all metal and an all resin blaster. |

Hey guys, I have been away from the thread but always in contact with Propjohnny, as he has done a fantastic job with the grips!!
I would love to see the Police special black grips have the badge, you thinking of putting them in??
Are you posting prices yet on the blasters?
Have a great trip mate!

Thanks for the comments , I was intending to add the badges to the grips as an optional extra , as I'm currently making a custom outer PKD Magnum handle for a client, I decided to go the whole hog and have custom made a PKD Magnum butt plate and trigger guard, the masters of which you can see in the shots above, I haven't cast the outer yet , just putting the final touches to the master, so it's down for casting when I get back , I was also going to add prices for the three different custom handles with Photos when I get back , typically a custom handle completely assembled, painted and polished will cost around £75 UKP, about a $100UKD, to give you some idea the larger handle (bigger than the Coyle standard) , will be slightly more and the smaller one slightly less . Solid colours will be available at no extra cost as will a range of transparent ones , a two colour marble effect ( your colour choice ) will be available to order for a small extra charge £10UKP/ $15 USD.
I have one more LE Coyle to finish for a client, as I just finished a custom special Worldcon last night, photos to follow here shortly, then when I get back , I'll finish the police special and then I'll have some free time available for the VK machine !! |

Here are a few final shots of the finished Blaster from the previous posting . It was a custom special so all the features and finish were requested by the client , so I am aware of all the changes made , it is Coyle cast , hand made , electroplated , parkerized, hand finished , polished and with real copperplated lead inert .44 bullets.
These were taken with an Iphone as my camera was unavailable at the time |
