So I have a friend that is going to Star Con on the 20th (I think its the 20th) so she asked me to make her a gun. When I saw what she wanted I liked it, so I'm making myself one too. Can you guess what I'm going to do with these. They arrived about 10 min ago

| Ok, I'm building the hand gun from the first season of the new Battlestar Galactical. 
This is a replica someone else built. It's a little different but the picture is nice and big. 
And here is where I'm at. Hopefully I will have most of wednesday and all of thursday to finnish it up. 
I will make molds of the parts and cast them out of resin. And I plan on the gun still working when I'm done. I wish I had a cnc machine. that would make this a breeze.

| Considering you dont have a CNC machine, what all are you using/doing to creat such straight clean cuts? Battlestar Galactical, never would have guessed. I havent had TV since 2000, so i wouldnt know  .

| the detail stuff is made out of balsa so I use a ruler and an x-acto for those cuts. Lets see... so far I've used a scroll saw, router, cut off saw, a couple of files and an x-acto.

So I didn't make Star Fest  but here is where the gun is at now. 
I scraped my first side parts. These are made of layers of Balsa. Almost ready to mold, yay!

| In an effort to finnish up some of my projects, heres an update. have the barrel molded and the receiver parts half molded. they are silicone molds with a fiberglass shell. They still need cleaning.....have little bits of clay and such in them. I'm pretty happy with the way they came out.
