 Posted: Sat Sep 03, 2011 3:14 pm Post subject: Goldberg Arms Snub Nose Blaster Kits |
 |
|
FOR SALE! - Resin kits of the newest version of the Blade Runner Blaster, the QPW-SN2011 Snub Nose Blaster from Goldberg Arms.
These finely detailed kits have been designed and created from the pixel up. Designed with 3D modeling software in the computer, the patterns were then created via 3D printing, CNC milling and hand sculpting. Extreme care went into the molding and casting to produce virtually perfect castings that are nearly bubble free. The end result is a truly stunning work of Prop Art!
Here is a comparison photo of the Goldberg Arms' Snub Nose with the Tomenosuke Pro Blaster (not included!).
If by chance you've missed it, the complete build, from conceptual design through the final product has been chronicled in a build thread here:
http://www.propsummit.com/viewtopic.php?t=2914
The kit includes all of the castings and hardware necessary to finish the Snubby. You provide the paint and glue. Each kit comes with one set of grips in your choice of material; Clear Amber, Black Rubber or Faux Ivory. Electronics for lighting the LEDs are not included.
12 pages of highly detailed instructions are included. A free digital download of the instructions is available here:
https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=explorer&chrome=true&srcid=0B59bW--fHgl4ZDc1YzcwY2UtMzdmZC00MWY1LWE5MzctNzAyMThmMDUyMjQ4&hl=en_US
At this time the Snubby is only being offered as a kit. Finished built up blasters are not available.
There are 23 kits currently available. For grips, 12 sets of clear amber, 14 sets of faux ivory and 8 sets of black rubber are on hand. Additional sets of grips will be cast based on demand.
Price - $249 plus $18 Insured Priority Mail in the United States. Additional sets of grips may be purchased for $29 per set. The custom engraved grips shown in the build thread are not being offered at this time. Shipping is free with the purchase of two or more kits. International shipping will be quoted based on destination.
PayPal payments only please. If you would like to place an order, please PM me with your choice of grips and I will reply back with my PayPal information. Payments will only be accepted for kits that I have on hand. When this run of kits is gone, I will make more, but it could take awhile.
Shipments will be made once a week, on Saturday, for orders received the previous Saturday through Friday. Sorry, my "Day Job" just doesn't allow for the time during the week to get to the Post Office.
Thank you for your interest!

Thanks Michael!
Everyone else, please PM me with your order. Don't post your email here. I don't want to run the risk of someone hacking your request with false payment info.

Ok, so here's the thing..
I've just got in from work (its 12 midnight) and I find a box waiting on my desk. Needless to say I make short work of opening it because inside is Dave's new Snubby..!
I've been at this game for over three decades and I have to say this is possibly the most exquisitely produced kit I've ever laid my eyes on. Not only is each edge as crisp and sharp as a blade, the cleanup is quite literally laughable. I have gone through each element carefully and discovered only a single bubble (the mag housing) but for the rest, this is exactly what you see fella's - a magnificent piece of work that is every bit as perfect as Dave's photographs would lead us to believe.
Due to a heavy workload I won't get to building this for a little while, but I'd like to thank you Dave for what you've done here. Its fantastic and it will undoubtedly take its place alongside my Rick Ross and Sidkit worldcon and it will love it there!
Highest regards and warmest thanks
MARK

Good for you Staar...eager to see what you'll do with it; having seen your work grace this board before, no need to say that I'm very impatient to see the results 
As for the quality of the product, it is and will be up to par with a Tome kit (one day): hardly any or no flash nor holes, easy to assemble the pieces together. Dave sure did a A+ job on that one for sure  |

Thanks Mark, glad you're happy with the kit. I look forward to seeing photos of your build up.

Just a little update... there are still a few kits from the first run available. Some of the molds have broken down so I'll need to make new molds in order to do another run of kits. But I won't have the time to do this until after the first of the year. This is by way of saying, if you were thinking of the Snubby as the perfect Christmas gift for the Blade Runner fan in your life (or yourself), don't delay!
Another note about the next run, the clip holder and clip are likely to be molded in one piece. The double set of three part molds was just way too time consuming to redo again. This will mean no removable clip for LED conversion. So if you were thinking about adding electronics a first run kit is the only practical option.

I am down to my last two snub nose kits from the first run. When these are gone... I will make more, but I don't know when. And these are definitely the last to have the removable ammo clip. So if you've been one the fence about getting one...

Damn you. I don't have the $ at all right now  ...I guess I will have to wait and get the non removable version.

| Don't have the funds either, but my question to Dave is: even with the new clip, how difficult it would be to make it LED friendly? |

Tricky, but not impossible. It'll take a lot of carefull grinding and modification, including creating empy spaces for the batteries and electronics.

Got mine in the mail today. Thanks Dave!
Can't wait to build it, with a few modifications of course.
Once the deal on the house goes through and we get moved in and then we're away for Christmas and then..... |

| Well, off the top of my head, I'm thinking a metal barrel and hardware. I would love to do a metal grip frame with working triggers too. |
