Those look amazing, but it seems to me (and im no expert by any means) that the grips are thin compared to the slide of the gun. I mean if you look at references of actual hand guns the grip is usually only a slight bit smaller then then slide. Yours appears to be about a third the overall width. Just food for thought.

It actually belongs to my workplace... one of the perks of working at an architecture firm
So, batch #1 is now complete and was a hit at NYCC! Here's a little more process:
After filling with joint compound, it was back to sanding/ priming to hide the seam:
Until they're finally ready for paint:
The base-coat consists of matte aluminum Krylon dusted with a gunmetal acrylic spray to give it a worn luster:
Then some weathering via brown acrylic wiped into the crevices and more aluminum dry-brushed on the edges:
The grips are laser cut from an AutoCAD layout I made from scanning and tracing a paper template:
Arsenal complete!

How much are you selling these for, if you are?

Came to ask the same thing
These are definitely for sale on a made-to-order basis (customizations welcome), but I would like to first confirm with a mod that buying/ selling is indeed allowed in this forum before posting the price. Until then feel free to send me a PM for more info!
The process of printing, cleaning, and surface finishing the prints was by far the most time and labor intensive part of the build, but needed to be done only once as I can now replicate it's final product with the molds. I think it will be faster to take the resin reproductions and strategically separate parts intended for movement in order to get things like a squeeze-able trigger, spring-loaded slide, or removable mag. All of which are definitely coming in a future variants!

Open sales outside the Classifieds Forum are not allowed. You gain access to the Classifieds when you reach Infantryman status.
Thanks! Me too
And sorry for the delay, this project is NOT in fact dead. A break after the push for Comic-Com turned into getting swamped at work, but I'm now on-track and have a teaser for my first variant, a fully engraved 1911-style model made out of cold-cast aluminum that I call "Magritte":
My goal is to be done with this one by the end of the week, so hopefully by then I will have some pics up of the finished product.

Can someone like I with Infantryman status help him with his post by posting it for him in classifieds and give his information to give him a start.

reminds me of the M6G Señora Sies from the Cole Protocol novel that was carried by Ignatio DelgadoMagritte is done! Might not be everyone's cup of tea, but it was a special request and I dig the way it turned out. Kind of like something a high-ranking officer would have as an heirloom or ceremonial keepsake:
