Description
Ok, this is the one from a week ago, but it's weathered and I decided to try out the totally non-functional magazine. Just for looks!

Thanks Matt! The weathering is generally done with layers, I try not to sand anything down unless I absolutely have to. I consider it cheating a bit
As for clearcoat, I definitely do. It's the only thing to help protect the paint from sweat and oils in the skin. Most of the pieces end up in some kind of display setting, but I do expect them to be handled so I do what I can to help the finish last a long time.
Thank you for the questions and comments and I hope you enjoy yourself here on dA, it's a great community of people on here!

I made it with vinyl. It's nice and crisp, just a little on the expensive side if you have to get it made at a sign shop

On this it did not, but we make curved magazines that hold 6 actual rounds and have the look of being a longer magazine - mainly for show, but it's cool to have people thing you found a way to bend 'em around a curve

That's the fun of it..maybe like a Munny doll, they're all the same, but man they look different painted in 10,000 ways

Sneaky move you did there with the barrel (I was wondering if you modified the recon barrel.. but it was a longstrike

That clip is pure awesomneness. Did u have to customize the clip or did u get it from some other gun?

Custom yo! Doesn't work, but it was for a prop gun so fuction mattered zip! All looks, no brains!

ha ha ha. Awesome. Should find a way to make it functional. That would be badass.

Must... try to make... functioning version... of that clip! D:

Man, I wish! The thing has a block-o-wood as the core, but even without, the best you could do is maybe a mini mag with about 3 rounds at the top before the angle...if you figure out something though, lemmie know

I have a few theories on how to get it to work. Basically I think it just needs to be rounded more. I feel the spring could work with a gradual curve as opposed to a sharp angle. I need to get a bunch of clips of both sizes first though before I can put any of it into practice.

Or, if your really good at plastics and have the equipment, make a completely new clip.

Non-functioning or not, that clip looks badass.

Blood was spilled making that mag. It is now a holy relic

justice? if this were mine I'd go around and shoot everything with it XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
haha ok that's the other option I 'spose
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
so you cut and glued the extended mag. does it still work?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nope, block of wood in the body to support and add weight to the gun it's destined for. That angle won't allow for darts to travel unfortunately.

Do you think it would be possible to make a working version of that mag? Cause I would love a mag like that. Also the rest of the gun...

There's no way that I'm aware of looking at it. Raally glad you like the gun and I hope you'll check out my blog and FB page, there's a lot more photos than what I feel are appropriate for dA
